I really enjoyed this idle game. I thought that the art style was cozy and fun, and I enjoyed the main music loop, though it might be stuck in my head now for a bit. I also really liked the touch of having little unlock pop-ups at the start as new options became available.

Two notes I had:

1. Receiving the store before the farm unlock was a little confusing as a player. I had a store placed down that went to full on its bar, which I only later realized meant that it had no food to sell. Luckily, I figured that out pretty quickly, but it was confusing at first.

2. The prices in bottom right of the unbought blocks were sometimes cut off by buildings I already owned. You might want to adjust the price placement to the top left corner to avoid the prices being cutoff visually.

Overall, I really enjoyed playing your game! I got pretty far and built 4 castles, but I was ready to keep going down the whole progression of iron upgrades. I might come back to this later to satisfy my brain itch for progress. Thanks for making such a cool game!

Developer

Thanks so much for playing!

I appreciate the feedback on unlock order :) It's something I definitely didn't get quite right, playtesting it became quite finicky haha. I'll keep this in mind for future updates, really grateful!

Fun idle game! I like the concept of an idle city builder and I think you executed it well with the different buildings and resources and buildings needing proximity to each other. It was a bit slow to start, but leaving it on my 2nd monitor and checking in every once in a while lead to a big city with all the upgrades lol. Great work!

Developer

Thanks so much for playing! 😊

I liked the setup, and idea of an idle city builder however especially in early game I wanted more to do while I waited for more money. Maybe if you had the characters move around, or there were things to click on to interact with  that could have helped pass the time more.  The controls were easy to use and it was clear how to play which is awesome!

Developer

In the early game, you can click on the castle to massively speed it up/pass the time faster. I probably could have made this more obvious though for sure. Thanks so much for playing!

Nice and polished game very well made for a week! its a little slow to start and i would have liked to see more later use for food but i had a very good time!

Developer

Thanks! Yeah these are things I definitely theorised and had ideas for, but sadly not enough time to implement. Maybe if I revisit the project in the future! Thanks for playing :)

Nice work!  Really ambitious for the scope of the jam.  You could definitely take it further I think.

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for playing! I definitely plan to do more with this/turn it in to a fully fledged idle game, once voting is over and I can continue making updates :)

Submitted(+1)

Wow, very polished! Fun little cozy world building game. You could expand this out into a much larger game :)

Great work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much! :)

Nice game! I loved the chip tune soundtrack, it gave the game a very jolly feel. One issue I faced due to having an apple magic mouse was that when I was trying to click on the castle to gain money my mouse kept scrolling me in and out. Quite a niche issue but I thought I'd mention it for you!

Developer

Oh that's a super interesting quirk! Definitely something to be aware of, thanks! Glad you enjoyed the game otherwise! :)

Played a bit and it’s rly well made, music and art are nice too Only didn’t play more because I left the page to do sth, reloaded it and for some reason I can’t click the first locked land tile now after starting the game so I can’t buy it, but very nice chill game

Developer(+1)

Oh how interesting. When you say "left the page" do you just mean changing to a different tab? I'll try to reproduce it and get a fix after the jam is done. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Not just changing tab, I probably clicked on the link to the game’s submission page and then opened the game again. But I just tried it again and it seems to be working now. Idk maybe it’s just something with my browser

Nice game, felt a bit slow, maybe a speed up button would help. Great job! 

Developer

Thanks for playing!

If you want a boost to get past the early game, try using the Konami code! ;)

Really fun game!

Nice little cosy game n.n Easy to follow, very addictive! Hope to see the game grow in the future :D

Developer

Thanks so much! Once voting is over and I can go back to making updates, I may work on it a little further :)

Adding Game Save was a genius! 

Love how the game constant and easy to pick and play, It's not complicated to understand which is nice.

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it! And yeah I figured since it's the kind of game people may want to come back to, a save feature was helpful! :)

Nice, but a little too slow in my opinion

Developer(+2)

Yeah that's reasonable, idle games can feel that way. Thanks for playing! :)

Very cool city builder thrown together in a week! Good level of polish a play time. Great job! 

Developer

Thanks so much for playing! :)

Fun game, I wish there was a way to speed up time since it's a jam game, hard to judge fairly since it's an idle game

Developer

Try using the Konami code! 😉

Thanks for playing!

A unique and fun twist on an idle game!
The audio was cute but a bit loud for me. Would have loved volume sliders rather than just a button to turn it off!

Kingdom/city management is one of my favorite genres, I had a lot of fun playing your game!

The mechanics work well and the tile behavior is easy to understand.

After about 20 minutes of playing I decided to stop to try other games, but I plan to come back to go further in my kingdom!

Congratulations on your entry!

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much for playing! :)

A solid, nice, chill game! Some of the assets, especially UI, were a bit blurry, but aside from that, it's fun and relaxing. I can see myself playing this for a while!

Developer(+1)

Yeah unfortunately I had some scaling issues with my font, and not enough time to prioritise fixing it. I'm glad you otherwise enjoyed the game, thanks for playing!! :)
