Really fun game! Must have been a huge headache to figure out how to get the building rotation to work.
Well done! Love the art, the vibe and concept. I only wish you'd give us some hint as to how buildings give us points, though I guess that's part of the puzzle?
Cute and relaxing.
// If my understanding is correct, park is too good.
The name 'Around the Block' is disgustingly good
A charming and relaxing game! I appreciate the idea going on here, although it could use a bit more guidance to the player; it took me a bit to figure out what was going on at first and I am glad the game's description was able to help with that. Totally forgivable, though! I understand a good tutorial probably isn't highest priority for a jam as short as this one.
Nice game, love the background music
Using a Dice to build a small town is a brilliant idea. Loved the UI an presentation of the game too!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
Amazingly original concept. I loved the UI and overall the way things were put together. A place of improvement would be to add in feedback as to how different buildings proximity affects score because I felt like I was shooting in the dark trying to build it up.
Wow - thank you SO much! That's a good idea, we'll definitely add it in the next version :-)
This game is very addictive. I played this twice to see if I could get a better score.
Fantastic! What was your high score?
cool game! i think that you should continue to work on it and definitely add some kind of in game tutorial.
That's amazing to hear, we might just do that... :-)
Overall a beautiful game with nice music. If the scoring would be visualized immediately, I think it would be even more fun (e.g. numbers that pop up next to the houses).
Tysm! Definitely agreed, really like the idea of a pop up to show the amount of points gained.
Cute game. I'll definitely install mobile version)
Tysm! <3
Love the art! :)
Thank you!
Nice game! Simple, yet captivating gameplay. Beautiful graphics and no bugs in sight! My only gripe is that it is not immediately apparent that you can scroll through buildings
Tysm!! Very nice to hear you enjoyed it :-) and good point, the UI could definitely use some more work haha.
I LOOOVED the art style! Game was cute and fun, but didn't really have a lot of interaction or point, it was just nice to look at.
Tysm! <3
Building a little city on the cube is a lot of fun! The art is really good too!
Thank you! Glad you had fun!
