Hey guys I loved your game, it's a style I'd love to try making. I think you could definitely continue to work on this and come up with an interesting sinking country game! Great job!
Wow, the artwork, music, and sound effects in this game are amazing! Unfortunately, I am stuck on the tutorial right now (no mouse) :(
Excellent game! Love the artwork and color palette! Really cool game mechanics and how it really helped me to stop and think about what move to make, yet not knowing where the water was going to rise next! Great job!
A nicely presented tile merging/adjacency resource bonus kind of game, but the experience playing has room to improve with some really unfair map generation possibilities and some awkward pacing when you basically complete the objective early.
- My favorite part of this was the presentation, like the tiles being at visible heights so you could have an idea of where the water might rise to, before the nice 2 step warning of yellow/red notifications, it was nice to see and interact with.
Though simple the animations helped give some extra life to the tiles as you played with them too.
In general I think there was a good collection of possible combinations to interact with on the island, with +/-'s that you could make sense of.
For the amount of changes that happen when you move/combine tiles, the presentation of the value changes was well designed-though darkening the tiles in the affected radius would be nice.
- Regrettably after my 4th attempt at island 5 had me start with -11 food, I had to stop playing there.
I think the method of generating the board, food requirement and map size began to hurt the gameplay and pace at that point instead. Some more time customizing the generation could really strengthen the experience.
I like that all the characters that will reach the island are stuck on tiles in the surrounding area, with a great touch of them jumping/jumping less for the first then second group coming up to join. However it would be nice if that information was more immediately present, like a board similar to the total count that was to the right of the current islanders with a '+X', of however many will join after you act.
+ Wonderful art style!
+ Loved the animal noises - very funny!
+ Really cool game mechanics
+ Lots of fun, well done!
- I'd like more combinations!
- Maybe the difficulty ramp isn't quite right? I think that the first island is a little tough. I would suggest having less tile variation to explain the concept a bit more and then introduce new tiles and new combinations on later islands.
Super nice, I love the 2.5d style! Really interesting resource management game, experimenting with the different merging outcomes is really fun!
Really like this game. Always fond of this kind of management. Nice artwork, splendid entry!
This was quite a bit of fun to just chill out to and try to puzzle through. I really like the calming sounds and simple mechanics of combining things into smaller but more efficient spaces. Nice.
It took a little bit to understand, but when I did, I was having a lot of fun! You could totally flesh this out into an actual big game with more mechanics and whatnot. The only issue I had is that once I got my food above what the population was going to be, I just kept doing random moves that gave me zero points just to get all the people and win, like moving a plain onto another plain. As (I think) Sid Meiers would say, I was optimizing the fun out of the game. Maybe if there was some sort of incentive to get extra food? idk. Great game overall, I’d totally pay for a bigger version of it.
Had lots of fun playing this game. It reminds me of islanders in a way.
I really like this "different" style of visuals. The gameplay is very nice, I love games like this.
Cute game, interesting concept. Sounds are nice, visuals too.
