Played the whole game. Very relaxing.

I liked it! It really was just a bit of waiting and watching - but I'm sort of a sucker for that type of game ahah! Good entry :)

Waiting and upgrading is a favourite pastime of mine! Great work!

Very peaceful and relaxing mood! Almost like being at a spa with a view :)

Very simple but solid implementation. I did find it a little slow going but I really love these clicker type games and this was well made.

That is a cool game. Had a lot of idle-clicker vibes to it. I really like the graphics, that parallax effect was a nice touch. Great submission!

Very relaxing, a lot of waiting involved. Really like the parallax with the movement of the camera, adds a nice bit of depth. Nice entry!

It's a very relaxing game, and the visual effect was really nice. At the end I was just waiting for the resources to build up the castle, maybe the wait was a bit too much, but I guess it depends how you play it.

Great job!

Great game! The graphics were simple and nice. I think the game would have been a bit better if it was faster. Awesome game and I loved the idea!

Nice! You don't need to explain anything, the objectives a very straightforward. This game could easily grow further!

I wished there was a little more to do though (that thing that everyone calls "relaxing" felt to me a little to much like "idling"). I don't know if it would be fun or not, but maybe having the player harvest the resources that would fall on the ground would be something to keep him interracting with the game.

The visuals are really nice, I think the parallax effect is well done. And the music is a nice touch too!

Good job!

The last castle upgrade took a little too long, at least to me. But I really like the game, the visuals, and the music are relaxing.

Nice idle/clicker. I never felt in danger of running out of water and never had that many choices if I just upgraded whatever was available next. The style all felt nicely done and I liked the 3d effect when moving the mouse. That was a nice addition. The last upgrade did feel like an unnecessary wait since I couldn't upgrade anything else, but I guess that is most clicker games near the end :) My audio had a lot of pops in it that I couldn't tell if it was intentional.

Very moody game. A bit on the easy side, but the chilling atmosphere fits it just nice. It's better to stray a bit on the easy side for LD anyways!

Found a little bug/annoyance, where the well upgrade tooltip is layered behind the castle, cutting the top of the cloud off. It's still readable though.

That music is very good! So simple, but very cosy and fits the bill perfectly.

I like the resource gathering mechanic

slimabob 2021-04-26 20:26

Interesting take on the theme! I love resource gathering games so I had a blast with this one! The artwork is very charming. Good job!

Well designed incremental upgrading game, it never felt too difficult or slow. Would love to see more buildings but overall well done.

Game is relaxing, idea was great with the well. Graphic is nice with paralax effect. (One bug - when building castle, people cost is not taking to account).
