Your idea is very creative, besides being very easy to understand, I spent a lot of time playing it, it is very addictive and very fun

Fun game, but the randomness makes it so I can't build a village properly :(

The randomness can create fun islands, but can also limit them. I might add a creative game mode later, letting you decide what tiles you get.

nice, maybe you could add levels, still fun

Hey, how do you think I could implement levels?

when i was playing i tried to have all houses connected like a neighborhood although the randomness sometimes meant that I couldn't finish them

I really liked this unique concept ! The art is great and so are the relaxing mechanics ! My two cents of suggestions :

  1. Please surround the island with a good toon-ish water shader, it will elevate the scenery so much more (could be a post jam idea)
  2. Add a nice bgm to this, it will elevate the experience x100 
  3. Maybe add a mechanic where the roads need to connect and all the houses need to be connected (be around) roads to win the level, and it could get progressively harder (another post jam idea).

Overall a really strong entry!

P.S. I would really appreciate if you could rate my entry too !

Thanks !

In the early hours of game-jam I was also thinking of making something like this with proper mechanics but scraped out that idea due to time limitation art style is very good it has a lot of potential, You can even make it into a mobile game with this much elegant graphics and proper mechanics (Some I though for this jam were giving scores based on how neatly player formed city) This idea is very very similar to me All the verybest I will sugest you continue to work on this 


Also do rate my game :)
