really fun game idea! i like the little sheep i felt so bad about having to kill theeem! The music accelerates everytime i reran the game after losing, but other than that it ran smoothly and i thought the graphics were very crisp. Great job :)

Cool! The game feels very complete. The tutorial text at the start seemed a bit blurry and was hard to read, but the game itself is fantastic!
Really like the vibe! Great game especially considering your time constraint! The animations are well made! it was interesting discovering the wokrers clump together and that you can carry the resources yourself sort of. Ah and the kings orders grr :P
Managed to do 12 days :smile: Nice little game idea. Good work.
I'm a bit too fond of this game—maybe it's my love for management-style challenges. The game design is excellent, and the game itself is incredibly well-rounded. Nice Job!

Nicely done! The tutorial was a bit longer than I'd like but fine for a jam game. I didn't find the gameplay super engaging past the first couple days since there was never a need to rearrange my workers or make interesting decisions. The art is beautiful and mechanically the bones are solid. Nice work!

Cute and simple, wish there was a bit more use to the gold and wood, but very nice
This feels like a great foundation! The art and music are also incorporated nicely and provide a good mood. It's nice to set the workers to work.
I wish there were more upgrades to buy and things to build.
@schu @nomus @silas-reinagel thanks for the feedback. Would love to have added more upgrades! Thats the drawback of starting 9 hours before the deadline! Post jam version going to much more playable
@dannyk1994 Wow! That's very impressive for starting at T-Minus-9, and working solo!

It was fun to manage the workers, and the game has a nice atmosphere.
The only small bug I experienced was the sheep spawning somewhere inaccessible (possibly under the scrolls at the top).
But overall the visuals looked good, the music was nice, and everything worked very smoothly.

Good job! you should add more stuff for the player to do.

Fun game! The tutorial was a bit much to take in all at once though
Fun game, but the balance gets really tough later on 😅

Great game, very addictive and fun. Towards the end, the balance seems a bit off, it gets really challenging.
Cute graphics, the only thing I would add would be some visual feedback when you perform actions, there was some auditory feedback but it would add to the juiciness, but the core game loop is very neat and well done!
I really enjoyed this game. :) In my first try I missed the new task (day 2), so I collected to few golds ^^'
I think its a great start to a game but needs some more mechanics.
Good implementation of the game jam theme. A strategy-like game where you send people and gather resources. It reminds me of VOLCARIS: Ashen Secrets. Thumbs up for that.
I’d like to see an animation when upgrades are applied so it’s clear something changed. At first I didn’t even realize anything had improved. A sound cue would work too. As for audio, I don’t think the music fits. Though the overall tone is jokey, so that’s probably why you chose it. And yes, the flexing trees are great.
