it’s very fresh to see someone actually interested in GAMEPLAY concerning the top 20 selection! Most public comments are more about graphics and ‘joint animated characters’… I checked out your roach killer game, which indeed is a fun little puzzle game. I also agree that a lot of the selections in the top20 did not look very interesting, but most games that I actually tried were pretty good gameplay wise. I also played some very well made games (like exisled) that did not make the list – probably because of lack of innovation. And some did not make it because they were not overly fun. I am very happy that my little submission Chaos made it to the top 20, because i think -similar to your game- that it is mainly the gameplay that made it worth playing.

For your own development career, just keep on doing stuff and think as hard as you can what kind of game has not been done before. Also, some simple physics education can help you to get some awesome stuff done with some experimentation!

Ive been devving for almost 3 years now. I started when I was 15.

Referring to comment 2: I have received several standings in comps, most of them being local (South African) games.

I noticed a few bugs if you will – if you click on two different kinds of soldiers, you will have them both stuck to your cursor, and every time you click you will place two soldiers at once instead of just one and there’s no way I could find to undo this.

Other than that, the game worked fine. I enjoyed it! How long have you been making games?
