This is such a fun mechanic that playes well in main story! Also never seen it before. I am a big fan of multitasking mechanics, and this one is elegant and funny. Grabbed those taxes in 17 days!
Also big props to the whole team, everything goes wery well together :)

Walled City SunsetGreat game! Super fun and polished!
One thing that would be nice to see is somehow give the player more insentive to scretch to the far away huoseholds. Right now the houses recharge so quickly it's optimal to just keep taxing the closest 5 or 6 of them without ever reaching for the further placed ones. Which is just kind of unfair to those poor closeliving peasants (although probably historically accurate).

The Mini-Fishing GameAwesome game, I love how quirky the gameplay is!
The controls make perfect sense and are unique, the sound design and visuals are top notch, and the risk vs reward of extending your arms further to tax richer houses works really well.
I would have liked a small ending cutscene as a reward for completing the game because the intro cutscene was really cool.
One of my favorites from the jam for sure, it's really short and simple, but does everything it aims to do perfectly. Well done!

The Pocket MasterI love the fun and silliness of this game. Also the poem on the About section of the game page is awesome! Nice touch! Cool use of theme! I could see this being addicting to play. :) Great game!
Feel free to give my game a try, Tinker Escape. :)
Cheers

Tinker EscapeVery cool game ! The art of the game is beautiful, and the idea of extending arms on kilometers is so funny :D

Moldy FruitsThis is sooo awesome! Funny concept but also deep in a way!
At first, I thought that the idea was to squeeze as much as possible from a house without draining it all so they can continue to give you money in the future when they recover, but I found that draining them all was actually the way it was intended to be played. Maybe this other way has even more depth to it.
The presentation is bloody amazing. The time period art, the music, the UI, everything. The music also has no deal being this good. Incredible work.

Sunset SwingYou should invent a device to plug into our brains, so we can dream/play this while we sleep 🤣

BUILT TO SCALE! GMTK2024Great job! I liked the mechanics. Simple, but they make you think a bit. A big plus is the art — very atmospheric and high-quality.

NEUBAUHAUSNice art. Was fun to move the hands arround. Would be nice if there was an end cutscene where the king has it's statue. Here is my comment sire. Fun game :)
