Such a pretty and cozy game! I love the style of it
Building and expanding is filled with joy.
Very relaxing game and highly replayable. I really like the art style. Possible improvements are as someone already mentioned - the UI as currently it is a bit out of place compared to the charming pixelated retro graphics and second although minor thing would be adding the possibility for moving the camera using mouse. I would definitely love to see this being expanded into a full game.
A really nice and relaxing game. The art is simply amazing. My only nitpicks are 1. the UI could look more retro it would fit the game's aesthetic better 2. the game's ruleset doesn't incentivize placing power poles near houses, as such my playthrough resulted in an ugly city with separate district for trees and power poles
Really enjoyed this. Sometimes it felt like the tiles I got given dictated a path that ended in a loss, but the process is fun nonetheless. I would have liked a little less dependence on roads, given how rare they can sometimes be.
It's a nice relaxing feeling game that's still quite challenging. Don't really have anything else to add other than nice job!
What a beautiful game! The limited choices each turn really make the city look organic. Great work!
A nostalgic tycoon game. I love the art work and the fact that you have to use youre brain. Well done!! I have also a town builder game. It's a bit different but I would like if you play my game.
Very calm and addicting. Those trees really help out when building power poles.
Nice game, with a lack of roads and an overflow of trees (not as many as in my game, but still), blocking the way for building more houses. It's easy to lose and you just want to try again. And again.
I found that I just cherry-pick the best options and hit done every round to get the best progress.
I love this game! It's so calm and nostaglic with the isometric game view and soothing music. The art is beautiful! I always get stuck when it comes to placing shops there is never enough road and houses to nest them, but I just kept restarting for the vibe. It's a lovely project :)
I would like to have more roads early game, but overall that's a nice game!
This game was really fun!!! I got to 41 tiles left then lost because I had to somehow place 3 store tiles T_T I'd like if the road tiles generated more often because without them, you're just kinda hoping to just get trees and power lines and stuff that won't depend on roads. Will def come back to this game, awesome job!!!!
Great concept, turning city builder into a puzzle works perfect as a game mechanic and fits the theme of the jam. Music and graphics work very well together and a nice polishing touch on the tooltips: they don't get in the way and explain the mechanics well!
If you are looking for any next steps to take this further, working on balancing would be the number one priority, it seems that too much is dependent on the random number generator. I too had a big issue with rolling for road tiles and could not proceed on the first play through but did much better on the second. One way to do it would be to analyse all the openings and ensure all the tiles can be placed and if the player messes up - introduce an undo action.
By adding more assets and little animation + levels in different biomes / geographies could very well lead this to be a nice full fledged puzzle game, well done!
Thank you for feedback. We've added some restrictions to tiles generator to ensure that it's always possible to play at least 4 tiles on hand if you've menaged to play all of the previous ones but our system is not perfect and if you're unlucky or unexpirienced than it still can be extremly hard to not lose. As you're the 2'nd person complaining about it we might change the tiles generator's restrictions to make the gameplay easier if we continue working on this project.
Love this city builder a small city builder where you need to plan how to build the city. So it stays scalable. In the first game, I didn't get a lot of road tiles. So I failed really quickly. The second game was quite nice. Love the game and the art style. Good job!
Very fun and very chill, while also being a brainbender! Legitimately my favorite aesthetic yet!
Ì like this chill vibes, great work!
beautiful chill game! the isometric art reminds me of Transport Tycoon.
Took me a minute to realize it's drag&drop :)
Very chill game. Could easily see this expanded into a real steam game. Has "Dorfromantik" vibes to it. Very Good Entry!
Really well-made, I see a bright future! 5/5! I’d appreciate your feedback on my project!
