The concept is nice. I think it has potential, Had to figure out where to connect what first, but got it on the second try. The UI is polished but I think the gameplay needs more improvement, I earned a lot of gold but I could not figure out how to connect the blacksmith to the shop. Adding the colored dots that resemble connecting shaders in blender editor is intuitive.

Thanks for trying out the game! I definitely need to work on making the connections more intuitive. 2 iron (yellow) from the mine goes into the blacksmith to become weapons (purple) which is then sold in the shop. Peasants can automate the process, and be upgraded to speed things up. It's admittedly not explained due to running out of time. The gold currently has no use, but I want to add a dedicated skill tree after the game jam ends and I clean up the code. Thank you very much for the feedback!
