Feeling pretty good about making it to the second winter, but alas, my subjects perished due to a winter famine 😭. The stick figure animations are cute and the ❤️ censor got me to smile. good job. I hope you get more time to try other tools you mentioned wanting to 😸

hilarious.. i had a trouble keeping track of the different metrics which maybe is a good challenge, but i feel like some progress bars would have been quicker to read. Overall interesting entry!

2023-10-03 14.03.52.jpg This was fun and shows how easy we can shift our mind in the role of king. Killing people, grabbing all resources and f-king everyone. Even the plague is not a danger for him. But sooner or later even kings dying..

Vibe and mood of the game is really great! Main mechanics also on top level. Great job!

My kingdom was doing alright. Then winter came.

Brutally fun in it's twisted way. Made me quite wordless. A great simulation of being a king

Behind the silly appearances, a there is a deep gameplay. So deep, you probably would never forget about getting there...

It's weird that this game gives you this guilty pleasure satisfaction. Gameplay-wise, it's quite cryptic, but after a couple of runs you just "get it" (if you don't drop the game at this point, that is).

I played it with my friend and we laughed our asses off. Well done. xD We found a cool strat that carried us through ~8 years & 3 months.

The plague mechanics is unclear though. We couldn't figure out whether it correlates with anything or not.

But anyway, this game gave us some good time. Thank you. :3

Really fun game, i dont think i would have played it so long if not for funny animations and good music. I love playing as tyrannical king who does wtf he wants. Mechanically harvesting your own food is good but it kinda ruined my fun, why do i need stop f*** and killing to collect some crops myself, aren't my children for that.

I had fun as a king until everyone died. I like the push pull of growing and culling the population while the harvest adds a frantic element to it all. Great entry!

Nice cat! Also oh the slaughter!

first time i thought they died of hunger because I was too busy having sx, but then I dedicated myself to farming and they still died of hunger, so I realized I probably HAVE to murder them in cold blood to keep their numbers lower and I didn't really want to do that ^^" coughing sound/music was funny and the game is wacky. I am not violent enough for it though ;_;

People shouldn't make that sound if they're not actively ill 🤢 Very funny, though, good job!

haha very funny game, I liked the "art style" and it is quite well balanced, as most people, the first time my population died, because the king was just making love, then I tried to only kill, they still starved, then I realized I would need to crop as well... haha overall quite funny! congrats!

Neat concept. Things can get overcrowded really quick. Maybe delay the babies for 9 months. 😄

Very unusual and addictive in a way. Learning how to survive the winter was tough but eventually I figured out a strategy. Malthus would be proud. Good game.
