Love the idea of wanting to become a beaver - so far the most unique story concept. Neat method of resource gathering as well, certainly the base of a really fun game here. Well done.

A neat little "clicker" game. It might be better if there was some punishment for sending people to the town. Because then you can just spam everyone there till you have maxed it out and then spam the rest of the areas...
The game is fairly easy to understand and the graphics help with that.
Love the story, it really touched me!

Nice going with the clicker type theme. Not very intuitive when you start out. Good job.

nice concept.

I like the story idea. :)
A little too easy, but adjust diffculty is always a challenge in making games.

Apart from that, I didn't really understand the 1,5 Go memory use, but I guess this is not easy to find the reason why...

I won! Could have used a little more challenge but I enjoyed playing all the same. Gentle and entertaining. Also, I fulfilled a secret personal desire to be a beaver!

Found a bug
A potion had the option to give to a villager, I clicked the button and nothing happened. Now I can't click anything else

I'm a beaver! Hurray! ... Ehm, okay :) Anyway, I guess this game could do with a bit more challenge. It's just a matter of waiting and clicking the right buttons. The UI could be a bit more streamlined, e.g. a single larger button to toggle between map and brewing, or put both on one screen; and selecting a minion to give a potion shouldn't require another "Validate!" click. Stuff like that :) Oh, I like the music, simple but effective!

beat the game! I think it was pretty straight forward, I didn't really feel I need to use the potions to go faster. I did use the king's potion, which caused minions to keep joining so that they went off the screen (I suspect maybe causing the game to use up a whole lot of memory as minions keep joining). But after that, supplies were pretty easy to get and it was just making the right pots.

Cool game. Surprised me and I enjoyed it.

A fun idle clicker game which with a bit of polish could be something great. Unfortunately I got stuck on the "give potion" screen quite early on, and no amount of clicking on any of the buttons would get me out. I still enjoyed my time playing, even if it wasn't always clear what I was supposed to be doing. Good work! :)
