LOOK AT THOSE FUNKY LITTLE GUYS GO! Extremely creative and enjoyable! It takes a bunch of themes from games i love and mushes them together :^)
the music went along pretty much perfectly with the game. i wasnt sure what i was supposed to do or what i was looking at, at first. then i figured out how to stack buildings and my resources started growing. it was fun to balance the scale though but eventually one of mine fell off the scale and that made me go bankrupt
Watching my gnome utopia crumble into oblivion as houses and my gnomizens slide off into the mountainside was the second most traumatic moment of my life.
My only suggestion would be tweaking scoring values on the buildings since my economy initially boomed by stacking a bunch of houses/offices.
Final score: 3130
I am sorry for helping to creating the second most traumatic moment of your life. Next time I will do better!
style sounds good, it remind me that's not my neighbor
Such a creative and funny take on the theme. Really liked how the city grew and then trying to cram each new unlockable onto the scale before ultimate demise...
we love upside-down parks here haha
Great art style. The mechanic of balancing your buildings is an interesting take too. Really good for a jam game, GG!
very clever use of the theme! Nice mechanics too. enjoyed it
Build a city on scales :)
Build a city on scales :)
Amazing game !! simple to understand and addictive ! It does not feel like it was done in a few days.
Later buildings could have a better color coding to explain what they do but the game is quite good as is!
Haha I love what you have done with the concept. It really puts things into scale. Fun little city builder, good job!
Super, fun and creative. Great interpretation of the theme.
Really creative and thrilling. Not really my genre but the possibility of losing it all from one bad construction made it a fun experience nonetheless. Maybe have a pause screen (or just on the game page) to show what buildings do what because I forgot almost instantly :(
good idea, the tutorial stuff was implemented maybe 2 hours before the end of the jam haha, so it isnt as fleshed-out as id like it to be.
haha yeah I tend to forego tutorials as well until the deadline. Also, maybe not my place to suggest as it is your game, but you can still edit the game page and just add descriptions for each building there. Either way, solid work
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll add it shortly!
Wow, this game fits the theme perfectly! The physics simulation gave me a lot of surprises. It was fun
really enjoyed this, would like it if the camera moved up when i placed alot of building
You can move the camera up and down using W/up and S/down :>
Nice game ! Loved the mixed concept of balancing and city building. The mood of the game is comfy. Room for improvement but solid entry!
Super funny, sold my soul to gnome insurance.
Really great creativity!! the art went really good with the gameplay!!
Nice Concept, I like to place buildings carefully like childhood toys
This was super fun to play!
