How does your game fit the theme?
Besides the title pun, the game has you managing a resource pipeline with timers for each action. It had phases and level count downs but I removed them in favor of better game flow.

Very well made! It may be a matter of taste, but I would have preferred more automation over micromanaging every building, it felt too daunting to focus on making sure every building it maximizing effort, resulting in me resorting to alternating tab/click. I'm sure I'm not playing right because the pars are pretty far off from the times I'm getting! Regardless, the game is definitely well-made and all the systems work really well, and I love the UI.
the game is time killer, I didn't stop until finishing it, it was a fun game with a nice concept, you can easly pass levels by spamming the tab, but the last level needed me to collect resource so I can build those solider building, it took time! overall really enjoyed
I found the strategy: Select all the buildings and then spam tab and click
Great game! I like how you have to buy buildings with the resources you make. I think it could be better if you had to buy workers and then you had to order them to do XYZ.
Good job!
This was a very fun game to play although I'm not sure how well it fits the theme
Glad you enjoyed it! At first I had countdowns for the buildings, for the switch between building and action phases and for the levels (if you took too long the king would be angry and you would get a game over). I ended up removing them to make the game easier and let players play at their own pace.
Very cute little management game! I liked the art a lot. It's funny how similar the storyline of our submission is to your submission haha!
Once I learned the best way to play it was really fun. I love it!
It's pretty fun for a relaxing game, albeit slightly laborious at the start. There's much potential if you decide to expand on this. Quite fun to play as a whole!
