This looks like an interesting game, but my character keeps getting stuck.

Nice clean graphics and bug free(?) gameplay. I found the game a little easy though. Would be nice to see a post-jam version with other challenges to overcome. Nice work! :)

Really fun. The control for making the routes is a bit tricky. Would be nice if you could just select a character and then draw their route. Now you have to move them and cancel at the right time if you want to redraw and start from somewhere else.

Seems after about level 7 I did not unlock any more buildings.

I don't like the black fade overlay. I would much rather have the tiles on the edges dark than everything being half dark.

Would be cool if you could do longer routes. Maybe they can get tired and slow instead, but can stop by inns to regain speed.

Art is excellent. The ratings is a fun touch.

Overall I really like this game. Has so much potential!

@sharploaded the tired/inns mecanic is a really great idea ! Thanks a lot :smile:

Very fun mechanics, and I like the art. The attention to detail is great, like the reviews.

Really interesting game. I like the mechanics of set, watch and profit Looks really well put together. Great submission!

The game is really fun. The art style is amazing! It is a bit easier, but that just adds to the chill-factor of the game. I enjoyed it a lot! Nice game!

Fun game, once I reached level 7 and optimized the routes I maxed out at pulling in ~60 gold per 4 day tax cycle. Left the game running in the background and got game over on like day 461 with like 95 gold tax, a 4.81 average rating on over 3000 reviews, and level 11 with 20% left to level 12.

Not sure if you were aiming for this to be an idle game but that's kind of how it played out. Set it up in the beginning, let it run, and just check in and make minor adjustments once in a while.

One thing that would have been a nice-to-have would be a list of stats on the game-over screen.

All in all great entry!

@asieke the game definitely needs some improvements and diversification in terms of gameplay, and I wasnt aiming for a idle gameplay even though that's how I play-tested it I hope I will get to this point soon ! :)

I actually managed to get quite a lot of idle automation going. My only complaint is that the vignette around the main area felt unnecessary. check out my live review at https://www.twitch.tv/scalphamission

Graphically this is really cool, Couldn't quite get into the swing of the gameplay. But impressive art for a game jam

as it was said before, this game works pretty well as an idle game. looks pretty good and very easy to understand, I think you balanced it very nicely. great job!

great game! more content in the future would be awesome

aznoqmous 2023-05-02 19:22

@rradu Thanks a lot ! :) Im actually back at it with fresh ideas :v:

Interesting game. I liked the dragging mechanic for the movement. The pixelart is very charming! I also liked the idea of collecting some stuff and making use of it after. The UI was unfortunately very small for me and I was not able to read it. (maybe because of 4K screen, not sure.) I wish there would be some music and sounds. Overall cool entry and enjoyed the gameplay! Screenshot regarding the UI for your reference:

Smooth and unique gameplay, amazing arts, seems clean and bugfree. Also, the approach of the theme is really clever. Such a clean submit ❤️

✔️ I really liked the little animations of the icons. Whenever a delivery was made it felt very rewarding.

✔️ Overall, it was lots of fun trying to find the best routes

➖ Not the biggest fan of the limited path length: sometimes the perfect route would be 1 out of range :(

⭐ Overall: With a few more mechanics, could be a great idle game! Good job!

Really cool concept. The randomness can be a bit unforgiving, i got some really bad first village placement that make me lost quite fast but my other runs where way better. Maybe limiting the first spawn of villages/ressources to some specific location would help mitigate some bad luck. Anyway, I enjoyed playing your game, good job :thumbsup:

zealous-coder 2023-05-03 21:23

I agree with many of the others here. Overall I enjoyed it though, would love to play more with a bit more challenge and sound fx would be great. Also that tutorial in the beginning is mint, I love it.

waysneighborgo2 2023-05-03 22:27

Graphics are nice. There is polish. It's good.

cinterre 2023-05-04 01:02

Cool concept! I think I would liked to be able to draw a path and have the courier move onto it rather than have to cancel it all the time then draw. That might also make it too easy, dunno. Still fun to play though, well done.

I love this game! It's awesome! Everything looks so cute and is animated, I just can't get enough of this! The pixel art is perfect and the customer reviews are fun to read. I enjoyed optimizing the routes and would love to see this becoming a full game one day! :D
