Really fun game! I managed to cheese it a bit in the second level, but the third level brought me back to reality :)

Well done!

It says page doesn't exist :(

Developer

Yeah, this is very strange. Looking into it now.

Developer(+1)

This seems to have gotten resolved now. Hope you're able to play it :)

Submitted(+2)

It is all right now :)

Interesting idea for a fragile theme. I like the atmosphere of this game. Well done guys!

Developer

Thank you :)

Developer

Thanks! And thank you for letting us know about that.

This was really neat and engaging! I love the strategy involved, and I think that the fragility of the environment is one of the best interpretations of the theme that I've seen

Developer

Very happy to hear your words on the theme interpretation and that you liked the strategic elements of the game as well. Thank you for playing and your feedback :)

One of the most original approaches to the theme. Loved the art. Every tile has a very clear and distinctive icon which is not that easy to achieve sometimes. Only issue I found is the tooltip not being completely visible when hovering over the bottom tiles. Other than that is a pretty cool game. 

Developer

Thank you so much :) Glad you liked the game design approach. The tooltip surely needs some reworking. Appreciate the feedback!

Developer

Thank you! That was definitely the most challenging aspect of creating the tile art for me. I'm glad they communicate clearly!

Was loving the music and atmosphere at the start.. then I got a little frustrated and took it out on the music! Still nice though. :)

I actually really like the simplistic tiles, it's super clear what they are. I played a few times but never managed to fill the grid (I'll come back and try again later). Only thing I would change is the tool tips which continually appear over the grid tiles, once you know where you want to place the tile I found this a little distracting.

Perhaps I didn't have a good strategy. Could you build the game up slower (with less choice of tiles at the beginning) so the player feels they are making progress?

Really good overall, well done!

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you! I understand how the game can feel overwhelming with the number of different tiles. I think introducing tiles gradually is a great idea. Also maybe the difficulty curve is a little steep to begin with. It gets a little tricky filling in the last few tiles. Will work on the tooltips as well. Appreciate all the feedback :)

Well done.

Thanks!

This game is executed quite well, really suits the theme of the jam. The graphics, music and sound effects really build up the atmosphere and have you think that the logic of between one type of a tile and another. Although I can't really seen much details when hover on any tile at the bottom and not fully understood the mechanism yet, I found out that as long as you build all renewable energy and resources tiles near to each other will not cause much or any damage to each other at last!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your kind words and feedback. Good to know that you had fun with some of the strategies in the game :)

Submitted(+3)

wow, this one feels very complete! some minor adjustments on tooltips' positions but mostly this feels very nice! it was fun to try to come up with strategies on the placement of tiles in order to win! really well done! :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your kind words :) Took a few iterations to identify a suitable goal. Nice to know that you had fun with the strategic elements of the game.

Hey this is a really neat game, perfectly scoped and well-suited to the theme.   Controls + visuals +  sound were all well executed too.

Developer

Thanks for your kind words :)

Thank you so much!

Very neat concept, was pretty fun. Once I scrolled down and read the description my second play went a lot smoother. I think the main thing was that I didn't understand the health system initially.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Fun little game! I think you have something worth expanding here.

Interresting game.  I did much better the second time :-)

Developer

Thank you for playing! We appreciate it.

An interesting game. It makes me think a little before taking action. The art is a bit basic, but did not detract from my enjoyment. The music enhances the experience. I liked it.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

The implementation of this idea is really well done. I did feel a bit lost after a bit, as I knew what impact my tiles would have but I didn't really have a motivation. Really liked the art and music too.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Appreciate your thoughts on the gameplay.

I really liked this game.  A completely unique take on the theme that still works perfectly.  It was a little hard to figure out what to do at first, some way of reducing the learning curve further would help this but once I figured it out I enjoyed it. 

Developer

Thank you for playing! We appreciate it!
