A Paladin's Work is Never Done

Updated to V1.0.2: Fixed a peasant death bug that crashes the game, retooled the map to be a little more forgiving - no more snatching peasants right off the map edges.

A Paladin's Work is Never Done was made for the 48-hour Game Creation Organization Online Jam, with the theme of "paladins."

You are a paladin, and your work is never done. Protect the village's peasants, as they go work at the fields, from kidnapping brigands and murderous wolves! If you lose six peasants, it's game over.
