It was nice to think about outcomes of single decisions and how they will change the balance of power. What I was missing was some victory condition (even if it would be something like build 100 floors), because once I build 21st floor, I was not motivated enough to continue and I failed my attempt deliberately to see what happens.

The art style of the game is pretty. I like how you combine 3d with 2d and how you can zoom into the floor and enjoy all those details (and I rather not think of how the hell they get that horse on floor 20 :-D). I like the stylization of pictures on the cards. Subtle bacground music is also nice and calming.

Very good job!

Hey Playful Crow! I appreciate your feedback!! Indeed, right now there is nothing as an "End Game". We wanted to add an extra mechanic but we believe polishing was our first priority (lightweight, optimized & bug-free).  We are into continuing the development and adding more than 1 extra mechanics that will make your decision "harder" and much more impactful (items & abilities).

Sounds good! I wish you that all goes well with the updates. :-)

I like the game! I managed to play until 16 floors hehe, I believe the game can be expanded to be better in terms of choices and actions per day! It would make the game more complex instead of doing one choice per day. But Good job on this simple game for the game jam! I enjoyed it a lot

Thank you! We really wanted to provide the player with more choices during the day, but eventually we decided to keep it simple. We wanted to polish the existing mechanics, in the time we had left, instead of making more with the risk of introducing junkiness. We are glad you enjoyed it!

Cool game! I like the art style a lot the game looks very nice. I think it's fun to balance the 3 factions, tho I don't think I really understood what I was trying to do cuz they all got wise to me and decided to take over. Nice work!

Developer

Hey nickbdawg! Thank you for playing our game! We hope you had a blast :D

interesting concept! maintaining the balance between the three factors is difficult and feels a bit RNG sometimes, but overall the game is pretty well made, specially the art and 3D models!!

Developer

Hey Noob_97XD! Thank you for playing the game and for your feedback! We hope you liked it :D This was our main scope--that you need to understand how the decision will actually influence your kingdom :') We did not wanted to give you exactly the points you would receive nor which faction the decision you made would favor. Other than that, we noted your comment! Thank you again!

A decent game with nice visuals and sound design. Needs more variety / complexity to enhance the gameplay going forward.

Developer

Hey FederalSteak! Thanks for playing the game! Indeed, this is something that we wanted to do, but time was not our ally this time :) Other than that, we noted your feedback. Thank you again!

Hello there, I liked the idea of your game, besides having easy mechanics it could easily be expanded into something more complex. Great work.

Developer

Hey JBJ_3Dart! Thank you for playing the game! We have that in our mind to expand it later in the feature! Hopefully you can try it in our next version and give us a feedback :D

Super cool game, music and art fits. Does need more difficulty. I like the idea of ruling a kingdom and it could be expanded on.

Developer

Hey Theodoom19, thanks for playing the game! It indeed needed something extra. We run out of time so we had to do the polishing ^^. Thank you for your feedback!!

The art style and music choice for this is great. I got to 40 floors before I gave up. For me it needed a more complex resource system or difficulty curve, as I found it easy to keep everything balanced after I got used to how the choices worked.

Developer

Thanks for the playing the game! Yes, we had in our mind to create another mechanic with items that could effect the outcome of some decisions, but we ran out of time.
