dope game, great job
Thank you!
Pretty good game, I was able to beat it on my first run thanks to king crab dealing 8000 damage to the final boss.
Just completed another run on the 2nd difficulty with chargers, boar did nearly 10k damage, both times I won was thanks to the kangaroo trophy.
Hey Lemonspray! I'm glad that you liked the game. Well done in winning back to back, you're definitely performing better than most players!
Both the King Crab and the Boar are amazing carry units :D Especially among the ones available at the beginning!
