I can see some potential here. Good job :)

Good realisation, works well, nice music, nice graphics.

I liked the introduction a lot, its simple but it puts you right in the game.

Nice clicker game. I liked how you integrated the theme more into the story instead of the mechanics, which makes it feel less gimmicky. Sometimes spam-clicking the inner icons can select an option in an event.

I definitely had fun playing your game! The atmosphere is great and the music fits perfectly. A few things I noticed: - I like the small text messages in the upper box but I felt like I don't have that much time to read them. - Some of the buttons are placed in a way that when you smash them you decide for the second option as soon as a decision is coming up - Options like "lose half of your legions" motivate to have few of them

Overall a nice entry, thumbs up!

Very cool mix up between a clicker and an adventure game, the idea really works, giving you some pause time when events pop up and leave your wrist to rest for a while! Congrats on delivering this.

I like a lot this type of games, reminded me of a Dark Room, great job!

Excellent use of clicker and adventure style mechanics. The variation of events and showing the outcomes was a great move. If I had to change anything it would be to allow the user to select their heir... maybe 1 son is a better fighter, the other a better farmer. Nice work.

It does remind me of the Dark Room, but the storytelling needs some work in my opinion, maybe more visuals and better UI design would have been more interesting. I didn't feel like I had incentive to play.

Neat little clicker game! I wasn't sure what I was doing at first but figured it out quickly enough. Good job!

I like how it added new elements to the clicker game genre, I can see a lot of potential here.

Wow! That was definitely the longest amount of time I've spent on an LD game so far. I love how the city grows in the background. Ascension had a lot more depth to it than I originally thought it would. Great job, dude!

This is a clicker that I actually enjoyed. REALLY loved the music and some tough decisions. Our game came out similarly kind of a text adventure. I really dig it nice work!

Really fun game! The story is very interesting! Bom trabalho! Nois BR!

The idea is interesting, but pacing is a bit weak. At first it seems like nothing is changing for ages and than you get a bunch of new options and suddenly the game is over. Also most of the choices didn't look like they would have much influence. Othersie a solid game. Good work.
