Love the art and the concept of a time based deck building game! Wish there was music but we can only ask for so much XD

Such cute art! I lost in the third year but had a blast anyway. Very nice!

I liked the game overall! It was a bit cluttered and some of the UI was a little jank but it was fun nevertheless.

great game! the mechanics are explained at any point of the game, which helped me get the hang of this. The gameplay is a challenging and fun with a card game element , each card with its own kill percentage that will affect the area you choose. Overall, I enjoyed playing this one! congratulations! keep it up!

Cute game and I like the deck building part of the game! I think I would prefer to have more cards to play, or perhaps manage the time passing (pass 1 month at a time) by myself.

Like the art for the reaper and the map! Took me a while to realize I can view the population of human/wolf/sheep at different areas, hope there is visual indication for that. (Like placing more wolf icons on the map etc) Interesting idea. Noice job!

Loved this! Nice graphics and fun game. It was a little hard to understand the UI at first, so maybe a slower tutorial could help in a post-jam version :D Nice work!!

Interesting game. I like the artstyle even tho i find it weird that the images change when hovering over the different states. The UI is quite overloaded, i like the effort of putting in the information window, it was still quite... confusing. Maybe making things smaller could help 🤔 Its quite the number crunching game with all those percentages etc. It also took me a while to understand how time is progressing, or that it is and how fast 😅 But its a good and short entry to the jam. Good job 👍

Cool game, i like the idea, but i feel like the player is just flooded with info from the very start, i think mechanics should be slowly introduced, cuz in the begging i was just pressing random stuff cuz i was unsure of what to do, also although i like the artstyle, i really feel the handdrawn map contrasts with the pixel art artwork, they don't that well togheter, separate they would be good, i think you should just choose a single artstyle and go with it for the whole game

fun little game, but agree with @noeloskar ! the UI was really confusing at first, and i had to do a bunch of reading.

i think gradually introducing concepts, or having fewer to start might be easier for a player at first.

overall great job! cute artwork!

The game was a little overwhelming at first and I not a big fan of the mixed artstyles, but the idea is great. Pretty solid for a game jam!

rough getting started but overall a nice game. I like the idea! Had a fun ride even if I always tried to drag the harvest button onto the map 😅 A little bug: the harvest button coldown runs down even when the game is paused

I REALLY liked your artwork. I also like the instructions up front so I knew what all the buttons did. Nice job

Very nice! The art is great and the gameplay is fun :)
