The aesthetics are sufficient for this type of game. Would be nice if the screen was bigger though or have a full screen button. The text font had issues for me, you can see the issue on the menu "Top techno optimists" after the word techno. The How To play section is full of this issue, which made it hard to read.
I liked the music it fitted the gameplay well. It would've been nice to have a tutorial. I would've appreciated more feedback to the user when their was an imbalance and what was out of balance. There are 3 conditions to lose, when the player loses, try to tell them which condition was the cause. That way they can improve.
I don't think this fitted the main Apocalypse theme (end of the world in all its forms), or the 4 sub-themes: Bug Out, Eschatology (end of world mythological prophecies), AI, Cult
It didn't fit the doom and gloom of an Apocalypse theme, but I liked the positive view of the future, the highscore was a neat addition, the music and the relatively simple gameplay. Just needs a little more polish.
