Clever, original take on the theme! The interface got in the way of the fun a little bit, but the idea is quite cool. The one frustration I have is that the cause-effect is hard to discern sometimes.

The connecting of the socio-economic worlds is a great take on the theme. I enjoyed the game, but i wish the resources you are managing were a bit more clear.

Really clean and well presented concept. Would be nice to see a vid of it played 'well'. (i.e., not by me! ;D ) - perhaps a basic walkthrough tutorial?

Interesting idea. As others have said, it's a little unclear what the effects of my actions are. I don't know why I would want to use the "Spy" action - what does it gain me? Nonetheless, I think something pretty interesting could be made out of this.

wow. really impressive.
Nice form to use the theme.
I would like some music, more fun thing happy (not comical, just feedbacks) and some more information about how win the game.

But, nothing this topics are vitals, the game is good!

It seemed like it was too easy, I could just give a speech to each group every turn as the king, and work until I was hungry as a peasant. I eventually tried to start an uprising just to see what would happen. The interface seemed to get in the way more than help, the transitions are too slow. Also, if you click fast, you can get more than three turns in by clicking on the button while it's fading in. It's a good concept, but it's a little too simple.

Great concept. Moderately good execution.
Only thing I thought that needs work was that since you control both the king and the peasant, you ought to keep them working in the others interest.

Also, my first time playing I worked for three days straight to earn money to buy food, but in doing so, forgot to eat.
I'm pretty sure theres something to learn in there somewhere.

Good idea for the theme, but I did not really understand what was happening. What all my actions do? Also, I always die from hunger, as I keep buying food without knowing how to eat it :(
A more polished version with more explanations would make a good game.
