Just got to say wow!  Such a gem.  A magnificent little game.  The art style and animations were so cool, despite being made in a week.  The music and sound effects fit perfectly.  This is one of the best game jam entries I've come across.  So much thought and effort went into it.  I honestly can't think of any recommendations.  Well done!

I absolutely loved the artstyle, the sound design and just the overall vibes of it. And there isn't really anything that I dislike tbh.

A very cool game. All I wished, but might be nitpicky , is that I could disable the construction of a building, even though materials haven't even placed by the little characters. And also, idk why but the first two days took not even 5 seconds to pass, unless that was supposed to be an intro lol.
Hope you'll also rate mine :) https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2973690

WAW ! Your game is litteraly the best game I've played so far and from far !!! Well done, every thing is so perfect, well balanced game, nice graphism, nice simulation, I will for sure play it again, those 30 minutes were not enough, you deserve a ton more of attention, you should try to advice a bit your game in the community because it is insane for a game jam !!! WAW !!! I cannot believe it ! Nice work !

I like everything except that I depleted my stone mounds and then my guys couldn't build enough farms and wells to continue living so they died :(

If quarries could generate stone in addition to metal ingots I think this problem would be solved

Other than that this is an awesome entry! The graphics worked so well and the simplicity behind battle mechanics is a nice refresher. The music got a bit repetitive, but it wasn't too bad and the other sound effects helped keep it fresh. The concept of the enemies coming from a random but specific direction each day is nice as well, forces you to build in all 4 directions without feeling thinned out.

This game is sooo polished! 10/10!! I really enjoyed! The art is great, and the game idea is so unique! As the dune is constantly changing, the city is too. Kinda sad to see my people having a hard time. But i really enjoyed! Awesome work! (why is this game so underated???)

Love the game! Well done! Use the calm before the storm to build and protect. Nice tech tree you got going. Fun to play, and the art style is awesome, let alone the music

Very nice little game, I enjoyed playing it !

I really enjoyed the look of this game it was very unique and pleasing to the eye. The only problem I really had was the. hud elements were soo tiny and hard to read, I couldn’t even read the descriptions of the items other than their name. I personally would have made the hude elements larger but overall really great game

On the end of the day 5 storm, the game just did nothing and kinda froze (But there was wind, but no storm projectiles!)  But really fun, clever, and other than the bug, polished game!  Great job!

We had a lot of fun with this game, especially when the turrets came out :D. We think the art is incredible and the concept is interesting. Our favorite part is that the natural dunes which protect you also act as a resource which creates a balancing act. We also liked how the game slows down when you are deciding on which turret to place, however we think the day cycles should go a little bit quicker when you are not deciding as we found ourselves waiting quite a while for the night time. Regardless, great job and would love to see you develop this game further!

Awesome game, absolute hit, I love the minimalist style and the gameplay is engaging, great job!

This game is my absolute favorite game I've played so far in this jam! I love the graphics, perfectly minimal with a whole lot of charm. The audio is also amazing. The mechanic of the storm and how it switches directions each day is really fun and interactive, perfect adaptation of the theme. 5 stars on everything, amazing work!
