This is a really charming little game that felt pretty balanced. It took me roughly 10 minutes to finish my castle - but by that point my town was full of factories which made me sad :( I would love to be able to win a game like this by building a cute little town full of cottages.

Very polished game with a very nice scope for a Jam!
Really nice take on the theme. It does work insanely good for a city builder mechanic. Seems appropriate and interesting enough to construct a game around it. Art is good, game tutors itself, controls are flawless and the music is just right!
Great entry! Had fun playing!

All the feedback below haven't affected the rating.  
As a main point of improving the game after the Jam I see adding of some kind of challenge and punishment for the player. Maybe turn wise (random encounters messing with your buildings or dice to play around it) or more weight to the skipped turns (taking money away or use the decay mechanics every turn, not the successful ones), or even restricting a player by tiles (you cannot place all buildings, some of them are just too big).

Lovely game in its simplicity! A very relaxing experience overall.

The calculation phase did end up taking a long time towards the end (but that's because I focused on owning tons of barns), but other than that I enjoyed this a lot!

This feels like an NES version of a board game that doesn't exist. Pretty fun! I could definitely see potential in this idea, especially if you wanted to expand to multiplayer.

Lovely game! It reminded me of a board game called Machi Koro. The decay mechanic was interesting.

It's pretty easy as you can just build a couple of forges/factories and just hold down z but I liked the aesthetic! Maybe make it harder/take more strategy?
