Use your deck of tiles to build a path covering all the lands spreading the good word while also pillaging some rewards as additions to your deck or sometimes even blessing you with some powerful abilities.

\nRegarding visuals, the font does not seem to work on Linux (I tried on Edge & Firefox), at least it looks different than on the screenshot.

The music was just the right feel, and it synced well with the animations. I felt like the balance of luck vs strategy could be tweaked just a bit, but that is my only real feedback I feel could improve what is an awesome game.

Re-playable and fun. I liked the music and the lightning strikes add extra appeal too.

\nThe only feedback I have is that I wish you couldn’t get more than one tile of the same type on your hand - in many occasions I had perfect tiles on my deck but had no way to use them and died quickly.\n(My record so far is 65k points! :) ).

\nJust a bit sad that it seems we don’t have anymore chests to open after a while: the excitation to continue fades a bit from this point.
\nBut the core concept is great, I would love to see (even buy :D) a more complete version of this game!

\nMy only feedback - Was a little confused after collecting the chests why I had to continue putting down symbols, realised after I had to cover all the land but the chests felt like the natural target.

I got some plays where early on I lost a lot of life just through luck of the draw.

The best idea I’ve seen so far. Kudos! Loved the puzzles and the randomness - some of the puzzle elements were quite a gamble like Fill neighbors, or dead ends with bonus. Addicting!
\nI played on an android phone and was not able to go fullscreen, also experienced a few glitches (Info popup covering the field or not getting hid, getting reward during endgame screen, but maybe it was just my lagging phone).

I played this for ages (nearly an hour), getting through to the ‘THE ARAGONESE CRUSADE’ level, and after that repeated again, I stopped. I’m not sure how much further I was from the end of the crusade? The visuals are brilliant, with cute animations and sound that doesn’t outstay its welcome. The first time I played it, I didn’t quite get it, but on my second play, it all just clicked. Place the tiles to fill the land, don’t leave any gaps, and try to open all chests! The tiles do NOT have to form a perfect circuit (which caught me out originally), but the player does have to be able to move to them. Once you figure that out, it’s really quite joyous. Excellent game!

\nI wasn’t sure exactly how to complete the objective of covering the lands. I felt like I was randomly placing the tiles and always seemed to complete the levels?
\nThe animations and level transitions look good.

\nI did find one bug. If you click the “Sainthood” powerup (increase your health by two), it will add two health each time you click. I think that’s not the intended effect
