I love the art, the gameplay, and controls! Though it was easy to navigate and interact, I had no clue what I was doing, especially when a hex terrain goes away. But don't get me wrong, it's still a very cool game.

Developer

Thanks for playing and your feedback.  I added some explanation of the game page to overcome the insufficient tutorial.

Awesome, chill, casual game. Personally I like strategical games with hexagons so this was perfect!

I did think that the tutorial in the beginning should have been longer though as it wasn't completely easy to grasp the mechanics (should I have read about that in the game's description maybe). I also think that the sounds effects were a bit annoying, you should have either had less of them, or higher quality.

Developer

Thanks for playing and feedback. I added some description in the game page because everybody seems to be lost at start. The tutorial is really too light for this kind of game.

It took me longer than I thought to get it but once I was able to play the game correctly, I really enjoyed it. It's very original and it fits the theme so perfectly!
Really cool entry

and the general atmosphere with the visuals, sounds, and music  is sweet

Developer

Thanks for playing. Everybody is a little lost at first, but I'm glad you let it enough time to understand how it works. Next time I will put more effort on the tutorial.

This game was great. I found it a little slow and boring after a few games so maybe introducing new features could help it liven up a bit. But it's still an amazing game

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing. The web version can be a little slow depending on your browser/hardware but the executable version run smoothly. For the boring part, you are right, there are already 5 buildings that could have been discovered on their own level. There is in fact 5 levels (even if you can continue as long as you want)

The game looks great. I love that kind of sprites used in 3D. It took me some time to grasp the rules though... I am not sure yet how the interactions work.

Developer(+1)

Thanks you for playing and feedback. Yes, the tutorial need more work to make the rules and interactions clear.

Thanks for playing. Yes I suck at tutorial. If you are curious there is a table with the different combinations in the game page.

Ok. I'll check that !

This was very charming! Great job with this game. I also assume that the sound effects were done by your voice?

Great strategy game, how did you manage to make it look 2D and 3D at the same time?

The music kind of reminds me of Jak and Daxter.

Developer

Thanks for your feedback !

It's easier than you think. Unity is a 3D engine, even when you make a 2D game, it's in fact 3D. So all the sprite have a 3D position. The 2D effect is due to a billboarding, i.e I rotate the sprite upon the tile in order to always face the projection plane of the camera. If you're interested, you can follow this tutorial.
you can also check this other entry that uses 2.5D: https://alexbarr.itch.io/kayak-ken

Amazing art and concept! 
This game was almost perfect in any aspect!
My only problem is that it's hard to understand how the game works.
Overall marvelous job!

Developer

Thanks for playing ! Yes, the tutorial and  the informations displaied need some improvement to be easily understandable.

Wow! That was some next-level art and music in a game. Knowing that all this was done by yourself is just amazing. The balance of 2D and 3D graphics that you have created is also great. This was an amazing take on the theme, to be honest. Thanks for such an amazing game!

I would really appreciate it if you could play and rate my game as well. Thanks a lot!! Cheers!!

Developer

Such a beautiful game ! I recognize the beautiful and homemade sound design ... and graphic design ! The theme is very expressive and remind me the climatic immigration problematic. When game looks like reality. So far i don't write in english, please apologize ! ;)

the game is very addictive and fun to play, the visuals are nice, the sound design is amazing. the only criticism i have is it's very unclear what makes the refugees come over to the middle isle

Developer

Thanks for playing and feedback ! Yes, you're right, we have some work to do on the tutorial ;).

Cute little puzzle game! Your art was amazing, perfect balance of 2D and 3D assets for my taste. Was all that hand drawn by you? It really was impressive! Also enjoyed your SFX and music. It was a little tricky to understand how to complete the goal at first, but I caught on pretty quick. Overall, great game!

Developer(+2)

Thanks you for playing and feedback ! Yes we've done all the graphics too. We want to do this 'toony'. Yes, we have to work on tutorial and balance. ;) Happy you enjoyed it !

Loved the art and music. Those two things gave the game a chill atmosphere, so good job on doing that! The concept is also interesting, and makes you think, and do different strategies to complete the levels.
