Right on, fits the theme to a T and is generally relaxing. True art as well, accommodated highly in my rating given.

Gives me a lot of nostalgia. Well thought out game! You thinking of going the extra mile with this or is this exclusively for LD?

I think im going to add a roadmap this coming week, to add more monsters, biomes, and events!

Good little game, pacing does feel a bit slow (cooldown for magic rage too long for its effect, progression is a bit slow), but does have its charm. Game can benefits a lot with a bit more explanation/hints, but understandable knowing the context of the jam. Definitely can be very fun with more time worked on it.

Feels like the flash game vibes, draws are so original and fitting.

It lacks some sounds when fighting and some explanations for the castle but really good and fun.

I had to stop myself because i have other games to review or else i would have played for a long time.

Made me smile playing it, lots of fun.

Awesome, your game is magnificent! I had a blast playing it, really cool stuff

A very fun game, though in my opinion it’s a bit overloaded; the graphics have a great vibe.

Progression is quite slow, but the core gameplay loop is pretty fun. It would be nice if there were some sort of automation for getting grain to the fiefs because it can be a bit annoying to walk back and forth just delivering grain.

Very fun game, this can easily become a full game after the jam. Maybe new upgrades after each level? or new things to buy? Regardless, I really enjoy this game!

The art had me laughing for so long, it’s really unique and hilarious! Fun game too! I’d just add a few more sound effects, everything else is great

An abstract and amusing game that frequently makes me burst out laughing; it also features a management system that I’ve really enjoyed engaging with.

Surprisingly deep! The art is very endearing and charming :) Is the map procedurally generate? It took me a while to find a farm initially, had to travel quite far to find one to be able to advance further. Maybe could guarantee one near the castle. Great job!

Fun and relaxing game. A bit too relaxing. Perfect music choice btw.

Progression is a bit slow, but also quite fun :D

Surprisingly complex for a jam game. It's pretty fun. But I think the Audio may be bugged. I think that I'm hearing other sfx in the game but they are way too quiet compared to the music.

Very enjoyable gameplay: it is intuitive and doesn’t require a long time to get into. Very relaxing:)

Goblins outside, taxes piling up, and not a single gold coin to my name. Being a lord isn’t what I was promised. I like the mix of monster fighting and managing your estates, and the MS Paint art gives it a scrappy charm.

5 stars for art =)

It has a retro feel, but it's super addictive and fun. I got totally hooked!
