Good entry!
I think the top is really cluttered though.. I feel confused looking at the numbers and understanding immediatly what I actually need to do.
to wrap your head around. At some point I just stuck to collecting children, men, women and sheep since those were the easiest
to grasp. The overworld could've had a tutorial because it didn't make too much sense at first but I eventually got the hang of it. However, the art
looks great and the sound effects were probably my favorite part. Keep it up!
Here is my playthrough:

At the beginning I had a bit problems to understand the instructions, but after playing and watching the score, they are clear.
I really like this game.
Nice voice acting ;)
The game looks good. Though if there was time for it an infinite background would have been a nice addition. I found myself creeping closer to the left when the police started to ramp up, which got me to a point where I'd see the characters running into the no-background abyss.
The audio is solid. The developer voice-over helped sell the mood and added some humor to the game's otherwise rather dark theme. The music is upbeat to match the game play as well.
The theme is well represented. The game is fun. What more is there to say?
Good job on this one!
The game itself is a little rough around the edges but more than playable. Music and art was adequate. The point system was a bit convoluted, but I just let the game calculate everything for me and I just looked at the resulting money amount. Nice entry!
Keeping track of what I was collecting was kinda difficult since I also had to keep track of the combos, took me a while to get the hang of it. Also, it was sometimes difficult to avoid policemen. An option to skip the final counting would've been nicer.
Overall, well done!
I was the developer on this game and here is the breakdown of the scoring system:
- If you sell a man/woman/child/sheep/dragon/Daenerys to any trader you get 1 gold.
- If he prefers that character, he pays 3 gold each (and buys all the others for 1 gold each)
- If you collect a dragon, it eats 5 of your sheep.
- If you collect a Daenerys, she frees 5 of your slaves.
- However, if you collect a Mother of dragons (Dany) with 3 dragons, you get 12 gold (and they don't eat any of your sheep and don't free any of your slaves)
- You can make as many combos as you can, but any loose dragons/danys not involved in a combo will cost you sheep/slaves.
- Cops need bribes, so they cost you 5 gold each.
Oh, and only the dragons/Danys that are in full combos would count as collected (and you can sell them later)
