I feel like there's not enough player agency. It's too random.

Would have liked a bit more control. Liked the concept.

Well, I did some fighting and got some money but I wasn't really sure how to strategise in order to actually win - didn't feel as if I had much control over the outcome of the fighting

I agree with the other comments, there should be more control and less randomness :)

Felt tedious due to how difficult it was to get food, then my henchies would randomly die despite my leveling them up. The interface and graphics were nice though.

I really got into this game, its the first one Ive rated, only just finished the jam, anyway this game has got a real addictive mechanism. I would say that it took me a few mins to work out what was going on and how to interact to good feedback would be to buff the user interface :)

Really like the mechanism! It would be cool if you expanded it to more stuff, but it certainly got 30min from me :) A background music would be cool too.

I really like the idea. I played on easy but it was too hard for me to complete. My henchmen kept dying. Fairly ambitious project!
