Use of the limitation
The king has only one life. All of his subjects only have one as well, but you have plenty of subjects, and what's one peasant life worth anyway.

Cookies eaten
At least three. The amount of pizza though...

Very fun interpretation of the limitation! Just a nitpick, but the villager sprite in the selection boxes seems to have accidentally been placed too high.

I love it! Unfortunately I think I ran into bugs where villagers' actions were getting out of sync which caused a flying villager to fall down before the next one (that previously used it as a platform) has passed? The king disapproves. But I guess it's hard to get this kind of game entirely bug free in one weekend. Still super impressive!

Very good use of the limitation. I like the sprites. However, i don’t understand how to control villagers.

Nice concept and execution! It's indeed pretty tough to play, cause you need many correct jumps to get there. Having many villagers is also fun, but confusing at the same time!

The game idea is really nice, art style, music, smooth gameplay everything is perfect. But i cannot figure out the villager's use. They duplicate everytime and maybe they repeat all the actions i performed when i was a villager but they sometimes stay stuck randomly. I also cannot figure out that level where vilagers are introduced, villagers die when they fall from above so does king so how can one descend from that height

Thanks!

Indeed, you control every character, but since you cannot control them all at once, you need to do it one by one.

Your villagers can move around and assume positions in the right places, so the king can reach the end with their help. 

Tip: when jumping from a high distance you die, but if you land on the corpse of a villager, that might just break the fall. ;)
