Dang, beautiful UI work! Balance wise it seems there's nothing to do but wait after you buy the city hall and then the two rooms that upgrade roads somehow..? One of the road upgrades seemed to rapidly increase in repair costs faster than it generates cash, unsure if that's intentional or not. Thematically it's a bit confusing to have this eco score and seemingly the next immediate possible goal is to restore a gas station, perhaps there's a surprise when you do it and you turn it into something else? Repairing asphalt roads isn't exactly super eco-friendly either It might be a completely different vision for the game, but I think it could be really neat to see the repairing give more environmentally healthy alternatives to each thing. Minor things, but I was able to get into my neighbor's town by accident (leaving the town hall and heading left, hopping that wall), though eventually found my way back. Also I somehow got stuck with the clean pavements collect rent/repair button in the bottom left but no build menu in the bottom right, and I can't move or get out of it to my knowledge.
I think it's a really great idea for this type of game, though, and I really like the slick feel to the UI. Would love to see this continue to be worked on :)
Quite right it is intentional that the roads durability decreases fast than the income generated meaning you have to take funds from elsewhere to pay for repairs (because this is how councils work right 😄)
We are missing 2 more council repairs in the form of environmental and lighting, these are essential for the income growth to achieve enough to repair the gas station into a gas station with grass on its roof (because grass on a buildings roof is eco afaik haha)
Jokes aside, yeah the balance is off due to the missing council tax rooms which kind of ruins the experience and it is advisable to maybe look at this as more POC than a finished project, for example the repaired gas station durability is set to default and is not very profitable, if profitable at all.
Maybe we could look at the term eco being more "Economical" than "Energy Company Obligation" 😜
Yeap, we are missing 2 more council offices that would of made the climb to 20k more steady. I believe they were on strike at the time of publish and the unions say they are untouchable till after the results.

Thanks for the feedback ephemerald

Good choice of music, it gave me Caesar 3 vibes.
The money earned is a bit too slow compared to what there 's to buy (the gas station is at 20k), after 10 min or so I was only at 2 or 3k.

Apologies for the inconvenience 😅
