Welcome to Veliky Novgorod in 1260.
\nYou play as a trader who tries to earn enough money to pay back to Mongol tax-collectors by selling salt and grain. Your goal is to earn 200 silver for the upcoming round to satisfy mongols.
\nGood luck.

The bumping of the characters when they hit an object is pretty cool.\nThings that could be better are: would be nice to have music, the collision detection is not great (I was walking on water), and it is a bit difficult to know what to do, and where to place the jars

\nSimple game all functions well.

\nTook me a long second to understand what to do, but eventually worked out that the wizard always picks up salt, and the princess always wants grain, so it’s just a matter of organizing so that you can drop those on the tables ASAP. The game is a little simple, but it’s executed well, and quite satisfying to beat!

\nUnfortunately, the gameplay is not at all challenging. Always the same girl asks for grain in the top counter, and the wizard asks for salt in the bottom counter. Always at the same time. Once you understand this, it’s a matter of doing the same thing a dozen times until you reach 200 silver. There also this issue where the canvas doesn’t fit the window for some reason.
\nThe game has immense potential, but right now it’s not exactly fun.

\nControls are super easy to use, and the gameplay is quite self-explanatory.
\nI thought the game would’ve been a bit more immersive with a few sounds (like pickup/drop item).
\nGood effort!

\nWasn’t sure what the difference was between the orange and brown sacks or barrels? Or what I was meant to be doing with them.
\nOr what the stand on the path was for, or even why the lady and the wizard stopped for a bit and sometimes left stuff and sometimes took stuff.
\nWould love to play again, but perhaps need more instructions.
\nI wasn’t able to go diagonally, and some of the buildings could be walked through.

\nI don’t know what I’m supposed to to, but I think I need to move the bag of coins (I think they are bag of coins) outside of the castle.
\nAdding some sound effects and music to the game, and help define a clear goal, I think you have something that can be addictive.

\nThe gameplay is good as well, it keeps a steady pace and rounds are not too long. The time to help out a customer is very short however, which makes it quite difficult to satisfy the customers order. It would be nice if the customers already show what they want to buy when coming down the bridge, that way you have some extra time to get the product from your store for them.
\nAll in all though, very nice experience! Well done!

Thanks for your submission to js13k!\nI’m sure you’ve worked hard on your game, but I’m not aware of how much time you spent on it, so excuse me if things I mention were in your mind, but got left out in the rush of the month or just because you hit the 13kb limit :)
