Lovely game! A really cute survivor-like, also felt fitting to the theme (storm... storming a castle lol). Especially enjoyed the character dialogue (and sick riffs during the fights >:D) ! I used the sword a lot during combat which didn't always aim at my cursor and sometime finding enemies was a struggle at the end of waves (also didn't get any enemies after restarting game and getting the chicken upgrade) but it's clear a lot of thought has been put into the safe rooms with its unique voice lines and calm music, and I thought it's fun to have a game like this where upgrades don't depend on combat necessarily. Overall it's a really nice game with heart and soul (':
