"Zen mode" quickly became Out Of Control as well...
I love the simplicity of the start, everything is nice and quiet... and then BOOM!
Rapid colonization!
I am amazed with all these games like yours that become so addictive! Solid gameplay! Good luck!
It's fun, but towards the end it's difficult to see. What is the highest score possible? I got like 409600
You can always zoom out to go top-down and see everything more clearly :)
In Zen mode the score doesn't mean too much, but the highest you can get is the score you got (409600). Thanks for playing the game for so long! :D
In challenge mode, the highest possible score is 173056, but that's probably not really achievable. The highest score we've seen so far is 23,641!
It’s really great, I loved it ! The art is perfect and the game is well put together. Congrats, it’s amazing !
What a cool game! I really like the progression - starting small and tidy, then everything gets huge and crazy :). It's a bit hard to manipulate with buildings behind the tall ones. Other than that, very nicely done!
A city builder for this theme! Never thought I'd see this. I'm pleasantly surprised though. The music and graphics are great. It's almost like a more chaotic version of 2048.
This game was such a joyful time waster! The music was great, and while I wanted ton continue moving around the buildings and merging them, it was just as zen to chill out and watch it grow! Great job!
I grew a pretty big city. It was pretty zen.
Thanks!
This is really fun, it's smooth and great, colors are handled well so I wouldn't confuse too much. The only downside is blocked buildings seem hard to navigate, probably require camera rotation. But overall it's amazing! Good job!
Thanks! Camera rotation is something we're definitely adding after the jam. We hoped the zoom out into top-down would work well enough but a lot of people have struggled when bigger buildings block their view. Thanks for the feedback!
you did it, you've awakened my merging addiction. PLEASE port this to mobile! AWESOME GAME
This is, without a doubt, a game that I would play on the mobile device: simple, relaxing yet engaging, and just entertaining. I was also surprised to find out that the game is already quite balanced and doesn’t seem to be unnecessarily too random/crazy/out of control. I liked the game!
Thank you! it really does play like a mobile game and we're glad that people are feeling the relaxed vibe to the game.
Super addicting fun little game! Freat idea and well executed! And the music is really relaxing too :) Only complaint is that I couldn't rotate my camera and it is really hard to see whats going on, once the buildings get bigger
Amazing submission though!
When you zoom out the camera goes more top-down, so you can see behind big buildings. Thanks for the feedback though, we have some ideas to fix this after the jam (including camera rotation)!
Great idea and a well executed single mechanic! I would like to see more motivation added to creating new buildings and adding to the chaos, as it seems like the optimal strategy for points would be to let everything expand as slow as possible. Only played zen mode so maybe that is addressed in the challenge mode. Good job!
Thanks for the kind words!
The zen mode isn't meant to need any strategy, just some chill vibes with a bouncy growing city.
The challenge mode is where strategy becomes important. There you need to control the growth much more carefully so that the city doesn't sprawl out of bounds.
it can be pretty hard to drag the right buildings sometimes, but other than that i thought this was a cute lil idea :)
Zooming out helps (as the camera goes top-down), but this is a common problem we'll fix after the jam. Thanks for the feedback!
Very nice and unique take on the theme, loved the aesthetics and the 2048 vibes are very pleasing, Good job !
Great art, really nice work, it just drags you in. The only thing I would prefer is some way to rotate the map.
Thank you!
We'll be adding a rotating camera after the jam. We thought the zoom out to top view was enough, but it's a frequently requested feature!
If you want, can you check a rate my game. Would appreciate the feedback.
That would make pretty cool mobile idle game!
And also it's a nice refereshment from all those actionpacked frantic jam games ;)
Thanks for the kind words!
