A great spin on the matching mechanic. I played so many times, and nearly had a full grid of castles! Really nice work. 

I really like looking at the artwork, feels really relaxing, except when I turn on doom mode haha...
Anyway, I enjoyed tinkering and figuring how to play the game, but so far I'm not sure if there's a win state... Is there?

That was a really fun game! Seriously impressed that you guys managed to do it in such a short amount of time. I love the gameplay itself (and it definitely fits the game jam theme, since everything you do is connected; tiles upgrade based on what they're connected to). The art style is amazing, I love it. After reading some of the other reviews I discovered Doom Mode, and I couldn't stop laughing. 100% the best way to play the game!

You guys have a bright future ahead of you - if you could make this in such a short time, I'm excited to see what you guys will make in the future. Very impressive!

On a side note: I love that you guys also gave special thanks to the people involved in the description as well. It's a small thing, but very sweet. Someone being your rubber duck goes a long way, after all!

Beautiful artwork and I really liked the feel of the game. The sound and animations really made placing the tiles feel interesting. I had a good laugh at the "doom mode" which I especially liked 😆. Awesome work!

Incredible art!

Fantastic game!  One of the best I've seen so far in this jam.  Was originally drawn to it by the art style and because it looked similar to "Into the Breach," but it's more reminiscent of those Connect-3 type games.  Everything about this is awesome from the art style, to the title screen, to the sound design.  Everything works smoothly and without bugs.  About the only thing I could ask for is maybe more clarity as to the building types, and possibly a type that will also remove corruption to add elements of strategy for extended play.

Otherwise, hats off to the devs.  Good luck in the competition.  I'd be surprised if this game doesn't place.

This has probably been asked, but what caused the green-roofed houses to appear rather than red roofed?

Really impressive polish on your game. Really simple and straightforward 2048 mechanic that works great with the sort of dorfromantik thing going on. Great job!

Amazing polish. However, I didn't really understand the mechanics as to why certain houses are different, aside from building it next to mountains and water. My experience ended up being just clicking random squares and getting messed up by the things I think are RNG, which is quite frustrating. Again, I do not know if the houses are supposed to appear with random types, but if it wasn't, or was more clear, I would enjoy it a lot more. Aside from that, visuals, music, audio feedbacks are amazing. 

That was cool! Like others, it reminded me of playing 2048, but I found that I could never get past the yellow castle. I also wasn't totally sure why certain squares were appearing instead of the traditional red roof houses. I know the nearby elements allowed you to change houses, but couldn't quite figure the other types. Very fun game though overall! And a clean experience. Good job!

Took me a minute to realize there is no victory state, but dang did I have fun coming to that realization. Doom Mode toggle has to be the best toggle I’ve ever seen in a game. Thanks for this

Beautifully done with respect to EVERY category I cant think of. Reminds me of the 2048 game.

If there's one thing I could recommend changing, it's to make the map bigger so you can play more/for longer. Other than that, great game! I especially love the unique play/settings buttons when you first load the game, and the UI in general looks great! A+

Really awesome game, nice calm music in normal mode, the doom music is better tho, haha. I think this game could be a nice full fledged game.

This game is really really cool, the art especially. The attention to detail and polish is incredible. The gameplay itself is really fun and easy to grasp, with incredible music thrown on top I loved it.

My favourite thing was the heavy metal music with doom mode lol Although the red tint made it extremely hard to see and unplayable in that mode.. shame as I LOVE heavy metal and the implementation of it alone was so funny and awesome!

I really liked the main menu too. You did a great job with this game :)

amazing art! this was a very polished experience 

Really loved the art, the music reminds me of Lord of the Rings. Made me feel like I was back at home in the Shire. Thank you for that, my friend. Farewell.

So much about this game is so polished. From the art, music, gameplay, even to it's banner. It's very enjoyable, there's things to learn as you go and you can play it again and again too. Overall for me, one of the best games submitted at this jam. 

The game design wasn't the greatest all in all but the art style was amazing. I wish I had more to say about this one as it was the prettiest game I've played so far

the visual art and sound design in this game are excellent, the pixel art takes full advantage of the charms of the medium while having a great amount of detail. I found the gameplay Interesting but simple, the corruption was good but I would have preferred some more complex decision making. the game was very relaxing until I turned on doom mode, nice touch with the game options.

This game was great, I also took this style of village building game. Yours had a lot of what mine was missing. great art, smoother mechanics, and better balancing. Great job.
