It's a great game. The idea of the worker layout: +1. Graphics fit the mood of the game: +0.5. Good music choice: +0.5. After some time, you pile on resources and people, having nothing to do: -1. Time well spent: +1. Good variety in people, options: +1.5, but a few flaws (1.5 -> 1).
A sequel or an update would be a great idea. It would improve the game's rating capacity.
Reviews for "Towncraft"
Actually pretty fun
I'm a sucker for pixel graphics, but the game itself is a little tricky... which is good, everyone loves a challenge :)
Also, don't mind me saying, but I think the music in this game is amazing, I'd very much like to meet and shake hands with the gentleman/sex-god that made it.

Amazingly simple
I have to admit that it seemed yet another of those boring point and click rpg's but it's kinda fun.
But a few things caught my attention as well.
1. The festival is registered as being 100 Gold while it only costs 50
2. It's far too easy, farm and build at start and you can rack up soooo much recourses after a while (depending on the map) which brings me to 3
3. The map is far too small. You should add an option to 'migrate' your existing town to a new world or something like that.
4. The monsters never exceed 2 and it is too random. I got 3 rounds of 2 when i started the first time and the second time it started with 3 empty rounds.
Hope this is of any help since i would definitely play a part 2

Glad to hear it! :)
FANTASTIC!
I've been considering learning flash for awhile now so that I could post better strategy games on here. Tower Defense is okay the first hundred times but that is about it. Until THIS! Fantastic to see a step in the right direction.
Ultimately it just needs some fleshing out. The building of houses, statues, and...erm...outhouses. Could possibly be represented on the little town view. You should have options to reduce the amount of nightly raids (attacking raiding camps, building walls, etc.), and an end game would be nice. However it is a SUPER start. My hats are all off to you.

I'm glad you like it! Your suggestions have been noted :)
Solid start
Really nice beginning for a game, i think if you flesh it out a little it will be golden. Throw in a defense minigame for the overnight raids, and that would be alot cooler than staring at a little red dude walking into my wall. Just one question, how do you win?
