A really chill game, although the game might need some sort of fast-forward system because I couldn't see where and when the storms came into view.

Nice chill vibes. I did get a bit bored waiting for the end of the game to come but aside from that it was a great time playing!

controls were great, graphics clean, audio was perfect for the game :)

Cheers

The art style together with the music made for quite a calm and pleasant experience, to be honest after about 10 days I ran out of things to do and just started drawing and writing things using the buildings 😁

I feel like it would make for an even better game if you decided to add some gameplay during the "storm" part.

Really nice game! Building my city was super relaxing and the music was very nice. And then it blew up :( Very good work!

I like the building system, and how you can eventually branch a lot when you have enough cash! Although as others have said, I feel like the time you have is too much.

A little description on what the shop and what the house do would have been nice when starting, but that is just a little nitpick :]

Music was really groovy,  sound effects would go a long way (when clicking buttons and placing buildings). Really fun visual town-builder, I love that it cozifies city-building, if you continue this game, I would love to see some more building options! If these are 3D assets, it would be really cool to rotate the camera. Would love something to do while generating money but overall great job, this was really cool!

Interesting idea, but, for me, it doesn't fit the theme. Also, it feels like there is no goal after building all the buildings - you just sit and wait:(

The building was fun but, it takes way too long to end. I was on day 11 and completely ready for my city to be destroyed. I don`t have time to finish this game if I want to play other submissions and that's a shame because I did enjoy it.

The time passes by  a little slowly, but the city building was really satisfying and fun to play with!

Very chill and had me engaged for awhile. Playing for the full 730 cycles is maybe too much, but I had a solid 10-15 minutes of building my lil city.  Cute graphics and nice music choice.

That is fair, the full game length is about 30 minutes, which is good for the people who want to actually build a larger city or mess around for a while without things getting reset, however, I now understand not everyone is interested in waiting 30 minutes to see the world end, so thank you for your feedback!

For me, the game was super slow at the beginning. I was building houses to try to increase my money, but that didn't really boost it that much. Then I realized the shop existed and my money production exploded.
Overall, it's a fun little game. The game should be sped up, or be given the option to speed up, in my opinion.

Understandable, I had to cut out a tutorial due to time constraints, and I also did not consider making a way to speed things up for people who aren't interested in sticking around for 30 minutes. Thank you for the feedback!

If you do make it to the end of a city at some point, feel free to share your score with me here, I'm looking to see how well people do on average!

I got to around 270 people before dying with nearly 200 thousand dollars. Thanks!

The game is way too slow for my liking, but the idea and concept is nice, and it was quite relaxing with the music.

I wish there was a "speed up time" or "skip X days ahead" to remove the waiting time.

Yeah, waiting 30 minutes for the game to end isn't something everyone has the time or interest to wait for I'm now realizing. Thanks for the suggestion though, I will keep that in mind for next time!

Classic city builder, i really like the graphics and placing multiple roads in a row was soooo satisfying.  I wish there were more indicators on how I am earning my money, but i understand the time constraints of a game jam

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, it was a limitation of jam time that meant I didn't get to finish implementing visual feedback, however with that input I will prioritize that higher next time! Thanks again!

Interesting! Thanks for the information, I do not use a Mac unfortunately, so I can't give you an exact solution for this! If you can, try and use a different browser, as this looks like possibly an incompatibility issue with your browser.

Hi, hope you had great fun during the jam. Game feels very polished but missing some information, like what to do and how. But feels amazing layout the road is awesome. Well done!

Try Tornad.io aswell and leave a comment about what you think about it! :)

Thanks for the feedback! Due to a lack of time, a number of things relating to additional feedback & signifiers were unfortunately cut. With this feedback in mind, I will try to prioritize that higher next time!

We also had to cut quite some ideas and features out. A week is short yet to still created something! Great work! :)
