Nice idea! I included it in my GameDevNetwork: Gooseberry Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Developer

Great video! thanks for playing my game in your video! :)

Some criticism:

  1. It is not clear how to kill someone without being noticed. I didn't manage to do it even once.
  2. Move to cancel-poisoning only works with WASD keys. Moving with arrows doesn't cancel. 
  3. Dialog boxes obscure the most important area where you need to look for villagers.
Developer

Thanks for your feedback!

@1: In order to kill the villagers you need to first poison their water and food supplies. Each village has one water and one food supply. Then, the villagers who live there will be infected. (You can always see the number of infected villagers in the top right corner.) Using your ultimate ability, you can then kill the infected (not the healthy ones). Your ultimate ability takes some time to cast - so make sure that you are in an area where no farmers will discover you. They discover you when you are casting, and are in a certain (quite short) range of your character.

@2: Whoops, thanks, that's a bug. Obviously I only tested it using WASD ;-)

@3: Yeah, thanks for the input, maybe I'll redesign the dialogue boxes in a future version to be on the bottom of the screen (or somewhere else, where they are not in the way).

I really enjoyed playing it but when the population was 15 it was really hard to poison there cus they were moving all around. Overall the game was pretty good. Good Job!

thanks for your feedback,  and for playing...glad you liked it! some of the farms were intended to be harder, but maybe it needs some further balancing :-)

i realy liked your idea here. im not sure what else you can add to up the fun of the whole thing it was a little slow, i also wasnt sure how to not be caught by the other farmers so it could use a bit more of an explanation in the beginning. other than that good job my friend!!

Developer

Thanks for your review, and for playing my game! Yeah, there are only a few spots where the farmers won't get you - especially when you cast your killing spell. But you can cancel it anytime by walking (with WASD) and try it again on a different spot. That might not be as obvious as it seemed to me. I'll add some more explanations in future versions.

i actually didn't know that i could move to cancel, that is pretty obvious actually im not sure why i didn't try that... ill have to try again
