Hi!
The game is absolutely lovely, i love the concept. Can you please solve the lagging issue for next version? I can only recreate the lag when i put villager onto tree and then I add another tree on top...the game sandwiches villager between two trees and doesnt know what to do when the villager cuts the bottom tree bcs the second tree is on top. I guess it wants to stack the trees into a pile and doesnt see the villager on top and then cant put the top tree under the villager for choping.
I will try to look for more recreatable bugs, thanks for this game, hella fun!
A villager will just automatically attack a chicken if it paths into it. Absolutely not intended behavior and there's no way to stop it.
Same deal w Cooked Food shooting out of the fire, it autocombines if they group together so you won't be able to split it between villagers.
*edit* Biome just says "like a tree but infinite" but it sure was spitting out enemies over and over and I wasn't given the expectation that I should keep an eye on it.
Hey, thanks for the feedback! A new version is out: 1.9.1; these issues have been fixed (for the biome, description hasn't been changed because it will at 1.10) and we'd like you to test it out if possible and leave a feedback!
Trying to grab the castle makes your curser jump up to a completely different spot not holding a card.
Hey Edove, thanks for the feedback. New version: 1.9.1 is out, this issue have been fixed, you can test it out if possible
Sadly froze on second pack so cant give any feedback if you fix the freezing Issue ill give the game another shot.
Hey I know people can give you hard feedback sometimes but you got to remember we all like good games and want your game to be good too.
I hope things get better as your game does.
thanks for the feedback. 1.9.0 is out, some of these bugs may have been fixed
Nope still freezes solid right away, its got to be a memory issue or something as its useing a lot of memory.
Music plays still but game is dead.
Looks like it unfreezes but then refreezes when i try to do stuff cant really play in this state...
Idea is pretty fun. There is few problems (at least for me):
-you cannot stack weapons anymore on villagers, yet there is loading indicator
-campfire don't work or I have no idea how to use it (farm as well)
-boss is spawning to close to castle
I played only on web browser version
Thanks. For the boss, new version is out, he's been nerfed a bit. But new bugs is possible because there was an entire rework on the stacking system
Not sure if the roguelite or incremental stuff is implemented yet? There isn't really a meta element between runs that I found?
Yeah, more progression stuff will be added over time
Very interesting concept, definitely inspired by Stack Lands which is a great game, the tower defense twist could be interesting, like archer towers etc⦠as of now it still needs a lot more polish in most areas, but the idea is very promising!
Thanks!
Unplayable,very buggy, cards are sticky, cards wont let you pick them up, cards will not stack on similar cards when spawned, enemies are nearly impossible to attack if near any other card walls are useless.
I try not to be so negative but nothing about this current build was fun, you should honestly give it a very good once over polishing up the card mechanics and look at the inspiration of this game for guidance on basic polish its missing.
New version is out for trying
I played the game for 5 minutes and got a game over even though my castle wasn't attacked once.
Thank you for reporting this. We'll work on it.

This is just a buggy worse version of stacklands
We appreciate feedback, but vague complaints like 'buggy worse version of Stacklands' aren't helpful. This is a beta, with only a month of development, and we have no access to Stacklands' code or assets—our game is its own thing, inspired mechanically at best. If youβre serious about reporting bugs, list specific issues so we can address them. Otherwise, unconstructive comments like this will be removed to keep the discussion productive.
I mean its pretty much everything so its hard to say oh its this when its basically listing everything in the game currently, Like the card handling is atrocious, why do you have to drag cards multiple inch's away from the one they were stacked on to unstack them, why cant we feed a guy a stack of food, why are wall basically useless and unstacable or upgradable.
New version is out, some bugs were fixed
Hey there! My name is Ichit. I've done some QA for games like The Sims and Gears of War!
I played the game for an hour and wrote up a small report with some feedback.
Feel free to reach out to me if you want further testing on this product or any other products!
Feedback:
- Overall I really like the uniqueness of the game. I haven't played games like this before!
- The music of the game is very ambient and relaxing.
- At the beginning I didn't know I had any actions to do besides move around the animal card.
- I like the concept of this game I feel like it has alot of strategy involved
- I like the day night cycles. It helps change the mood of the game.
- I like the card interactions, it makes the game feel alive and feels like there's lots of different and interesting tasks to do
- Just a note -- most card games usually do attack stat left, defense stat right (i.e. MtG, hearthstone)
- Curious why the first villager has a crown compared to other villagers
- Sometimes when clicking a card or card pack I pan by accident
- A couple of times I accidentally bought a card pack when trying to pan around.
