I really like this! Original, and presentation is great. I just feel it was a bit difficult to play. 😅 Would've liked for the sensitivity to be lowered a bit; it was hard to gauge direction unless I pulled the houses so far back they would go flying so fast they broke. And I feel it was hard enough without the houses breaking by being pulled into the surrounding scenery haha. But lots of potench, as Mark would say! A post-jam version with some fine-tuning would be really cool. Art is just gorgeous. 😍 Great work!

How does your game fit the theme?
The town in the game is constantly overrun by earthquakes, with no possibility to predict where the next one will occur. We stuck with the idea of shooting around the houses because this way, the player is not able to have precise control over where the houses exactly go. The pacing of the game is quite fast, you need to react quickly, before the houses have already been turned into flying debris by the unpredictable quaking grounds.

thank you so much for playing our game! ya, we realized the sensitivity was tied to the framerate, so we didnt even notice this was off until some people told us about it :D and we're definetly thinking about updating the game at some point :D

thank you for the comment! the game turned out to be pretty hard, which wasn't really intended. there is *some* strategy aspect in the sense, that you would try to have as few houses in each area as possible so its easier to relocate them, but that's about it. so there isn't that much of a secret catch there :D
Very nice game! Everything looks pretty and clean, I really like it!
For the gameplay, there's the unfortunate difficulty curve: the further you are into the game, the less houses you have and the eazier the game is. It's hard not to loose a lot of houses in the beginning, so most of the game I'm playing with just a few left. The game is still fun but if you found a way to flip the curve, it would probably be more enjoyable - especially in the early seconds.
Well done on the game! I also think I got pretty good at it :D.
