My Little Castle by WouterK12

My Little Castle
As a greedy king, you shall bleed your people with heavy taxes to bloat your vault with gold, but the higher your castle rises, the more monsters flock, threatening your pride above all else.
Use your archer and warrior friends to defend your collected gold from the greedy ghosts. They will never stop until they have all that should be yours.

But overall nice fast paced and visually appealing game!
Nice cat jumpscare but also fun game.]
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
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:
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!
The pot and ghost mechanic is interesting. Makes you strategically place the gold pot away from potential ghosts.
