When we were researching for folklore, we came across the toadman story and found it rather absurd and had no idea how to turn it into a game (A horse based 4X game?). The fact that you leaned into that absurdity and made it work is really fun. It's well polished too!

SUPERB! I loved this and IM SO GLAD SOMEONE DID A TOADMAN GAME. It's such a wild bit of folklore I found too late to add.

But very polished, very fun and quite forgiving which is great for the people playing at the forum. (I played there at first, some machines have more horses on screen than FPS! I finished it despite that because it was so fun.)

Fun dialogue and charming sprite work too! Great job!

This is a great game and it has awesome music!

This is such a fun game!! I loved seeing the Norwich landmarks and the use of theme was really well done. The art is beautiful!! I really liked the sfx too. I did encounter a bug where if I pressed anything, my mouse wouldn't move, but I still managed to beat it! Really well done!

Developer

Hey! Could you explain a little more about the bug? Was it from the very start of the game? And was it keyboard inputs that prevented mouse movement, or mouse clicks? We've not been able to replicate the bug so it'd be good to have more info! :) Nevertheless, I'm so grateful that you continued to play regardless, it really means a lot! <3

Very nice game! I had fun storming the castle and managed to beat the Toad King, even if I died a few times along the way. The bosses seemed well balanced - think I was down to my last one or two hearts on all but one of them. And like others have said, love the polish on this one, it really felt finished!

I love'd this! The game is extremely polished and really fun to play! I loved the music, art and the writing was really cute! It was super challenging but pretty forgiving with the restarts. I didn't expect so much content in such a short time frame, the bosses especially blew me away with how unique they all felt! Amazing job, you both should be super proud!
