Very well done and professional looking. Reminds me of some classic flash defense games. My only complaint is I wish I could zoom out a little bit so I could manage all the people faster. They finish their jobs too quickly for me to even bother using a bunch of them for tasks. I pretty much just had all of them push the king and like one or two guys doing the fetching.

What a beautiful game.
Congratulations. The aesthetics are awesome.
Music and graphisms are really great.
I would prefer rmb for attack/order/collect until lmb but it's nothing compare to the rest.
Good job.

The graphisms are great! Really love the look and the mood!
I would prefer to be easier to scroll around the map though. It is hard to keep track of everybody when starting to go far away

great look! Wish more chickens spawned great take on the theme! My only gripe was scrolling left to right was fast but up and down really really slow. Otherwise great job!

The art style looks very cute! Managing your troops feel intuitive and the music adds a relly nice atmosphere:D

Game is nice and simple. Warriors are overpowered :D Animations are smooth and professional.
Controls are really uncomfortable.. Could put map movement on WASD, map dragging should be without Ctrl. With movement/deselect it's usually the other way around - RMB to move and LMB to deselect or select new units - it's better if you use the same controls as other similar games, not figure out your own :)

This game is really cool, I only had a little scroll vertically problem. but it is cool . I didn’t manage at one that you need to carry the king. but it is well made. Congrat

Loved the style and presentation. My only advice would be to try and give stronger signals to the player about what they need to do to prevent the king from dying. It was only on my third go around that I noticed the hunger and health meters for the king.

Absolutely beautifull
But it would be better if there were a higher density of things to do. The first ennemy is veeery far from the king and the king don't moove very fast (even with everyone in him) at the begining.

King is Happy, King is Dead... I made it with moments to spare. Enjoyable, but playing on a dual monitor means you cant use the edge scroll!

Beautiful art. Though I had an issue with the road buying drawn on top of the characters, hiding the king (on Linux, maybe it's not the case for everyone). I couldn't finish the game because the king got stuck mid-road for some reason but I still liked it :)

This game looks and feels great !
It plays nicely despite some minor clunkyness in the controls.
Great job !

Scrolling is a bit awkward and kings movement speed (with 6 people, at least) can maybe be a bit faster, but otherwise a really nice entry!

Great visual and gameplay, but the camera control is a little bit weired, one point I move a little bit too far to find more food and I couldn't find the king again, would be nice to have a pointer to show where the king is when the king is out of screen

The art is amazing but the game is a bit slow couldn't get the patient to finish the game.

Plus I really want to meet the code and the artist join my Discord and let's have a chat I have a couple of questions

Pro:
I like the Art and the Idea a lot, its fun to play.

Cons:
The camera Movement is clumsy, Zooming would be nice, the left and right movement was to fast and up down to slow.
A Jump back to the King Button would be nice to. And maybe its not so smart to let the player go to far forward and collect the units ;)

All in All nice a game and it inspired me to work on an old Tower Defence project of mine
