How does your game fit the theme?
City goes boom is a strategy game with elements of management, in which every night the city is being bombed, causing destruction of residential houses and reducing the number of citizens. In order to save as many people as possible, the player must build and repair bunkers, move people between them, distribute building materials for building and repairing bunkers, and provide them with food. The player has the ability to manage logistics of resources and routes. The player will have trucks at his disposal, with which he can transport people, deliver food and building materials to the bunkers.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Wrote all the code, created all the models, painted them, created shaders, but downloaded vfx

Cool game! could need some more description how to play the game. Scrolling/zooming was way to slow and reversed? :) great work!
Interesting interpretation of the theme!
Cool concept and the visuals were pretty cool too, great job!
How do I run this on MacOs?
Download zipped mac universal version. Unpack zip file. Double click on unpacked .app file
cool game
Thanks!
Cool concept and the graphics. Great job!
Appreciate it!
This was a cool project! I don't remember seeing something like this before, it's very creative. I like the strategy element of determining where to build bunkers and predicting where ones might be good in the future. In the beginning, I was unclear of how the mechanics worked, so I put a bunch of bunkers in the middle of nowhere away from the bombings and wasted a lot of my resources. A little text popup in the beginning would solve that issue pretty easily. If you were to keep expanding on the project, which would be a good idea, it would be nice to have more actions for the player to do between bombings. There's a ton of stuff you could implement depending on the direction of the project. Great work!
Thank you for playing and reviewing our game! You are right about the text pop-up, we should have included it. By the way, we had many great ideas that we wanted to incorporate into this game, but car AI and procedural city generation took longer than we expected.
Great concept and fun mechanics! I loved the balance between calm preparation and the storm. Adding more strategy options, like upgrading defenses, could make it even better. Overall, a solid and creative game!
pretty fun game game and pretty creative and you didnt just made a storm you made a caustic moment after a calm day which is pretty nice. the mechanics are pretty nice and you can add pretty a lot for this game for example defenses that protect from soliders while the day when you get prepered for the day.
and maybe you can do so you can upgrade the trucks that are building the defenses.
overall i really liked the game.
Thank you for your feedback and the excellent ideas you shared. I have also been considering ways to further improve this game, and I really appreciate your suggestions!
Nice job! Wish there was a way to move faster like with shift or something like that but other than that, pretty fun!
Thank you! Thats a great idea! Will add that!
Nice simple game, well done! I liked the art style.
Thank you! We have an awesome art team, and we have always been fascinated by 3D cartoon graphics. We wanted to create something that looked as close to those graphics as possible. We put a lot of effort into the concept, 3D models, and 2D shaders
It's an amazing concept, and it reminds me to sim city games, my recommendation is to add some kind of text or tiny tutorial before the game starts to let the player know the main goal, but after all it's a great way to start, keep it up!!.
Thank you for your helpful feedback! I really appreciate your suggestion
has the makings of a cool city building simulator!
Cool! I like the concept and art style. Audio is good too.
Thank you for your interest in our game! We are proud of our minimalist and cartoonish style we achieved!
I really enjoyed it. It really gave me Cities Skyline Vibes. Only things that I didn't like were: no little controls show up , took me like 2 min to find out that you could move the camera lol and idk if it's me but the bombing sounds were too loud to me(with headphones). Other than that, good job :)
Thanks for the gret feedback! Will make explosions more quiet!
pretty interesting game, my only gripe is that I didn't really know the goal exactly. but I loved the graphics, and the controls were very smooth. nice work!
Thanks! Goal is to build bunkers and save as many people as you can until day 7 ends!
Hee-ho. Interesting game
The theme is unique, I couldn't save all people at first..
Also I couldn't build second 3x3 building, i could click it since it was green which means it's buildable but when i clicked it nothing happened.
I like this idea, i enjoyed your game. nice work!
Yeah, we're currently at an 8-truck cap active. Sorry we didn't add UI element to display that. We'll add that feature in with the next round of bug fixes. Thanks for the feedback!
Simple but gave me a nice experience
This is a very unique idea! A simple gameplay loop that is enjoyable to play multiple times, I had fun :)
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed our game :D
