Really like the simplicity of it but it also feels like a complex enough game and loads of different ways to play. Eventually I just ended my turn instantly until the enemies came into me and just picked them off, super nice. Story is good too, atomic bombs arent the most 13th Century but it works with the rest of the theme!</p>\n<p>I had some issues with the game crashing on Firefox and the rocks didnt get mined by the dwarves but otherwise it worked well. Pixel art is really nice here too, just enough detail to make the world feel alive but not too much. Congrats on a really nice little game!</p>\n"},{"typ":2,"at":348863097,"author":"Jupiter Hadley","login":"Jupiter-hadley","gh":97069389,"url":"www.jupiterhadley.com","twitter":"Jupiter_Hadley","text":"<p>I like that you had a story and found the game to be well made!

I know you ran out of time, but you still did a good job!\nI went through the game and here’s my feedback:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>The pathfinding was great - good job on that</li>\n<li>For the UI, I think there could have been improvements - specifically, I didn’t find the size of the map to contribute to the gameplay at all (since the direct path was the easiest path).  So instead, what I’d suggest is to decrease the size of the map and increase the size of the assets so that you can focus more on the visuales and players can see more clarity in the characters themselves.</li>\n<li>The pink and blue was hard to read - I’d suggest using a tool like this <a href=\"https://uxplanet.org/best-three-color-scheme-for-music-player-5da996d7f460?gi=403ce9d9bec0#:~:text=There%20are%20some%20patterns%20what,very%20edges%20of%20human%20perception\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https://uxplanet.org/best-three-color-scheme-for-music-player-5da996d7f460?gi=403ce9d9bec0#:~:text=There%20are%20some%20patterns%20what,very%20edges%20of%20human%20perception</a> to determine what colors you’ll use together.  As a software developer myself, it took me a long time to start learning the importance of the UI side but tools like that can help us ^</li>\n<li>Good work using prettier</li>\n<li>I’d suggest also using eslint and stylelint as well if you want other community members to contribute to your code</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Overall, great game and great job!   What’s next?
