This is actually fun and simple. I would continue developing it. I believe it lacks these:

1. Rational pricing; Prices look like completely random. The prices should be determined by the type of the town. For example, a town producing tools may pay more for iron. This is a must.
2. QoL&UI; Obviously, this is a demo level game jam prototype, so It naturally lacks QoL. Some reminders about supply, warnings, better selling/buying controls etc. Faster traveling..
3. Procedural generated map; Currently it's a repeating pattern with randomized town types and names. It could be much better with procedurally generated roads that sometimes end up with dead ends etc.
4. Events; Sometimes I get events, usually in Dark Forest etc. It would be a great tool to learn about what town to come, what road to follow, what good type will be useful. Generically. For example, if I encounter with a trader in Dark Forest, it may say "Hey, you are a trader too? I'm going to X to sell Y and Z, they pay a lot for those."

I hate this game

I wish if it was possible to skip the intro. The game is all polished and fun!!

If it's not winner of the jam, it's winner of my heart! Great game

Restarting the game is recommended in case of bugs. If possible, restart the game before every run. The game is still under development, so there may be bugs. Also, please report bugs if you played the game.

The game looks nice! I loved the smoothness of the art.

My two cents are:
* The player character is too slow. I often need to go straight away from the enemies so they don't catch me, which limits my gameplay.
* Picking up XP crystals is hard. Pickup range can be higher.

It's a fun prototype! My critiques are:
1- The game is not comfortable for non-patient players. It would be a good QoL feature to have a "skip animations/effects" option, for animations such as the wavy animation the map does on end of the round.

2- The main game loop and the game itself is good, though not hard. Since it's a prototype, I don't think difficulty should be expected, though I still wanna drop this as a critique.


And a question&suggestion here: Do the upgrades I place on buildings such as Barracks or Blacksmith apply on all the soldiers, or only on the ones produced locally? I would suggest you to make them only apply on locals, because it'll add a massive strategy factor in that way(Combining bonuses etc).
