- Youtube Link / Twitch Link
- Graphics : Fine, nice pixel art.
- Esc Menu's pie looks nice.
- Joan's horse's head might be a tad small
- GUI : Mostly fine but the ESC menu has no options menu, meaning no audio or graphical tweaking.
- Wheat's icon goes over the border , could be repositioned or shrunk
- The time left and the Unit cap feels like it's scrunched in the bottom left.
- All of the resources could be nudged up a bit tbf
- Performance : Generally Fine
- Music / Sfx :
- Music : Fine, seems to be one song at night and day, would be nice if there was a variety.
- SFX : Fine
- Gameplay : A Kingdom-like that could really do with some QOL features/upgrades.
- Misc Issues :
- An injured unit in a tower or gatehouse will be targeted by doctors and be unable to heal, leading to any and all doctors that walk near them to try to infinitely heal them.
- Jumping over enemies can lead to you getting somewhat stuck, the jump and collisions with enemies could do with tweaks.
- Picking up and throwing units can look a bit weird. Throwing them at a tower will result in them flying past it then teleporting into it.
- It can be rather fiddly to interact with what you want, sometimes requiring you to go back and forth repeatedly until it highlights the thing you want.
- Sometimes you jump as if you're on the moon, other times not.
- Enemies die with their HP bars not showing empty.
- Some popups can get cut off by half or more if you're close to the edge of the screen.
- Hitting ESC while moving Joan results in the horse movement sfx endlessly playing.
- Notes :
- The cherries are 'centcherrians' but what are the blueberries and pumpkins called?
- I propose "Bluebarian" if it's not decided atm.
- The lack of QOL impacts enjoyment quite a bit. I don't know if it's an attempt to not be a complete 1:1 copy of kingdom but it really feels like it needs a few things. Without a lot of the QOL / Semi-automation that kingdom has, it becomes rather tedious as you're just running back and forth constantly , which can become a problem as your attention is divided.
- Silo to store wheat or other items
- A 'gatherer' that can pick up the various materials strewn about.
- Farmers to automatically harvest the wheat
- More Upgrades for Joan D'Tart (?) , speed, HP, damage, armor (?), more inventory slots
- Doctors feel incredibly powerful, to the point it feels like you wouldn't need any other unit if you get enough of them.
- The moon giving gifts is fine but maybe there should be something indicating what and when it'll do so?
- Units being able to push wheat, dough, etc around tends to be rather annoying as it all gets pushed to the far edges of the map.
- The boss has far too much HP , if it wasn't cheesed nothing really could stop him from just waltzing to your castle.
- Pumpkins are somewhat rare and seem to consistently not drop pumpkin, if they are, it gets pushed off the edges of the screen frequently.
- Wheat + Oven = Dough? Shouldn't it be something else, Quern, millstone, etc?
- There's some background elements that could change up with your progress, [e.g. there's a hill in the background , it could get a farm, or a tower / keep on it eventually as you build walls near it.]
- A way to rally your soldiers would be nice, or keeping them inside the walled region, it's a tad annoying just having an archer waltz outside and proceed to get murdered.
- Upgrades for the HQ would be nice, e.g. there's a tower with a window , maybe we could hire a court wizard to be a powerful turret to defend it?
- Joan's idle animation feels rather sped up, more frames or slowing it down might be good.
- A sprint could be nice as an upgrade.
- An upgrade for Joan to passively Regen hp?
- The HP bars are rather NON-pastry based, maybe something could be done about that?
- Need to hit up for every bit of wheat put into the oven, rather than a hold
- No 'You Win' Screen, or it glitched
- The cherries are 'centcherrians' but what are the blueberries and pumpkins called?
- Final Thoughts : Overall I think this really needs a lot of work to really enjoy, as it is, it's fine but could definitely be better.
