I don't think the rotate control works. I'm also not really sure what I'm supposed to be doing. Very good art and sound though.

Try holding down RMB and moving it sideways to rotate the view :) 

Ohhhhhh. I thought it would rotate the tile I'm holding so that the door of a house could face a specific way or something.

Fun game. Really liked the atmosphere and the visuals are nice. 

Some tiles seemed to act different in the same situations? Would be cool if you could check rules of tiles after you've unlocked interactions.

Love the atmosphere in this game, the ambient sounds with the soft colors make a really relaxing scene. I was a bit confused at the start and the game could maybe benefit from a tutorial but I enjoyed it regardless. Cool submission!

Very fun. I love city builders and would love to play this game with more polished mechanics!

Really polished looks and fun mechanic! Took me a couple minutes to really get all of the interactions.

Nice Job - Similar to Islanders I guess. Very chill which is a nice break from most of the other games :)

I was getting all ready to really like this game. And then I went down in the description to see how the scoring works, only to find that you're not telling me. And we transitioned from cool citybuilder/puzzle/optimization game to game of randomly clicking on things and hoping it works. You're right that not knowing the rules makes me feel not in control, but it makes me feel so not in control that I don't want to play.

No worries mate, I totally see where you're coming from! Initially I did have some more stuff planned that might've made the game more enjoyable for you, but as things usually goes in game jams the time flies too fast. So this is what I ended up with - and I'm actually quite proud of it anyways :) Hope you find some other games that are more up your alley!

Really relaxing game. I like the atmosphere you've created. Not sure if I really ever felt like anything was "Out of Control", but it's still a fun game in its own right.

very relaxing, took me until the second playthrough to figure out what I was doing, but very fun nonetheless

Very relaxing, I like the art and specially the sounds.

Submitted(+1)

This is really cool! The concept is very nice, and it’s a very calming game to play along. The sounds, point system, and art are all amazing!

Submitted(+1)

Great work! I like how the player needs to discover how to score in the game by themselves

Submitted(+1)

At first I didn't like it because I didn't know what I was doing, and then I realized the game is figuring that out and now I love it. The art, audio, and placement mechanic is all incredibly well done.

Amazing! Very relaxing. Well done.

Really cool! I enjoyed the nature ambiance and the interesting gameplay. Good job!
