Nice game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Low Rez Jam games, if you would like to take a look :)

Really nicely put together; a complete and well-implemented fun game. The font is, as noted, a little hard to read, and it's sometimes hard to know why you're not allowed to buy a thing -- is it because you haven't bought one of the pre-requisites, or because you don't have enough money, or because you've bought it already -- and that does break the immersion somewhat. Watching a Lord attacking the enemy castle is highly amusing. Nice work!
Very fun! I did have so problems reading the text but I also have bad eyesight so that could be the problem. Anyway, great entry...very clean + lots of polish. Nice work!
Fun game with great music. Unfortunately I ran into few bugs. During my first playthrough money income stopped after I built a wall. During my second playthrough I couldn't build any buildings after archer barracks. I'll be looking forward a patched version. Keep up the good work!
Very fun game! I had the button bug bit still very enjoyable! Solid entry! :D
Very smooth! Nice, clear design with a bit of depth! I quite enjoyed it!
Not bad, man! This isn't exactly my style of gameplay, but I enjoyed it, so I'm positively surprised!
This game design is brilliant. The controls and transitions are very fluid and enjoyable.
Music is nice. Graphics are really nice.
The font was just a little tough to read. There were constrains with 64x64 pixels but perhaps text could have been floating tooltip style offset somewhere else on the screen.
But overall, a beautiful game.
Oh, so much fun! ^^; Except I kept running into glitches. Like, sometimes, when upgrading a barracks, I couldn't spawn soldiers from that or other classes. Or how it would constantly switch between types but never allow me to spawn soldiers or buy things again.
Aside from those glitches, I think this was top notch! ^^;
Oh, wow! Intuitive gameplay, very nice graphics, cool, music. In overall, very polished, the menus and everything. I didn't even realise it's playable with mouse too, because the keyboard controls are really perfect. I liked the small fonts, kinda hard to read sometimes, but it worked in overall and took just a little bit of space which is nice.
Weren't you ask for small font on Twitter? I think you solved it really well.
I like it! The game was engaging for several minutes, I really did want to see what would happen.
The animations are all really cute, and I love the mini map. Great work on that.
I thought the fonts were a little hard on the eyes though: especially in a game where numbers matter so much, I had a hard time getting used to them.
You also worked so hard on getting a pixel perfect look to everything, but I think the transparencies you're using for the impacts, the clouds and the smoke break the look. I really suggest you try just make them opaque. Just own the solids and use your color choices to give the impression of depth instead.
