Love the style. But had a hard time making it through the early game. I feel it needs some balancing.

Well done though!

You’re right we totally overlooked the start of the game because we ran out of time! Do you feel the gameplay is too slow even after building farms that generate more resources?

I had four farms running, but never got to building anything which gave me more workers. Maybe add an option which lets you build some cheaper housing early on ?

For reference, I managed to get around 100 resources at most at any time.

Thanks for the info! Really appreciate the feedback.

This game is so cute! omg I love how interacting with the lil villagers in certain ways provokes certain reactions that's a really nice attention to detail. I wish I could kill the enemies more effectively, but other than that this is a nice game. Love the color pallet!

Very cute game! I like the art style. I wish it was a little bit faster at the start. Good work!

Love this! I would love a more fleshed out version of this game to play. Really loved the color palette and could definitely put a lot of time into playing this - nice work!

A bit slow, but a really cool game nonetheless!

Great game, wish it was a little faster pace though. Nevertheless, I had a lot of fun playing :D

The artstyle and color palette were amazing. I was missing some kind of tower to defend the city at the beggining since the barracks were to expensive. I really like it tho <3

Cute game, and can get quite addicting. Liked the art and the colours, though I wish the game either had a bit more challenge or more things to do while waiting for those dark spots to collect.

Felt a little unfair until I realized I could zoom out! This is a cute game with very nice art. I wish there was an option for a fast forward to grow things a bit faster. Nice job!
