Cat in a fishbowl! But overall nice fast paced and visually appealing game!
The mechanics of filling up the pot with money and putting down new rooms was fun. I liked the medieval style that you were going for in the pixel art and music. I'm not sure what the best thing to do with the pot is. I just took it everywhere with me. Cool concept for a score attack game :)
Took a second get the hang of it but its pretty fun! how many rooms are there and can you win?

Nice cat jumpscare but also fun game.]
Love the art consistency and the dramatic music. I found the game quite unforgiving, as soon as the ghosts touch the pot you lose with no delay whatsoever.
That was a lot of fun! I like how there was always something to do, collect some gold, place some guards, buy new rooms, heal up. There wasn't really a good reason not to have the pot right next to the door, as far as I could tell, but that was okay. I love that the game automatically becomes more difficult as you buy more rooms, as there is more to manage. I managed to collect 57 gold with 9 rooms. Great job!
Tutorial is a bit confusing, but i think i got the hang of it. Either the progression is to slow for the movespeed or the movespeed is to high :D Overall good game, make more.
Too noble to defend myself. Liked that =)
@electric-sun Thank you! :) Currently there are 11 variations and 5 different types of rooms. The objective is to collect as much gold as possible, so the game can last a substantial amount of time. You can build an infinite amount of rooms! :D
I found the controls real hard to get the hang of, it would be nice to be able to jump with W however it is a really nice entry and definitely got sucked in for a bit into the game.
LOVE THE CAT!!! I kept sliding around like a maniac but got the hang of it eventually, I just kept the knights on the doors :)).
Very cozy game, I liked the graphics and the audio you chose:)
CAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also like the premise of the game. Took a while to understand the interaction between the knight and the ghosts.
Overall I liked the game and thought the pixel art was well done and consistent in style :thumbsup:
Interesting concept. Very helpful tutorial. The gameplay is hectic and chaotic and keeps you on the edge. Good job!
Gameplay was fun ) Good luck!.
Good game, thank you!
This is really cool and has a lot of potential! The premise is HILARIOUS :joy:
I found it a little tougher to play, which is mostly my own skill issues, but it was really jarring when I intended to pick up the pot and the game favored choosing the knight or archer if they were in the immediate vicinity. Maybe another key could be an override to just take the pot?
Really feels smooth as butter otherwise! Gameplay was really easy to pick up on with your tutorial and hard to master! GG y'all!
Nice game, died two times before I get the gameplay loop, but pretty fun once I get the hang of it.
"Hi. Great game. Loved the atmosphere. The pixel art and music really create that medieval vibe.
The pot and ghost mechanic is interesting. Makes you strategically place the gold pot away from potential ghosts.
