The interactions were not so clear in the beginning, maybe a tutorial wold've help. Once I undestood, it became very clear, and I enjoyed it :) very well polished, nice work

I liked this game a lot ! Interactions were a bit unclear at first, but once I understood what to do, the feeling of scaling up was really enjoyable and rewarding. Graphics are cute, controls are efficient, rhythm is good. The game only lacks of a background music, tutorial and some UI elements on hover (e.g : the names of the forge items you unlocked in the bottom bar).  Great game, congrats !

Really nice game, I like the style and the sense of improvement. With the mouse I tried to figure out wich kind of ore and processed bars it was, so maybe it's a feature to develop! Otherwise, a little message like "nice, you constructed all the city" or something would be great when you did all the improvements everywhere. Goog job!

Nice job! It is really relaxing and the artwork is just great! I just would've loved to have a nice background music :) but besides that good work!

Wow the speed of scaling is slow at first but really picks up! It was hard to tell what recorce was what. You could add a name when it's hovered but other than that is was great! Loved the art too!

This was really relaxing, the theme interpretation of scling economy is simple but you exceuted it very well. It starts very slow and suddenly your building and upgrading left and right.
Also interesting with the translation. Overall I really enjoyed it and I think there is still potential here, like background music and an over view of achievements.

I don't know how you managed to hook me with incrementing integers, but it definitely worked, I played this chill little island builder for a good while. I loved the palette and the Upgrades Go Brrrr sound effect.

A couple things I'll mention. When I heard the Whoop! SFX I knew there was an upgrade ready, but finding that little blue flag was sometimes difficult. Maybe adding a little blue circle would be enough to mitigate this.

Secondly, I think a game this chill would be incredibly elevated with the right soundtrack -- you could just sit, bop your head, and watch those resources flow in.

Cute and chill game.

Very cute looks & level design.

I guess this is an idle game? Not too familiar with the genre.

Maybe there could be an on-screen arrow pointing in the direction of any blue flags? Or maybe it's more fun to look around the island.

Anyway. Enjoyed playing it while cooking. :)

Saw this game crop up a few times in the discord over the last few days. Good to see other strategy style games being submitted :)

I like the art style with this, chill game, used to really like tycoon style games when I was younger.

Extremely cute and good looking game. The lack of music is kinda disappointing. It would have been great, if there would have been a different flag, if i have not unlocked the milestone yet.
