That was very cute. I like the little villagers moving back and forth. I think it fit the theme quite well!
I had a little difficulty understanding how to gain more villagers or predict the merchant events, And it took me a second to realize that you need to click on the handles to move the villagers, not the ends of the tool. I did get surprised a few times when the arrow's weren't working when I felt I had the resources, too. But, still quite enjoyable!
