Great job! I absolutely love the art style here it is so charming and looks hand drawn. The itch page is also really good and fits the style of the game very well, I love when itch pages are themed to the game, I think it adds so much and leaves a great first impression. GG!
Thank you! We appreciate your feedback!
Pretty fun and simple game! The dialogue was cool. I feel like there could be some extra mechanics, but it's very well polished for having been made in so little time! Good job!
We are so glad you like it!!🫶🏻
I really like the narrative of the game and the artwork also suit perfectly! Awesome work!
Thank you for your feedback!
You made such a charming game! I really enjoyed it :) Especially the hand drawing style of it and the characters. I think it would be even more fun to have more interactions with them!
I tried to take risks at first but after a couple of failures it seemed better to play it safe and go out just for a couple of coins insted af sprinting to the centre of the village :)
I also wonder if the scaffold plays some role in the game or is just...a decoration? :D
It is also very cool how you implemented the tutorial into the game. Neatly done!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Maybe in the future we can add more interactions, note taken.
The scaffold its just some decoration to give some ambientation hahah, we also had a fountain and then changed it to this :)
Appreciate your feedback!
I love the artsyle! Reminds me of those hidden object puzzles I would do as kid.
Thanks for playing! Im glad you had fun :)
I had a lot of fun playing this! It's a really good entry and I love some of the silly drawings for the characters haha
Thanks, I'm glad you liked the game and had a good time
Thank you so much! We're glad you had fun playing it! :)
Art style is really unique in its simplicity and I like it. Guards can take your money while you're stealing, but I think it's just a slight overlook. Overall fun game 💰
Thanks for your feedback! Guards aren't supposed to take your money while stealing (bug). Later when the jam ends we will give it some updates to fix it. I appreciate it :)
Cool artstyle, nice detail with changing the player looks when he gets more money. I also like that the more money in your pockets slows you down
Thank you! I'm glad you like this feature :). Don't forget to rate us!
Thank you for the feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed the details and art style. 😁
I like so much the hand painting style of your game ! Made me feel like i was playing a DnD game in a way, this is so cool !!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! We have a really good artist on our team :D
Ohhh thank you so much for the comment!!❤️
I like the little progression details, like how the gold pile gets bigger and bigger! Nice game!
I'm thrilled you pointed out that. Hope you had fun playing our game!
Fun game with a lot of humor!
The fact that in the end you can slide in a form of a fat king make me laugh :)
Thank you! The end with the king moving was not supposed to happen XD but we didnt have time to correct it. However I'm glad it made you laugh :D
Smart way to approach an art style for a jam game. I didn't expect to swindle people in a game that looked like this.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
Thanks!!!🫶🏻
That was a well realized word with fun dialogue!
Thank you!
Fun animatic style. Music loop is slightly repetitive. Humorous dialog. Subtle use of the theme. I like it!
Thank you for your comment and your constructive feedback is greatly appreciated. ✩
Cool idea and great execution. There are few exploits but overall experience was great. Game perfeclty fits to jam theme. Congrats! :D
Thanks for your constructive criticism and support!! ✿
Nice idea and art style! Felt like the gameplay rewarded the chicken way out of just always going back to your chess tho.
Thanks for your feedback! We appreciate it very much ✲
Really loved the art style and concept, I felt that the music was excellent but got a bit repetitive after a while. I also really liked the day/night cycle.
Great work!
Thank you!
Thanks so much for the comment! ❤︎
I liked the concept a lot, the idea of scaling but getting punished by greed.
There was some exploits, such as pressing e all the time during the steal sections. But great work for 48 hours
Thanks for your feedback! It was our first jam and our first time working together :)
This is so great! I really like the style. big fan of this one, Great job!
Thank you so much! We're thrilled you enjoyed it, especially since this was our first experience in game development. Your support means a lot! :)
Amazing! Nice graphics and you've perfectly fit into the jam's theme! Perfect!
Thank you, we really appreciate it! Your feedback motivates us to keep creating!
