tried the first 2 levels. In my opinion object animations are really smooth, music is pretty good, sound effects too. Obiously it is a tiny game, but I do see some room for improvement : UI text font is way too little, I have to concentrate in order to understand the words when in the settings menu; as mentioned in the game description by yourself, default controls are pretty bad; finally, the player can walk on emptiness (at least at some locations on level 2), but still fall on others. Overall the game could be very nice at its level, but it does need some work. Very good job anyways :)

Discovered this game randomly this evening, thoughts (after two hours of playtime) ; version : update 15/03/21
+++ (!! for people discovering the game this comment may contain spoilers)
-love the retro style
-game is clear and runs smoothly
-animations, graphics/textures and objects/units simple but very nice to look at
-no sound effects or music (coming later i suppose)
-simple gameplay, addictive by the research of better equipment (and mystery behind unknown gear)/ change of class (don't really know what you mean by 'class' and what it modifies; can it transform you from a close-combat unit into a range unit for ex? - nice mecanic)
-each different kingdom/island has its own style
-relatively large variety of units overall (nice), a few per faction it seems
ideas/adds
-when equipping gear in the inventory it automatically closes it, I found it annoying when I forgot to drop something or want to check stats. Maybe you can make one hotkey which equips selected gear and closes inventory, and another one/button which equips without closing inv.
-as aivct said, the add of a physical mount and/or a place for mount(s) in the inventory would be very nice
-more mounts; >>speed
-little clouds in the sky/ wind on grass, trees (at this point everything is a bit frozen)
-possibility to find and recruit mercenaries
-possibility to increase inventory size
-multiplayer in the future?
-many more ideas but i think this is enough
To conclude on this early version, i really like the project as simple as it is but can't wait to discover new features if you decide to put more time in this game. Thank you for sharing your work! great job and good luck ! :)