Bugs:
- The hitbox on the villager is hard to hit when villager is currently interacting with another card. It seems to only allow me to click the bottom half. Earlier I thought I wasn't able to move my villager to attack the monster
- Health value is offset on the card preview (i.e. Villagers 22 health you can see is not centered)
- It's hard to see the card icons on the card preview at night
- Card values are hard to read when zoomed out
- Not sure what happened. But late in the game my crowned villager was really hard to interact with. Even when I eventually was able to pick it up and placed the it on the enemy, it didnt attack.
- Sometimes when my villager was interacting with a card, they'd start moving top left suddenly. It was hard to reproduce, happened once in a while.
Suggestions:
- I had an idea of maybe you can get villagers with special abilities or maybe they eat a special fruit to give them powers.
--> Flash - allows villagers to teleport from one place to another
--> Double strike - first time a villager attacks in a fight, they hit twice
--> Tactical retreat - Villager can run away and get available food if near death
--> Bow - allows villagers to attack from range, but this villager will not auto attack nearby enemies.
- Could add a bit of tutorial. Was very lost at the beginning.
--> Some tutorial ideas:
-----> Click booster pack to buy one. Open the packs
-----> Tell player to drag villager onto resource and feed him some food, then assume player can figure other things out.
- I think for the pack store it'd be nice if the booster pack changes color when it is purchaseable.
- Would be awesome to get more packs to choose from, or the ability to upgrade the pack store.
- Would be cool to know what each pack entails so the player gets more info from what pack over the other.
- Would be good to be able to drag villager on food to eat, seeing as you drag villager on to other resources to interact
- When dragging cards, if you could provide info if you can interact with the card, it might help new players a bit. for example. I didn't know I couldnt drag player on food, but if you mention that food needs to be dragged on a villager when held, it may help!
- I think cards that are immovable should have a different styling or a lock icon when hovered so player knows they can't be moved (i.e. like the castle / enemy)
- A hotkey to go to your villagers or certain resources could be helpful
- A sound when cards spawn in without players interactions could provide players a bit of a warning in case enemies come in
- Could be good to switch cursor icon when hovering over a purchaseable pack (much like when you hover over the cards)
- Would be great if I can drag groups of cards and move them
- I think more info on what happens after the time elapse progress bar has finished would be good. I am unsure what it means besides switching to day time
- Might be good to have an alarm when the players castle is getting attacked
- Could be neat to get tools or structure that allow you to process unwanted resources. For example once I got biomes. I chose those over the tree resources as I didn't have to micro manage my villagers. So I'd rather throw those resources away or sell them instead.
Very interesting, you are a very good person and your feedback is very informative
The villager has a crown because he is the king, there'll be consequences for when he gets killed in the future. But for now he only has a little bit of more health.
I'll be using some of your ideas for the next version, some of them I had from the start too, but they get lost in the middle of all the features that have to be added.
Cheers, glad it helped :)
Yeah, lacks of automation, lot of glitches, especially villagers being locked with a food or weapon until the game decide it's ok,
Animals never dropped me any food
Hey, first, thank you for the feedback. Can you clarify on the bug of the villager being locked, you mean the cooldown progressbar not working? Thanks
Not the same person, but when I gave my villager a sword, I couldn't move him and lost immediately.
When you give a weapon or a food to a villager, sometimes it's not consuming it making you stuck, by mooving/spam the mouse everywhere sometimes it unlocks.
I'm not sure what it is, but new version is out, maybe it fixed it. We're making a bunch of things that are "safer" in the code, like rotating the sprite for animations instead of the whole card
found a few glitches:
- When cards interact with each other, they have a chance of drifting to the right without interaction (it happens a lot when villagers switch to a new resource in the stack)
- If a villager fights a monster while being spawned, it will not align properly and will stay skewed even if you give it gear
- If a tool spawns on a villager, it will not move from it, and it will not apply the tool to the villager (if you make the villager farm resources, the tool will be able to move again)
- Animals can spawn in the small gaps between cards (this usually ends up triggering the first glitch)
I hope this helps!
Hey, thanks, I'll be fixing that
A bit short for now but very nice. :) When you start to have a lot of card it becomes a bit hard to handle all of them.
Thanks!
jogo bem legal, parabens
Obrigado
