(My tip: if you get back on working on this game, remake the buttons and perhaps even the background, and use a more pixelated font for the Day counter, the money counter, and the buttons, I think you should make something that blends in more with the pixel art style of this game!)\n\nThe gameplay is nice but could get a little bit more clarifications (i-e, I'd recommand making a small tutorial uwu)\n\nThe music and sound effects are great (Maybe add sound effects for when you click on a character or a button, just to get some more user feedback)\n\n\nOverall, pretty enjoyable game, I had a nice time playing it!\n\n![New_Piskel.gif](\/\/\/raw\/045\/e\/z\/2fe69.gif)","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Frozedon","author_uid":"1055849","time":"2020-04-21T06:38:45Z","epoch":1587451125,"modified":1587451125,"text":"The art looks awesome.

I'd say that the week long global status events are a good start, but I'd also say that a variety of shorter random events, which are less potent, would spice up the procedings more. \n\nFor instance, events which only affect one of the characters. They might get injured, go on a quest on their own, get some kind of a boost, require something special (which another character can work on). Less generally of course, you'd have to come up with quite a few specifics for these sort of events. You get the gist.\n\nOk work!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"pee-thief","author_uid":"1202587","time":"2020-05-10T16:28:57Z","epoch":1589128137,"modified":1589128137,"text":"nice spritework","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Valeth2124","author_uid":"1101344","time":"2020-05-10T16:57:30Z","epoch":1589129850,"modified":1589129850,"text":"Dazzling pixel art, I had fun surviving only 17 days...","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"yy404","author_uid":"1182088","time":"2020-05-10T16:57:50Z","epoch":1589129870,"modified":1589129870,"text":"Neat system and nice artwork!

As others have said, having to click on each character just to check is chore. A quick fix might be to show the bars in the empty space just outside their rooms. Something more effortful (and I might guess it was intended given more time) would be to show the characters doing their scheduled task (sleeping in bed, working, practicing) and have the buttons be their bed and workstations.\n\nOverall, nice bit of resource management with great art and soothing music!","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld46\/191355-f23bffe24022ad97c9435929af81d4c0.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/diccuric-sigeon.itch.io\/castle-isolation","text":"Youtube"},{"url":"https:\/\/diccuric-sigeon.itch.io\/castle-isolation","text":"Youtube"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"62131","g_author":"1013269","g_event":"LD46","g_eventkey":"77","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"276158","g_title":"Castle Isolation","g_status":"PVT1","g_place":"919","g_commentcount":"14","g_site2_node_id":"191355","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"191355","n_urlkey":"276158","n_parent":"176557","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/castle-isolation","n_slug":"castle-isolation","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"13269","n_created":"1587144080","n_modified":"1587416815","n_version":"591590","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":191355,"parent":176557,"superparent":9,"author":13269,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2020-04-20T21:06:55Z","created":"2020-04-17T17:21:20Z","modified":"2020-04-20T21:06:55Z","version":591590,"slug":"castle-isolation","name":"Castle Isolation","body":"Once, there was one little castle run by a princess.
