Beautiful pixel people, fun idle type game. Should definitely develop this further.

@ace17 Unfortunately there's no ending to the game, you just run out of updates you can purchase.

I really like this entry, I found it quite enjoyable! Great mood on the game overall and I really liked progressing through the various upgrades. Lots of unique stuff and great looking art. Thanks for sharing!

I kinda like it. The art style is beautiful, it really sells the atmosphere for me. The animations are minimalistic yet fluid and tasteful.

My first run went easy, but I don't mind. I guess the key is to upgrade the resource gaining options first (more people to grab, more souls per person, more boiling capability) before attracting new guests.

Such a neat + atmospheric take on incremental games! So cool! The sounds are excellent and the graphical style is such a good way to keep things simple but looking great. This is really nice work.

The game feels so good!
The art is gorgeous, but the sounds stole the scene. The boiling sounds are great!!

This game is simple and fantastic. Excellent execution, and I love the art style with all the villager interactions.

I love this game! I found myself playing long after I ran out of new upgrades :)

Ah yes, I played your game the first day the combo ended and I thought: What a cool game! Nice pixels and good animations. I had a really good time with it. I waited a little bit for a "end screen" as I had upgraded all things. Unfortunately I didn't rate the game and didn't remember the name. But thankfully, you left a comment on my post so I could finally rate you. I hope you join LD next time as well ;)

I really liked this one, although it could use some sort of a challenge. But for a jam game this was really fun and relaxing in a weird way.

This game is bloody addictive (geddit?). I realised I'd carried on playing for like 5 minutes after I'd unlocked all the upgrades. Great artwork, good sound effects, interesting (if a little grim) premise. Loved it.

I loved trying to launch the people as high as I could at a distance and still land in the cauldron. It was late when I was playing. I fell asleep with the game running and woke up to tens of thousands dead. Fun game!

The graphics are incredible, 5 stars. Love the mood too, gameplay was a bit easy but enjoyable. Nice work!

Great entry. The graphics, the sound design and especially the mood are absolutely stunning. Feels incredibly satisfying just playing the game even without any goal or a purpose long after buying all the upgrades, so the gamefeel is top-notch. Good job!

One of my favorites this LD, though I wish it had a final goal. The art style, mood and presentation are all on point!

It's amazing and i really enjoyed playing it :D beautiful art, sound and mood, great idea and not enough upgrades lol

Audio is amazing! When I got all the upgrades I just started throwing people around :,D They look and feel like a bunch of ants, which is very fitting. It would be nice to see the upgrades that you've got and what they do.
