I love it! Easily could be a standalone game. I would love to be able to romance the princess that would be cute.

A really great game! With some more to do this could be a full stand alone game!

The Hero's PrincessOkay on my first playthrough the princess died but on my second I kept it going a good long while.
I love it.
Enjoyment: It is really fun and the dialogue is great. I like that buying gifts makes you have to take care of your gold. I think it creates a nice bit of stress because you dont want the princess to die so you end up really trying to time things. As far as the knights coming, I wish there was a bit more of a conclusion to the arcs. They often came back with the same statements, however i understand that this is a 48 hour jam and what is here is really polished. I found that for me a big part of the enjoyment was the visuals but thats presentation so I will jump over to talking about that now.
Presentation: The game looks beautiful, and the art style is super cute. I found the princess animations to be genuinely charming and enjoyable and I was very excited when she asked for an item I had not seen her reaction to yet. The interactions with the knights were also funny because of the animations. I think the game hit the right balance of simple both in design and animation, while also have a great deal of expressiveness. The music and sounds were also really good and never got tiring. The sound made when you are low on gold pride was very effective in emphasizing the situation.
I had a blast with this one, my feedback is that I wish there was more, and honestly thats a good thing. Please keep expanding on this.

Bad BowlingAbsolutely adorable, loved every part of it, I could really feel the nostalgia of ye old days of Tamagotchi. The amazing art style combined with really fun sfx and simple yet really well executed gameplay made this into one of the best this jam has to offer, really great job!
Also, side note, I felt like I KNEW this art style, and after seeing LuxxArt in the authors my assumptions were confirmed. It feels weird to randomly stumble onto a twitter artist I know on a game jam

IncorporealA absolutely love this game, It's so cute all the art and music is amazing. I love how the music changes when the gold pile meter is low, and becomes chill again when you have been on it long enough. The interactions between the different characters are really interesting, and overall the game just feels super polish. Amazing job on this game!

The Knight & The WitchI BURSTED into laughter after reading the kid’s counter “argument” for the insult “Maidenless”.

SHUT UP! I'm painting 😡The D.A., the design and the drawings are super beautiful and fit in well with the spirit of the game.
It's quite original to be on the dragon's side and have to deal with heroes and such!
A really great game :D

N-NPC Inc.This is the type of game I really enjoy a lot so my threshold of what is good or not is too high. But you guys nailed it whether it's the art, music, or story. And the dragon blushing killed me. HAHAHHA. Dropped you guys a follow to be updated with your next release. Keep it up!

Wordle WorkerThe game looks and sounds gorgeous! Well done :)
I do have dyslexia, so I read a bit slow. I want to read all the funny dialogue, but I have constant timers running down my neck which gives me stress about my gold!
Loved it regardless :)

Lootbox Inc.The presentation is top notch, no doubt about that. I just wish the gameplay was a bit more engaging.
That's strange to say, since it's a visual novel point and click pet sim game sort of, but the Pride mechanic means after my first loss I started skipping dialogue and optimizing, which is not something I expected a story game to do. After playing for 10 minutes nothing changed, even if I tried different responses to the heroes and I lost patience.
It's a cute game though and the personality has been conveyed perfectly!
