Awesome! Great idea for a game, it's really fun to play and feels like a complete game already. Really neat mechanic where you have to balance having corpses to raise vs. money, and also balance your actions in an ever-expanding loop of action slots... makes for a fun challenge. Great stuff.

Very nice! Feels like a completed game to me, and is a lot of fun! Congratulations!

This is great! I feel like my brain expanded when I realized I could take out runes from the loop in order to focus on the strongest ones. I barely won with 1 hp left!

Loved building up my army and watching them wail on dudes. Corpse explosion OP. Would have liked a little visual near my necro when he was about to cast Meteor so that I could run into position before it triggered; my eyes were constantly on my avatar and not the skill bar. Too many necro games are Pikmin clones, and I'm glad you went with something different here. Got into an interesting strategy of not loading up my skill bar with every skill so that I could repeat a few choice skills in a quicker cycle. Glad I played!

Well made game, was fun to have the different things to choose from, and I like that you could save your runes for if you wanted to put them in your rune bar or not. I also love necromancers so that's a plus from me haha!

This is just a really fun game. I was disappointed there wasn't another round with more spells and enemies. This is definitely a game that could be made into a full game. Very very fun, great music, great sounds, great art style. Great job on this. Truly.

Edit: The only thing I think that hurt it was that it was very tough to move and click for spells at the same time. I wish there was a button or set of buttons to control buying / arranging spells. Maybe the arrow keys and then you're playing it like a piano, with split mind.

Solid game. It is a very simplistic interpretation of the theme of the gamejam but it works. Good work overall

Really fun little game. Only 2 things are that I got a few big lagspikes around the beginning, and the text box for the thing to buy stays the same if you keep hovering over it, even when it gets switched out. Great work!

Super fun, the animations and game-feel are super polished. The gameplay is an awesome mixture of interactive and hands-off. Love watching the minions do all the work!

cool arcade game, had a lot of fun! If you take feedback: the player can be hard to tell from the enemies sometimes
