Enjoy & Have Fun!
My first project was too big scope so made another idea quickly and created this in 4 days. I hope not too bad and you can enjoy it 馃槉!
PS: I can not win any prices during the Game Jam as Host, but I would appreciate any feedback on the game and appreciate your ratings馃槉!

Thank you 馃槉!
The walls of text were a bit because of the time constraint. But you are totally right. Give the information while playing would be much better. When a new tile arrives just explain what it does and maybe a more expanded tooltip when you hover the tiles with a short summary.
Nice you had fun playing the game 馃槉!

Thanks for the positive feedback 馃槉!
It should indeed be a bit quicker pace wise and adding some extra tiles and maps would also be a nice update that I could do. Thanks for the tips!

Thanks 馃榾!!
Glad you enjoyed playing 馃榾!
The info could indeed be better distributed instead of only tutorial. On first presenting would a nice update for the game and the player will better know the current tile options.
The pause was to let all animations play correctly. If I had the time I would have coded it better/more efficient with some other Coroutines than I used now. Was a bit of a hack and can understand it is a bit too much when you play the game for a longer period. Check!
Thanks for these tips and feedback!
Thanks for your kind words 馃榾!
Glad you liked it 馃榾!
90 was indeed maybe too much. Especially for a game jam game. Used that to make it more of a challenge. But someone already gave the tip for a possible future update to let the player choose a board size. 50, 75, 100 etc.
And info in the tooltip of the tiles is also a good suggestion. The main info is in the tutorial screen now and you can not read that during play. Having it on the board on a hover would be nice indeed. Thanks!

Thank you 馃槂!
Glad that you had fun.
Would indeed be a nice feature for a possible future update to turn around and look at it from different angles.
I agree. Will have to go back again but also a random island might be good too. Once you鈥檝e got a strategy that works, having a different shaped island might give some variety. Or even different islands with some fixed constraints already placed, like sections in the middle that cannot be claimed. A lot of possibilities here.
