Use of the limitation
The difficulty slowly ramps up; after some time. The machines themselves also fail and need to be cleared away and replaced, failure is inevitable. The theme also informed the dystopian setting of the game.
Cookies eaten
Actually none (but now that you've asked about it, I do want a cookie). I did eat a lot of sweets though.

This is absolutely phenomenal, the art looks good, the mechanics work great and there are a lot of strategies you can use for this game. Excellent game!
Though I know everyone works a lot on their projects and all participants put a lot of effort to their games, I'm always impressed by the creative outputs yall put out there. This game is super addicting, and works amazingly well. The narrative on the tutorials is funny, and it's the kind of game that keeps you playing for a long time.
Great job with this one!
The only feedback I can give is that when random structures are destroyed, it would be nice to have a text or notification kinda thing to tell you what was destroyed (because I was always like "Oh, something exploded! I have no clue what it was haha, let me keep going")
Oh, another thing. I found a bug accidentally while playing. When you use salvage drones near a building, you can keep "destroying" it repeatedly, earning infinite resources. Ancient colossus are the best option because they give a lot of resources. In order to test it, I destroyed practically all buildings I had and kept playing for some time with this setup:
Thank you for such a detailed comment, I really appreciate the feedback! It's great to hear that you enjoyed the game :)
I agree with your suggestion about the exploding buildings - that's certainly something that can be improved to make it less annoying. I'll make sure to add something to resolve that when I come back to the game.
Thanks for the bug report as well, that's super useful! Now that you've pointed out this problem, I think I know which bit of my terribly-designed code is the issue (I fixed a very similar bug right before I submitted the game). I'll have to upload an improved and fixed version after the voting period ends.
Hey! Next Great game again! It has really nice concept and presentation. What I don't like was the tutorial text "Press enter for continue" bcs If u holding your head in one hand you know... then you play the full game with a mouse :D . (Joke). Amazing game! Well done!
Wow it was really polished! good job! congrats!
Absolutely fantastic. Gameplay is simple to understand, but feels really deep and challenging to master, with a lot of decisions to be made each turn and a huge amount of satisfaction to be found in optimising resource use. I am terrible at it, but loved every second!
Atmosphere is also really strong for a management game - the soundtrack is understated but really sets the tone, matching the dystopian themes really well.
The best entry in the jam for me so far. I really don't know how you manage to do all of that in 3 days. I managed to go to 170 product delivered where i was asked for 40 glass & 60 metal, with 4 production site destroyed during the previous 2 turns XD.
Music is perfect for the game. Pixel art is nice. If i wanted to be picky i could say that a pixelated interface would suit the game better.
Great job!
Thanks for playing my game, I appreciate the feedback! I'm not really sure how I managed it in three days either, my arms still kinda hurt from all the coding!
I agree about the interface (currently all the buttons are just the Godot default ones) - that's definitely something I'll work on when I come back to improve the game.
What an impressive creation! Very well made!
Thanks for checking out my game, it's great to hear you liked it! :)
Even if it's not my genre of game i really enjoy playing it. I like the settings and the art you create is amazing! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for your comment, it's great to hear that you liked the game!
Super impressive for a jam game. I played several times and really enjoyed it. Awesome job.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
