Thank you, and I'm glad you enjoyed the game! I agree, the introduction to using point-and-click with the items could have been clearer. I'd originally planned to highlight the toolbar item, and then show a cursor at the location to place it, but didn't have time to implement that.
Great job with coming up with an idea on the theme! Definitely had fun playing this.
Thanks for playing! And I'm happy you had fun, that means the game served its purpose :)
Original idea and well executed!
The audio is used in a fantastic way.
Congrats on submitting your first jam game!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed how the music tied into the rest of the game.
Great Job! works as intended and is fun! only thing that was kinda anoying, is that sometimes i had to click a lot of times to use the icons.
Thank you for the feedback! Yes, the clickable area on some of the icon placement sprites was definitely a bit too small; I'll be sure to use larger hitboxes if I do future point-and-click style games.
The issue i experimented didnt involve the clickeable area, and had more to do with something happening, after you place something, say a flower, that prevented future clicks for a while.
Oh, I see. Unfortunately I can't resubmit, but I'll take a look to see why the toolbar isn't immediately available after placing an item. Thank you for the feedback!
Love the sound effects, and even though the art is not good in a common way I still love the heck out of it. The number of stages were staggering too.
Thanks so much! I am not a digital artist by any stretch of the definition, but I'm glad the graphics still had some charm.
Nice job, especially for a first game! Definitely got a satisfying feeling watching the ruined buildings transform into rejuvenated green spaces, especially in combination with the audio. Also a really unique mechanic; I haven't played a game like this before!
Thank you! I had a lot of fun thinking up what each building's "solar" form would look like, so I'm happy you enjoyed watching their transformations.
Great game! Loved the sunlight mechanic. The sound design is definitely the cherry on the top.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the game and the audio.
