How does your game fit the theme?
We have put an emphasis on the calm before the storm, with a relaxing ambiance and experience for the player with interesting visuals and sounds during the day. During this period the player can explore and manage his villagers. During the night, a violent storm occur and waves of crabs rushes toward the player while destroying and stealing everything on their passage, including inhabitants.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
For the code, it's 100% ours! We made them all from scratch depending on our needs.
For the assets, since we are all developers we searched for available assets on the internet (with appropriate licenses).
We also made some of our own based on the acquired assets depending on our needs, for example the stalls, the water, the boat, items and palissades.

A very good game!She's pretty cool and interesting.It is very interesting to develop your kingdom.People are very funny, as are the enemies.I just didn't understand why the boars didn't attack.
I would really like the character to run.And the jump.
Thanks for playing and for your feedback! The boars are meant to be passive creatures, targets for the archers to kill and gain coins. Since it's side scroller, we opted for no jump (there is simply no need), but a run could have beneficial I totally agree with you! Glad you liked it ^^
I'm glad this review helped you :)
As someone who has played Kingdoms New Lands, I can definitely see the inspiration.
It's great and captures the vibe of the Kingdom games well, I think a few more personal elements would have been great. Also during the nights no enemies were appearing for me? Was a bit confused about that.
Other than that, amazing visuals, sounds and polish!
Thanks for palying and for the feedbacks! The enemies were probably the trickiest to create, we had issues with their respawn which broke the gameplay loop of the waves ^^'. They are very small and can often be tricky to see, so maybe highlithing them could have helped?
Yeah, I continued playing the save until I sailed away and noticed small crabs stealing money and hammers of my workers, during the day.
Highlighting sounds good, maybe have bigger enemies in general? Probably some sound effects to go along etc., that you notice when they attack.
Very polished game - great work!
I gotta be honest, I'm too dumb for this game. I was wandering around for a while getting money, getting my money stolen, then I suddenly died. Really polished though, cute graphics and sounds!
Thanks for playing and for your feedbacks! We didn't really explain it but your "health" is your coin amount, the crabs will try to steal it from you. bit if you have no coin left and a crab try to steal, you lose :P
It's a game with a very calm atmosphere, the night is also ominously foreboding at just the right level. The graphics are very nice, well thought out. At first I thought the game was buggy. I didn't give money to the beggars, I spent everything on the map on equipment. And the barricade was not built. Then, on the second run, I realized that they had to be hired. After about 15 laps, too many unemployed people came to town and I ran out of money. The rats stole the archery equipment. I wonder what the expensive wreck is in the forest.
Oh unfortunate hahaha, sorry for the inconvenience :'). We had many feedbacks on the tutorial, it's something we could definetly improve in a future build! The expensive wreck is the end goal, once you build it you win the game pretty much, there should be a cinematic but on the build we released for the game jam it didn't work ^^'. Thanks for playing and for your feedbacks!!
This game has a perfectly chill vibe, I love its atmosphere! I think I would have liked money to be a little easier to get because after the first day of collecting all of the barrels money gain was a little stagnant. But I'd love to play a game like this with more content, it would definitely work well if you continued development. Great work!
Thank you for playing and for your feedbacks! I agree for the money we didn't really give proper explanation on how to obtain. If the archers can't find any boars, the player won't obtain any money making it very random. If we continue it, we would definetly think about alternatives ^^
Maybe a shop npc you can trade money with for boar feed to lure them in for the archers to kill? just an idea, I think the roles the npcs play has very dynamic potential
Nice game! The sound effects and everything was great! It heavily reminded me of Jonas Tyroller’s game Thronefall, just in 2d and pixel art.
Thanks for playing our game 😁Glad you enjoyed it!
Not a problem!
Any chance I can convince you to rate our game? It’s at 19 ratings and we just need one more! Thank you so much, and if you don’t have the time, don’t worry about it!
Already ahead of you and already done 😉 Good job for the game jam once again 👏!
