Like some others here, I didn't make it very far into the game. I think the pace should definitely be sped up a bit. I do like the idea here, though!

Submitted

Not sure if I should have waited longer, but i would have expected some more to do in the early game. Got to around 500 in budget and still nothing really happened or changed.

I actually really like the concept of inflow and outlaw of cash being separate in a management game and think it has real promise. Also having to grow to demand rather than budget does add more thought required.

Submitted

Balance is off, nothing really happens for ages. And I'm not really sure how this is any different from a city builder except you have to build what someone else says which just removes the only good part of city builders. 🤔

Submitted

quite slow in the early game, haven't got anything new for 5-6 minutes... still a fun idea, and i enjoy the simple art!

Submitted

I played for a few minutes but never unlocked any other buildings. I kind of like the idea though.

Submitted

Really enjoyed building up the city. Would be interesting to see you having to finesse the budget a bit more, really get into the behind the scenes of city management and building. Left me wanting more game. Good stuff.

It's an interesting implementation of the theme. I'd like some background music while playing but it's okay. Good job!! :D

Loved it

It doesn't load on the web version, so I tried downloading it but my browser blocked the download. I'm not sure what's the problem but it's the first time that my browser does something like that and it happens just with your game. I recommend you contancting the GMTK Jam team and looking for a solution. I would be sad if after making the game people cant download it. Good luck!! :)

seems like itch has fixed the issue now! i was worried for a bit but i wasn't the only one affected

Submitted

Seems like a lot of games have the issue of not loading on the web. I played the windows version, the game fits a more idle style game. I think this would fit with more content and more things to do while waiting. I let it run in the background as I play other jam games and just spend all my money once in a while.

I can't play the web browser version, games that have that tend to get more clicks. I like the art and idea for it though!

The Game Looks Fine. The Colors Clash A Bit, The Gameplay Doesn't Really Exist And Also... Doesn't Really Fit The Theme The Best. That All, Hope You Keep Making Game And Having Fun!
