I couldn't manage to keep the hero alive either :D But it was fun trying!
Well done!
Stay funky,

Eyy, fun game. Took me about 8 tries or so to beat it.
The music is great and good use of the assets. The game has great presentation.
As for the gameplay, it's interesting to try and find which sabotages are the most effective. After reading the description, I thought I'd want to stack the well sabotages, but found the speedup wasn't worth the investment, so decided to change my strategy to disrupt, poison, and buff.
The buffs being random was pretty frustrating. The only one that had immediate feedback was the heal, so I'd always be hoping for that one. Just having icons for the buffs doesn't tell me what they do or if they're even any good. Also, getting the same buff twice was pretty frustrating since it doesn't seem to do anything if you already have it.
Instead of having to switch between the hero and queen cameras, it'd be nice to just always have the hero's view on screen like the minimap. You don't have time to switch between the two while sabotaging.
The "disorder the food supply" sabotage is a complete mystery. It isn't listed in the description and doesn't seem to have any noticeable effect. I prefer the sabotages that tell you what they do in the description like "Disrupt citizens to slow down soldier production rate".
Overall, great game. Really enjoyed it. Thanks for making it!
Thank you for pushing through the game until the end. All valid criticisms.
- Well doesn't give enough speed unless you take a certain route.
- Buffs have no descriptions in game and can happen more than once which is an issue.
- Camera switches were there in order to hear what's happening on the hero's perspective but couldn't utilize it properly. You can barely hear anything even if you switch.
- Disorder the food supply is the same with disrupt citizens, it looks like I forgot to change the text.
I also noticed these issues once I played it properly; but didn't have enough time to fix these matters. Wish I could patch it but what can you do, it is a jam game :)
Thank you for your comment!
