Really good, found another error at the end when both castle are at 100%. Love the graphics, found the gameplay funny, even if my english isn't really good so at the end i was just using random word.

The art of this game is amazing! The intro look hilarious and the animations of the gameplay look so smooth. For me the game worked just fine but I was a bit confused on what the end goal was and how to achieve this?

This game is very well done! I love the little details in the background to indicate incoming pigeons and attacks. The art and music is top notch, as always. At one point, fresh letters to pick words from stopped coming in, is there a max amount of letters? And as a programmer I have to ask: how did you determine the rudeness of the new letters? Were the words weighted? Or was there some LLM API in the background? Or something else? I'd really like a technical explaination, like you did [here](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/58/cut-to-pieces/cut-to-pieces-post-mortem)

Btw, congratz on releasing cut to pieces to steam! ❀️

They truly don't make robot pigeons the same way they used to! XD What a fun little game! The only thing that gave me trouble was that I didn't know when I had enough wood for paper since it just looped back to zero.

Thanks for your comments and bug reports! All bugs should be fixed by now, perhaps you would like to give it another try? @isline @daner @zectalier @mailsbert

I completed the game and found it very fun.

I especially loved reading the letters composed by kings. It's great that the game allows the player to be creative with combining words from different letters, but it's difficult to measure creativity of insults... I tried just writing all leftover words without much thought or grammar and it annoyed them just as well as my clever insults.

I was shooting piegon the whole time and just realize later I can letem know "your uncle ugly" lol. Its very funny and I ends up get all of them pissed haha. Nice one!

Five stars across the board from me, fantastic work on the art, the gameplay was really solid and the audio tied it together nicely. Had a lot of fun just trying to find ways to use what words I still had to form insults. I'm also quite curious about how the words were weighted (since I saw someone else ask about that.)

Funny game!

Really original, the faces on the cutscene are hilarious

Super funny game! I really enjoyed playing it!

Really solid execution. The game looks great and has nice sounds too and I honestly don't think I had much to complain about with regards to input either. I had fun playing this little game and composing nasty letters. It would have been nice to see how many papers you had built up in store, but after a while I started playing differently and send as soon as I had one paper. I realize now that you could probably play it ignoring the pigeons and build up a large stack of paper and then send all the papers in very quick succession?

As expected, very solid entry indeed.

@local-minimum Thank you so much for the compliments and the gameplay video, it was fun to watch! It *does* matter what you write in the letters, but... also probably not as much as some players might think. It's a balance! πŸ˜€ It's true that the rain of arrows doesn't make sense story-wise, it's a choice purely from a game design perspective, to make the gameplay loop a little more rounded! Anyway, thanks again!

I had the game freeze 3/4 of the way through when I shot a pigeon, but still awesome. I had a great time trying to create horrible letters and it was nice the other pigeon activity turned off while I was doing that. The game had just enough going on to keep it interesting without being confusing or overwhelming. Good job! :)

This game was very charming and humorous to play. I think the highlight of the game is writing the letters. The art and music is very well done, and the gameplay is simple and fun. I'm curious about how the letter writing is implemented and what works as an effective insult or not.

chingiskhan 2026-10-26 08:44 ♥ 3

the 2d art and animations are fantastic. the character designs and the whole vibe are really funny. shooting down the robot pigeons to collect their letters is a great idea. it fits the theme perfectly.

it's a really charming and well-executed game. great job!

The game's logo is literally a work of art, I clicked on the game just because of it XD

I really liked the art and sound design, they create such a chill vibe. The idea of putting together messages is really cool, but I didn't fully understand how the percentage of how angry the king gets is calculated.

Anyway, awesome work, and congrats on making it to the top games under this jam's tag!
