Cursed Kingdom
Cursed Kingdom is a strategic medival puzzle game.
Your Kingdom is invaded by demons. You have to strategically place small villages and watchtowers, to collect gold and defeat enemy buildings. This is more a puzzle game than a strategy game. The enemies won't move. You have to find the right spots and the right bulding order for your buildings, in order to succeed.
Controls:
- The game is controlled by mouse. Click in the menu to select a building, then click on a green grid postion to place it on the map.
- You can right click to deselect the building.
- Use the UNDO button to undo your building steps. You will get back your spent gold.
- You can zoom in and out with the mouse wheel. You can move the map with the cursor keys or wasd.
Theme:
With a heavy heart I decided to ignore the theme. All the ideas I had were super trivial or not doable in this time frame. So what I have now is the opposite of a 10-seconds game. It is a calm puzzle game. I hope you enjoy it anyways.

The big info dump at the beginning isn't the best. Instead, I'd recommend making the buildings unlockable, with the relevant tooltips coming up when you click the building the first time.
Would really like hotkeys - even something as simple as just 1, 2, 3 to select village, watch tower, archer tower
If you like, I could upload the solution for the levels.
@enver-arco @owca
Thanks a lot. I'm happy you enjoyed it.
There is a new zip file on the itch.io page with the solutions to each level.
@marjagil
Thanks a lot. Maybe I'll put some more work into it. Because I also enjoy this project.
@chairshot-games
Thanks! Yes, unfortunately it doesn't fit the theme at all. But sacrifices must be made 😉
I agree with other commenters that spreading out the instructions more would've been cool. Additionally, I didn't quite understand how the square availability worked. There were many times where I expected to have a green square open after placing down a building but it wasn't. Those moments were a bit frustrating.
That being said, overall, I really enjoyed the experience; it's one of the only games I attempted to finish from beginning to end. Great job!!
Lastly – and I hate to do this – but I would really appreciate if you could rate my game (https://ldj.am/$303168
). We currently also have less than 20 ratings so any help would be awesome! :)
I found the undo button especially user friendly.

@studiokraze Thanks for playing the game in the stream. You were a little bit sceptical if the art and music was made by myselft within the weekend - yes it was. Otherwise, I would have opted out these categories. And yes, the version you played is the orgiginal version, there is no post-jam-version (yet).
