This game looks very polished for a jam, I loved it. Once I understood the resources system it was kinda addictive. And that was a cool way to interact with the storm. One thing is that after the first storm, the storm music keeps playong even in the calm moments, which in fact had an impact and made the experience a little less enjoyable, as the sound doesn't fit. Also, I think maybe getting bricks is a little bit too slow. But I don't know, that has to do with the balance of everythign. Still a very good entry! And loved the graphics.

Developer

Yeah, sorry about that. We didn't get to finish tuning the music before the end of the jam. That happens after the first set, though. After that, it should all be good. According to my idea, based on the "calm before the storm" theme for the jam, the music should get more relaxed and chill after the storm until it totally fades away, and then it starts suddenly when the storm hits.

Thanks for the feedback!

A nice little relaxing build game, your game looks really good, and the storm mechanic is so polishes and snappy it was a ton of fun just pushing the storms around. I initially got confused about the building so built 10 lumber mills thinking they just passively made lumber, but that may have just been me misreading the tutorial ;)

Impressive job ! The gameplay had a nice charm, but I felt it could pick up the pace a bit for a more engaging experience. Overall, a solid submission that kept me entertained—well done!

Submitted

Well done making everything from scratch! Its a bit slow but I managed to finish the tower, well done on your submission :)

Submitted

Great game, had fun with it. Thank you for including the FPS limiter in the options, the game ran much smoother capped on my browser, which made it much more fun to play. And all assets from scratch? Great work on this one folks!

Submitted

Wow all the assets are amazing! Gameplay was pretty fun, although maybe a bit slow in the beginning.


Did you do anything special to have the textures keep their quality when you exported? For some reason mine got super downscaled when I exported.

Submitted

super fun entry! i was a little confused initally, but i enjoyed the gameplay a ton :) great stuff!! i was quite honestly hooked!

Submitted

Very well executed idea, I didn't think I'd play for long but it got me going until I built the tower completely. You really nailed all the criteria. My only feedback would be to fasten the pace a bit as it did feel pretty slow, and to polish the storms somehow as they were more of an annoyance than anything.

Very addictive, love the art style, though it has some rough spots.

Submitted

Great game, but a little confusing at first

Submitted

enjoyed this!! felt like the overall gameplay was very satisfying (except for getting pwned by those storms xd) - maybe could've been made the person counter a little faster cos was struggling for a while with nothing to do. had fun though, thanks for creating this!!

Some feedback:

  • Animated title screen is well done.
  • While hovering on the hammer to build icon, the buildings panel keeps jittering. So much that I'm unable to click on the building icons. It takes about 5-7 clicks to get a building.
  • Visuals and effects are great overall!
  • Lightning animation is harsh on the eyes.
  • The change of music during storms is well done.
  • Given the visuals, I expected an RTS, but this was more of a clicker kind of game.
  • For the buildings with an option, clicking the option should also speed up production. It's a pain to select the option and then click on the building to speed up.
  • Also it would be helpful to be able to queue up production in buildings with options (and commit resources while queueing). That way the player doesn't have to constantly keep clicking to select the next option to build.
  • The storms kept destroying the buildings and was a pain to build again. Took a while of trial and error before figuring out how to keep them away.
  • Managed to build the temple, which felt good!


Good work overall!

The lightning effect is way too intense. The graphics and music were quite good although tornados did occasionally fall through ground. My only major complaint is the need to constantly click buildings for resources. That can easily be broken with an auto clicker.

Submitted

Loved the graphics, music, and cozy feeling (before the tornadoes). Perfect implementation of the theme as well!

Submitted

Man, this game is so awesome, I enjoyed it so much!!

Submitted

This was awesome! I loved the little touch with the hammer zipping to the next building you select and the storm was great! 

Submitted

Really great game concept. I love how you implemented the game jam theme. A few assets didn't really fit together (like the platform of the temple) with the rest. But overall everything is really polished and great. The glass building didn't produce any glass that's why I sadly couldn't finish the game. But I had a lot of fun playing this game! :)

I'm glad to see another game with the similar idea! I like the mechanics, visual style is also nice. I'm not sure if I didn't find it, but is there a way to protect your buildings? Because after each storm I had to rebuild most of the buildings again which was a bit frustrating.

Anyway, the game is great and I really enjoyed playing it!

Developer

Thanks. You can click and drag the tornados

Submitted

Wow, I see... I'll try your game again then

Developer (1 edit)

Yeah the whole storm system is bugged in the web build. I'll try to upload a fixed version.
