Very fun game! Reminded me a lot of Kingdom: New Lands, which I loved.
I had an interesting bug, where all the evil cherries from the right side got stuck on top of each other and couldn't move towards my castle and once I got close to them, I got one-shot xD
But very fun game, nice and and cozy music. Love it!
Really cute game ! The gameplay loop is satisfying, and I had a lot of fun playing. The player movement felt a little slow at times, but overall it's a fun and well-made game. Great job !!!
I thought this game was very cute and enjoyable, I really sucked at it though! The artwork was fantastic, both the backgrounds and the sprites. I also loved the music for the boss battle! Very good response to the brief.
I didn't quite understand how to attack. The instructions next to the game showed spacebar as attack, but it was just jumping. Maybe I'm stupid, that's possible too haha. It was also not super clear what the walls did. I expected them not to allow enemies through, but they were free to move around them, so I was confused.
I'm guessing that the game is inspired by Kingdom Two Crowns, but I've never played it myself, so maybe that's why these mechanics are not clear to me.
This was a really cute game about a little kingdom management game. Gathering wheat, managing your dough economy and upgrading your defenses creates a cool gameplay loop that I enjoyed so much. Balancing resources and protecting your kingdom is what keeps things engaging and where the difficulty resides. Even though I played twice I couldn't defeat the cherry king lol.
Also, you guys have a very beautiful and colorful pixel art, I think the game has plenty of personality!
It was really fun to play and I love how you used the gamejam theme for the game, greta work!
I really enjoyed the pixel art and the gameplay reminding of 2 crowns made me feel at home ^^ the game might need a bit of polish but I liked discovering the tartians :) Congrats !
Very cute game, lovely sound, I think I had a bug where it was stacking enemies on a side of the map and it was impossible to approach them without dying! Would only like to have more feedbacks and juiciness in interactions. But this aside for 4 days it's really impressive!
Cool game and characters, attacking lacks some animation and feedback, but other than that, I had a good time playing your game :)
This one was super cool. Reminded me of Kingdom Two Crowns. The art and sound effects were great and I played this one quite a deal longer than I play some of the other ones on here. Pretty Zen. Great job, keep it up!
At some point I had a full army waiting during the day next to my house, is that normal ^^ ?
Anyway, The game theme is great !
I do feel like I would like to be able to build farm / or things like to gain more every day.
Congrat !
Really like the art and theming gave me crown of candy vibes. Was definitely a fun game just the animation for the attack wasn't to obviously and I had issues with getting locked into animations. The blueberry enemies were also a bit too strong creating walls of axes. But overall great job!
I like the theming in this one, and good thing that you are honest and you've put the disclaimer about reusing past submissions up front. Definitely giving kingdom vibes. Great job.
