  • VERY Dorf Romantik. I played quite a few rounds and enjoyed it. Not sure how it fits the theme... but otherwise, pleasantly enjoyable! A tutorial would be a nice edition, I didn't get it immediately.
  • Lovely game I could see myself getting sucked into. Sadly encountered a game breaking bug by spamming the "Reload" button, as the islands just stopped generating anymore.

I love the game! and the graphics really give me a cozy mood.

Heyyyy!! Thanks :)

Very beautiful and soothing! I think this is the only 3d game I've found so var that is playable in browser. The controls were intuitive, but I wish it was one growing area you were working on over time instead of different islands. This was so nice, though!

Developer(+1)

Thank youuu ! It makes me so happy to see people like the game.

I got that feedback a lot. I think I found a sloution to that. 
When our cards are finished. I will expend the island 2 square every direction. So you will have empty spaces to put and you will se your island grow.

Sounds awesome! Such a beautiful game

I like that you can choose to either take is slow or you can absolutely maximize the amount of points you get. Purple flower box combo for the win!
The music loop is a little too short, it gets a little annoying after a few levels.

About 4 levels in the economy of coins gives you too much, so you can always buy all the cards. Maybe this could be balanced by having expensive gold versions of the cards that have extra ability or combo?

For me the button to go to the next level never hides, so I can just keep clicking it and continue into levels even if i don't have the right amount of points.

This is a very solid basic game concept. You could take this and add several game modes. One one side you can have timed build, where you want to keep going to as many islands as possible. On the other side you could have a limited turns mode, where every card placement is carefully chosen for extra points.

Developer

Wow great feedback !
Economy is terrible in the game. Like people mostly wont play gamejam games, and I dont want to let them leave without seeing  the windmill and the other stuff. How they are working. That is why they all really cheap.  And you are right about the buying infinite cards. They will have some limit so you have to discard them. But I wasn't have time for it.

I actually take every feedback on my trello. And you make one giant feedback post is describing what I will going to do.
I think you have really solid points. I will update the game. Thank you for your time :D

This was a really soothing experience, I'll say wheat fields + windmills make it easy to get the desired score. It has a very polished feel however the shop screen broke on my monitor (half of it was out of the bounds of the screen), would definitely play again with some additional objectives or some form of turn limit to incentivise combo-ing your items

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your feed back.
I will check what is wrong with shop UI. I believe I will continue to work on this I hope that you would play some day :))

Submitted(+1)

Really nice-looking game! I think there should be another objective rather than only decorating the island. But overall, it was a pleasant experience, congratulations on making it!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your feedback. :))

Yeah, I can add like volkanoes, spreading fire(that was one of my ideas bu I saw some one doing it and I stopped) and such to make people stressed make them think when they are placing object. But I just want to make little chill cozy games.

 Maybe spreading nature isn't the best as theme vise but. Actually I am spreading joy to the player. ^^

Submitted(+1)

Lovely game! This was super relaxing to play!

Developer(+1)

Thank you :))

Really cozy procedural experience. Well done in such a short amount of time. Vibes.

Developer

Thank youuu :)))

Submitted(+2)

I could actually play this for hours hahaha actually so fun!

Developer(+1)

Hahahaah. I wish you could. If i can make full fledge game around :)

Submitted(+1)

This game is perfect. Its so chill and relaxing I could stay all day planting farms and trees. The only problem is that I personally find the music too repetitive, and annoys me while playing for so long. Everything else is nice, nice job dude! :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your feedback.  Maybe I should add more biomes and make them diffirent music.

Submitted(+2)

This game is super relaxing, from the music to the graphic style to the gameplay.
I'm not very sure about how the points/coins are made but I still had fun playing! I think I would've enjoyed a sandbox mode to create the most beautiful islands, but maybe that's something to think about for the future.
Congrats for the very nice entry! :)

Developer(+1)

I will going to add something like a zen (sandbox) mode as well.  Just a chill as vibes. Noting to worry about. But i couldn't work on the game as much as posibble.

This comments making me really happy actually :)))

Submitted(+1)

Very calming game! The visuals are super clean, and gamplay was very satisfying :D

Submitted(+1)

Very relaxing! Slick, smooth animation and tile placement/controls. The only thing I found myself wanting was a way to expand the viewport i.e. genuine fullscreen rather than fullscreen but remain the same size? Otherwise, a great submission!

Developer

I guess it's about itch. If you would download the game it is okay to play.

Thank you for your comment 😁

Submitted(+1)

Very cozy and cute. I'd have loved to see a bit more challenge in the puzzle elements, or more options to customize how it looked. Either way, good luck!

Developer

For sure, I will make sure that it will be challenging. I couldn't have time to balance and add more placeable objects :(

Thanks a lot :))

Submitted(+1)

Beautiful, cozy, delightful sounds and feedback as you place tiles. I'd love to see some instructional or reference UI elements added in and hope you continue to work on this!

Developer(+1)

Thank you. I think I will continue work on this game. There is a lot of good comments ^^

Submitted(+1)

Amazing visuals and sound! I like the little details such as the voxel animations when you add an item to a tile; It's clear that you put your effort on the game. Interested to see how you expand the game further in the future :)

Developer

Thanks ^^ I actually proud myself making  the game in 3 days. I have 9-5 job. I couldn't add what I want to add into the game. Even I want to quit some point. When I see these kind of commets about the game I want to do it more. You can follow me on twitter I guess I will update and share there.

Submitted(+1)

Really cute! The game just looks amazing. My only criticism is that the gameplay is a bit generic, and a lot of games are very similar to this one. That being said, it's executed very well!

Developer(+1)

Well it's just an mvp. I have a lot of different ideas about the game if I can full release.  Thank you for your kind words. ☺️

Submitted(+1)

Very cute game that takes you to a more peaceful place. Well done!

Developer

Well thank youu 😁

Submitted(+1)

The game's visuals and sound effects are fantastic, really drawing me in. It offers an immersive experience and has tons of potential for further development.

Developer

Thank you ^^ I am really happy that you liked.

I will try to do my best.

Submitted(+1)

Developer(+1)

Yeah couid be good, but only chilld vibes allowed when you play this game :D

Submitted(+1)

Developer
