This is a stellar game, I love how open the world is and it has a nice art style.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
The best way to earn money fast is to allow the bandit to grow in number and size, thus creating chaos. So, to play effectively, let there be chaos.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I did not create fonts and didn't create the game over sound, but everything else I made myself.

Really awesome game. The concept is quite unique, it has lots of potential! However the main issue I had was lack of sound, the experience would have been much enhanced if there was music. It was a bit off putting. But other than it was a really cool game. And getting upgrades was really rewarding.
Would deffo get on mobile. It would be great to play while on the bus
69 haha nice
Cute and fun game and a lot of potential!
But the enemy balance feels kinda off
After day 1 it was really hard to find anything on the map
Bow could strech a little faster, add some more music and more mobs at the beggining what you have a beggining of a cool meatboy
Why do the enemies disappear like that? although it goes well with the theme XD
great concept btw. I would like you to work on it more. Also, please make the arrow mechanic a bit easier. It's a waste to power up the arrow by holding it for a game like this. As a result, fighting the enemies is harder. Although, if you went for a more realistic game mechanic then it works perfectly.
Loved it.
I played your game it was fun and overall I liked the concept and I gave it 5 stars :p
Pls rate back :D
Fun game! Though I did find it a bit awkward when the enemies go to the edge of the screen and you can't get to them without loading the next "room". The camera could probably follow the player a bit more aggressively. Also music would have been good. Other than that, well done!
Overall its great. But the enemies disappear when I go away from them and respawn on the default position when I get back towards them. The idea was cool. Would love to see further expanding of this. All the best!
scaling and camera follow make it impossible to play. the player is not on the screen half of the time and if you get too close to the a border while fighting the screen will suddenly recentre and you can't see or attack the enemies any more (I also think they get reset or at least return to their starting point when that happens.)
Sadly this game took a bit too long to complete :/ I played for 10 minutes and barely got anywhere
It was a bit fun, how the camps spawned was a bit weird though. I wish the map was smaller and that you'd have some "beginner camp" you could raid, would also be nice if we knew if we're actually supposed to kill the people or not, since you can just run in and grab all the cash
Good job anyways! I played through it here so you can get my full feedback:
the art is really cute. but the game doesn't fit fully in my screen though i am on full screen. the character goes out of the screen and you have to walk backwards to bring the character back on screen. the enemies disappear if you go out of the screen. some background music was lacking. over all a good game. could use some improvements.
Very nice little game! I wish that the world was a little more populated and there were more landmarks to help me distinguish between areas, but overall very solid! The camera was a bit slow meaning that I would often outpace the camera right into a bandit camp but that can be fixed easily. The other bug I found was that the spearmen wouldn't take damage for some reason, don't know if that was my fault or what. Overall very charming!
Liked it, but the camera is a bit slow in my opinion and the enemies sadly despawn sometimes in the middle of the fight when backing a bit of.
It's a fun game! I really liked how the game is designed. Although, the camera movement was too slow for my liking, I find myself not seeing my character the majority of the time.
