This is my entry for LD27. This is a semi-strategic game about resurrecting the dead and destroying buildings. You will see "how to play" when you launch the game.
Note: I did not have time to implement pathfinding, so if you want to attack one unit with a crowd, you'll need to use your micro-management skills.

I love the atari style graphics! Couldnt figure out what I'm supposed to do though. :/ My mouse got really slow and laggy inside the window for some reason as well.
Failed to start: missing MSVCP100D.dll
It sounds like you compiled with debug on, according to the internet. I presume I need to install VS to get the debug dll, which I don't have time for. Sorry.
Haha like this genere, pretty sweet for 48 hours and using C++ and opengl makes it even sweeter :)
Good job!
Damn, this game is fun! I really enjoyed it - I will definitely be playing it again. I like how you decide how powerful your skeletons/zombies are, based on how long you do the ritual.
This is definitely one of the better games.
Nice game. Controls could be a bit better, especially the camera was a bit annoying. The 10 second revive thing got kinda tedious after a while, maybe you should made it an area effect instead of 10 seconds per body.
Interesting concept. My mouse cursor disappeared when the game ran and I couldnt figure out what to do, even with the "how-to-play" at the start.
FYI, the mouse cursor in the game looks like a dark grey square.
Missing MSVCR100D.dll this time (adding it to the zip should work IIRC). Will check back later, this looks interesting!
I added MSVCR100D.dll to the zip, but in case it still doesn't work, the quickest soulution would be to just install visual studio redistributable package.
Which can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=5555
It works, and it's very good! Nice tension between taking the time to raise strong zombies and avoiding the order's attention.
A suggestion: using WASD to pan the map is a bit unwieldy. Maybe add an option to use middle mouse click + mouse movement to pan the map?
It works now for me. Overall pretty fun. It took a little bit for me to figure out what was going on at first, but once I did it started to become fun.
I like the control and ideas, felt the summon of 10s was a too long (I know its the theme though...).
Just read the tutorial text that appears when you run the game...
This was a fun attempt at an RTS. I know RTS's are hard in this short amount of time, so I'm actually really impressed. I gave this high ratings because I can see where you were going with it, and given more time, I think this could be sweet! Nice job :)
Love that you did an RTS in the time you had. Think the map was a bit spread out - would have worked just as well with the whole thing on one screen and everything moving slower. Also I really wanted a "select all army" button. The (non) pathfinding style was fine I thought - didn't cause any problems. Really nice little entry overall.
I love my skeleton army so much. I LOVE this game when my skeletons are all surrounding something and just punching it until it falls down. Whenever I have to move my necromancer I am annoyed, since he refuses to move onto bodies. Maneuvering him next to a bunch of stacked up bodies is very much a bother. I would also have liked to see something like push scrolling with the mouse; generally simpler controls. Juggling everything with the order around leads to lots of piles of bones. :(

Cant download it :/
Pretty interesting idea behind it,
although the massive spread on the unit can be a bit annoying at times, but pretty neat overall
Really like the game idea and the gameplay.
Graphic style is simple but effective.
Ambitious idea for a jam! Cool ideas, could have used more polish on controls, camera, etc.
A fairly nice idea and well made.
Has little to do with the theme, however.
I installed the C++ runtime, but the game still won't start. There's just an empty window...
Loved the idea, moving around the view was a bit slow but I really enjoyed the game!
I couldn't really get into this. Moving units and the camera around seemed quite awkward.
Pretty fun! Interesting trade-off between quantity and quality, given the time constraints.
interesting setting, nothing about 10sec though
gameplay is playable, graphics are great

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
I get a "msvcp100d.dll is missing" error when I try to run your game.
