Good game with a message. It was very hard to win though as it was very luck-based - I often got very many factories that pulled down my score. A main menu and a restart button would have been preferred.

I really like the graphics on this one - clean and simple.  Nice color scheme.  I wasn't totally sure what the different polluters were so a little menu pointing out the different types of items could have been useful.  I also couldn't tell if there is a way to be strategic with the items I placed or if it's just "luck of the draw".  Maybe it'd be cool if there were a "pollution level" you had to monitor instead of a points system? in I think this idea has a lot of potential and it would be worth revisiting the gameplay.  Great work!

I'd love some feedback on my game also!

Really appreciate your comment! The suggestion is very helpful, thanks for pointing out the problem of the score system, and the pollution level sounds great! Love your idea! 

Sure! I’ll check yours when i get back to my pc!

I think the concept behind this is really cool though the gameplay & objective aren't very clear. Also, the dimensions of the game are bugged, so I couldn't see the timer or if there was a score of any kind. Definitely could use some polish, but a really good start to what I think could be a great & fun game!

I'd appreciate it if you could play/rate my game as well! :)

Thanks for pointing out the problem, really appreciate it! I will keep in mind for the project. Glad you like it!

Sure! I will check yours when i get back to my pc!

I like the visuals but I wish the objective was more clear. However, I did get it after some gameplay. Also, there's the UI issue that was already pointed out by other players.

Developer

Thanks! Will keep it on my list!

I love the water effect, the smoothness of the game, and the idea of reducing pollution. There was some weird overlapping with the UI, and also if you select 2 things in the UI it shows both items and won't let you place them.

Fun take on the theme, also bringing an important message across!
Really liked the aesthetics of the game, too.

If you want to improve on the game, here are a few things I would change / fix:

  • The environment items to place would spawn ontop of each other in the UI, making some not usable until you used the other one (e.g. placing a chimney before you can place a tree)
  • The game has no menu. On first launch I wasn't really paying attention and when I looked over, I saw the game over screen.
  • There are certain parts of the island that I cannot place objects on.

Overall, nice experience!

Developer

Really appreciate your comment! The suggestion is very helpful! Yea the UI buttons and the game menu are the major issues, also should’ve use mesh collider instead of box collider for the terrain. Will keep those on my list for the next update! Thanks!

Interesting game :D My feedback would be sometimes at the start you can get only factories wich make you lose the game instantly :/  Other than that i liked how the scene look like a small terrarium so cute :D Overall liked it nice job :)

Note : I would be really glad if you checked out my game :)

Fun little game :) I really liked the design. One small thing is that the icons in the bottom panel sometimes overlapped each other, not sure if that was intentional or not. The animation on the water was really cool as well, great work!

If you get a chance any feedback on my game would be much appreciated as well!

Cheers

Pretty interesting game - It was a bit confusing at what did what at first, but I got the hang of it. I feel like. You should probably lock the camera, so it doesn't let you look at the underneath.

Submitted

I found this game quite fun, but I feel like you should've let us turn the camera. The highest score I ever reached was 202. Nice Job on this one :)

You actually can turn it, also with left click

Developer

Mybad haha should’ve add a tutorial or instruction, glad you like it!

Cool concept, Music while not original was nice

I got a bug where I accidently selected multiple things and that didn't allow me to place anything

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Will definitely look into it!

Submitted(+1)
