The game is pretty cool. To be honest, I don’t understand if there are ways to loose, but, anyway, it is really nice puzzle game:)

Thanks for commenting @erendelous. You can lose if you let the advancing armies get close. They will murderize you. :)

Nice pixel art!, characters are easy to read. not sure if by design but with the select its a little hard to see who "is up to bat" could be cool to add little text like "please not me" or "spare me honorable gods"

Really interesting game, great job!
Not sure if it's only me but sometimes I confuse left and right due to directions that the characters move, would've loved to be able to configure input settings or maybe toggling a checkbox for reverse input.

Well, nice and simple, i liked it. My only complain is that it isnt a clear lose/win scenario, so it could use a point system. Also, the pixelart is really nice, makes you able to identify the citizens after not even a minute playing, so you can play faster.

Good job!

Graphics are really beautiful, sound helps to create a mood. It wasn't very clear to me if I could win somehow. It felt like I was condemned anyway, regardless of how many people I sacrificed.

Sound effect is a little annoying, maybe too load.
Easy play, fun but not that fun.
Rhythm could be better

Simple gameplay and the visual effects were really nice which encouraged me to continue playing. The sound effects were not as satisfying because they didn't really fit in with the relaxing feel of the gameplay and music.

The art was excellent and was full of detail. Good job!
