I like the part where you burn down someone's house to clear space for a mini-mall.
...Wasn't expecting to say that today.

This was a fun sandbox and set of levels! Remminds me a lot of Powder Toy, Noita, and other pixel-based simulation games. I appreciate how everything you have to do is extremely mundane for the most part.
Unfortunately it did feel like most of the levels were very narrow, and the tiny leyline area meant there were not *that* many options for what to do. Most of the time you didn't have much control beyond picking the right combination and ratio of ingredients and hoping it works. Of course, you also added a sandbox mode to mess around in if you want more freedom.
I got levels 1-5 relatively easily, but couldn't figure out level 6.
Nice work for 48 hours!
And I absolutely burst out laughing when after the buildup from the intro, the way ot save the kingdom was volleyball. Amazing, love it (and the other funny levels too, but volleyball takes the cake). Great job!
I really like games like this and had a lot of fun. Thanks :)
I'd have liked to be able to skip through the dialog.
Nice work!
Got more complex throughout the game so it was enjoyable to learn, liked to play with the different elements.
