This game is great! I like the atmosphere! The music is great, the art is awesome... I just don't know how to refill... so I can't play much because of that. D:

Great work on the art, it looks great!

This game is gorgeous but I have no clue what I'm supposed to be doing. I really want to be able to play this!

Thanks for the feedback, the goal of the game is to make your village evolve by improving the buildings and creating new units. At night you can spend souls to buy neighboring villages. At regular intervals returned to your castle to have new souls to spend

Thanks for the help! I'm still struggling to avoid suddenly dying to humans since they show up out of nowhere and gank me once it's morning. An updated version with a tutorial and more in-game information about enemy attacks after the jam is done would be fantastic. There's a really solid game here and the atmosphere created by the art is incredible.  Really great job!

Wow, this game looks beautiful but it needs a tutorial / intro scenario to teach the game because I cannot figure it out. I'd love to actually be able to play it :(

This game is probably one of the most beautiful games on this game jam, but I don't know what i have to do...

Beautiful game, but also pretty unintuitive. I had problems figuring things out, and after a while I think I was unable to progress.

A stunning game presentation wise. Very fitting sprites and music.

I could not figure out how to regnerate the currency after I spent it on some buildings. After that the game didn't seem to progress anymore. An introduction (if not in game, because that stuff takes a lot of time) on the page would have been helpful.

I noticed some minor things.

  • The reflection in the water is not properly synced. The more the character goes left the more the reflection in the water lacks behind. Maybe you changed the scaling of the render texture and have not compensated?
  • I noticed some flickering of assets at the left side of the map.
