Very nice game and idea!
really nice idea for the theme. enjoyed the clicker feel to it and overall was a great submission.
It was fun to figure out how to succeed. UI communication is nice and clear.
It was fun to ensure everything is running at peek efficency!
Love it. Furious clicking ensued!
This made me think of my last visit to the dentist. Fun graphics, pure stress, I like it!
Great little game. I had fun learning where to click through discovery, without being confused or frustrated. Nice, simple narrative and a few endings that were possible to work out from the clues you drop in. Stylistically coherent for the most part, but I would have liked the music to be a little more medieval. Well done!
Great game - really well balanced as you are constantly doing something, awesome work!
Really nice game, I eventually found all 3 endings :) I particularly like the ghosty guy sprite, but the pixel art was great overall
Little easy and fun game. I got all the endings, but in reverse order :laughing: Good job!
real nice game man! I wish it was more hard so you get to micro manage....
and the way you handled the tutorial is genius! hiding parts of the game so the player won't be overwhelmed. noticed!
edit: also I got all endings
I really liked this. Short but polished!
@codeforjoycaro I'm always worried about my UI. Happy to know it works ^^ @farbeyond-studio I see where this is coming from, now that you mentioned the dentist xD @samuel-hollywood-summers Happy it was enjoyable to figure out. The music is actually me experimenting with soundfonts for the first time and my library of those is still limited. I agree about the tone, the game's setting is medieval after all =) @wheybags I'm not the greatest pixel artist but I've come a long way. Happy to know I'm making progress on that :D @abdurrahman-khallouf I'm always trying not to make tutorials in a way that I myself wouldn't like to see/play. Focusing the player's attention is a powerful tool! I do see that my jam games tend to be more on the easy side, that's something I will work on in the future ^^
@ all of you: Thank you for playing, rating and giving feedback! <3
Loved the animation! Solid (gold) entry!
In my top top top games that i've played! It doesnt hurt that i'm a goldsmith in real life. Love it
I love the art! Style is wonderful and I really dig the smear frames. SFX work really well too.
I enjoyed the art style and basic game-play loop. This is clearly a great jam game, but if you were to expand on this, I would add more mechanics.
Excellent job! My only criticism is that it's not clear to the player where to click to move/do things, but once I knew everything it was smooth sailing and I had a ton of fun. The multiple endings aspect was an awesome way to get me back in to play more! You should be super proud of yourself!
Charming visuals! It took some doing but figured out all the endings.
Really nice job! Thanks for bringing it by the stream (as always)!
Hey, thanks for making the game! I'm really sorry I couldn't get to play it on stream, having some issues with my PC right now, but the game is a really cool idea. Couldn't reach the secret ending but the art and the mechanics make it for a simple but simple and nice looking game :)
Super nice game, i had to see all the endings :D
You can tell a lot of work went into this! Love the graphics and the endings. The sound fits perfectly as well. Great job!
Awesome game!! I loved the graphics, they were charming and fitting. The way each task revealed itself was a masterful lesson in "show don't tell". I liked how compact the game was and how the player always had something to do. Balancing tasks are one of my favorite genres to play. Great work!!
Hey there! The graphics really stuck out in this game. I think your concept was interesting and it was totally fun to play. The audio was super nice too. The only thing I can think of to make this awesome game even better, is to possibly let the player hold the mouse down to do the work, but as im writing this I'm realizing that might take away some of the fun from the game. Either way I thought this game was great and im looking forward to unlocking all the endings. Nice Work!
A great little micro management Jam game. The pixel art and animations were great. It was simple to play (Click click click) and enjoy. Loved that you adding in 3 endings, and kept the game restarting for the player to have a chance to complete them. Nicely done. I would love to see a few more levels put in there to see what you come up with for more mechanics in harmony like this level. /Cheers to a great Jam game!
Love it! Great graphics and a simple, satisfying mechanic that was well communicated to the player. Only suggestions I can really offer is perhaps making it a tad clearer what the maximum ore amounts in the cart are (I caught on pretty quick, more a quality of life thing) and more fidelity in the sound effects. Great job!
A very nice game! An old-fashioned co-op (alone). Making 3 different endings was a great idea to make the player play more often. Simplicity is the soul of this game and makes it so unique.
Congratulations!
What a cute game! I loved the music and graphics, and even though it took me a moment to figure out how to make gold the tutorial helped set me back on course (how each section is revealed is a really nice touch), and I liked having to manage all the workers to make gold. Really good job!
Damn boiiiiiiii, you did a really awesome job in the presentation and pixel art! I love that you have different endings. It did take me a bit of time to figure out how to do use the coal guy to stoke the flames because everyone else had 1 job, ya know? But in retrospect it was kind of obvious haha. Great work, bud!
The UI was very intuitive even without any text prompts. After clicking around a bit I already knew what I had to do. The gameplay is kinda repetitive but the game is short enough for it not to be a problem. Overall nice entry
Thanks for bringing your game by my stream to check out! If you'd like to rewatch you can catch the highlight at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/617113689
I really enjoyed this one. Put me in mind of what I loved about Grow.
