Love this! The art and story is very nice and the mini games are fun. I would only advise for the player to move more quickly because it is very difficult to get what every goblin needed. Enjoyed it a lot!!

Cute little game! Though I wish the player could move a bit faster - it felt difficult getting what the goblins needed before they could get to the village, especially when a bunch of them appeared at once.

Cool idea, fun little mini games to bribe the goblins from attacking ..interesting take on tower defense where you're not killing the enemy but giving him coin, food, and sparkly rocks haha.. fun game! Would be interesting if there was an AI that did normal tower defense so you could have a little help, and make interesting decisions on which mini game to do if you knew the player was fighting off a certain path or against certain opponents .. but then again, that might go against the whole idea of a Knight Who Doesn't Fight so maybe not haha, fun game!

Definitely a path worth exploring! Maybe I'll go back to this again some time in the future when I need a break from my current project :)

FANTASTIC art - you are making me smile with your creation... well done - one idea for improvement would be to consider playing around with the speed of play, it's a cool idea!!

I beat the game! well done. Very good for a game made in 48hours. I just wish the player moved a tad faster! 5/5!

Developer

Noted! Thanks for the kind words!

The screen is just blank, the game isn't working

Developer

Sorry to hear that! Did it give any kind of error message? Did the music start playing, or just unable to load the game at all?

Great entry! I really liked the art and sound design, and the rock/deer minigames were pretty fun. The gold spam meter felt like it took a little too long, but that could just be my preference. Overall nicely done!

Although it was decently fun, I couldn't see myself wanting to play it for much longer after the end.

I agree. I had plans to add more levels with new additions to the goblins, but ended up running out of time :(
