omg. I love the little gnomes walking around!
Very fun! i liked it
Neat concept! I like how you’ve mixed literal balancing gameplay with management. I could use a bit more feedback on what I’m doing, but otherwise, this is a solid entry!
There are some other "balancing on a scale" games, but this one stands out to me. I like being able to chose what to place. The placement is precise, and I like the blend of light city builder! I would have liked a little more feedback on current balance to min/max a bit more, otherwise great game had a lot of fun!
Love the game. Very fun and great take on the theme. Seeing my little city fall off was very funny
Adorable little game! Had a bug where the gnomes were getting stuck on one of the trash heaps but overall it was super cute!
I did forget which buildings were which sometimes. Would have been nice if i could hover over a building to see what it does again!
Yea we didn't have enough time to add that, we did add building descriptions to the itch page to compensate...
It’s a very interesting and creative idea, I think it’s not related enough to the theme BUT LOOK AT THE LIL GUYS.
I love how polished this is, you def didn’t bite more than you could chew so this turned out actually fun!, the actual physics are pretty fair and easy to deal with, not too challenging.
I love the music and the art, def the best part of the game.
Overall, nice entry!
I think both me and macro were very satisfied with the Lil Guys specifically yeah, haha.
We both essentially had the same idea for what they should look like :>
A silly little game full of silly little guys. Really impressive how polished and fun it is. My only minor complaint is that sometimes you can place building where they probably shouldn't be able to be placed(clipping inside of other buildings).
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.
