I really liked the way the gameplay balanced getting new workers and building new buildings to get more resources. There was a lot of thought I had to put in for what I chose to do at any given time, so it had a good amount of strategy as well.

Makes me think of fallout shelter. The music loops a bit weird sometimes but other then that very good game!

It's a minimalistic and relaxing management game. Just my type of game! I wish the hitbox of the workers were a bit bigger because I sometimes have trouble dragging them.

Another full rate game for me, The most engaging experience I have had so far in jam.

Fantastic and easy to pick up! Also very polished! I have only lasted 8 min so far but definitely going to come back--my problem is that I spend too much time and too many workers getting extra workers and not actually working LOL

That was a fun one! Pretty addictive as you figure out how to manage resources. Definitely played a couple times to find the best strategy. Lovely job!

I really enjoyed playing this game! I found that you really have to be mindful and watch everything closely in comparison to some other games, because the rooms take so long to be "ready" it's hard to quickly pivot your strategy to adjust if you notice you're getting low on something. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing though. The game gets hectic very quickly, in a good way, and you really need to stay on top of managing your people. I found the game easy to understand through the design, without needing a full tutorial. 

The one issue that I did run into would be that the people you're managing are really tiny, and it's hard to quickly aim to grab them and move them where they need to go. I also missed the ability to zoom in, but I don't think it would have helped anyways since you need to stay zoomed out to see the whole map. I think having the workers be a bit bigger would smooth out that one wrinkle in an overall great game.

Nice game about managing resources.

The rhythm gradually increases as the game goes by, and the countdown increases the pressure on us as we keep clicking everywhere, trying to not waste anything.

Very systemic in nature, which is a nice thing for a jam.

Very enjoyable resource management game! I was able to pick up the game pretty quickly on my own too!

Love management games. Really wanna make something like this next year. The mining was a bit micromanagementy for my taste though.

Very nice game :) It's addictive to try and balance every thing on once, and the visuals are good ! Good job 

Submitted(+1)

its great! love the concept, and once you get some more people, it becomes really hectic tying to keep up with everyone and always collect resources, i love it. the only problem i had was that the workers were a little too small, so it was a little hard to click on them sometimes.

Developer

thank you! Also you can zoom in and out with the mouse wheel (but the game doesn't ever tell you that haha oops)

Really cool mechanics! Love how I had to balance everything and multitask, really great experience! Personally, the music felt a bit cluttered, but still enjoyed the vibes. Also, I thought that I would collect the metal by just clicking on the box, so it took me a while to figure out that I had to move the workers back to the red box (although this wasn't a huge issue). Really nice take on the theme though, great job!

Really great game! very clean art, great sounds. very solid, very easy to understand (something that isnt that easy xD). a bit tiering to move the mouse so much but really good. GJ! :)

Submitted(+1)

Loved the music and the vibes. It got a little difficult to micro the resources as the came available, but I did like the intensity scaling up

Effective little management game. Feels good to build up a giant tower over time (although I had to restart once because I ran out of resources). Simple, but fun! Great work, loved the take on the theme. Music was great!

whats the brown workers forThis may contain: a monkey that is standing in front of a swimming pool with its mouth open and tongue out

they are the unskilled workers, every worker can work in every room. But the coloured ones are twice as efficient in the rooms of their colour. I send brown hats out to find more workers

really like the game
