Love the 8bit/ retro feel to the sound and the Score. The art doesn't quite match but I loved the concept of the city building mechanics.
well done team, Despite Your Directions
Great game with really cool and unique sound effects. I love the aspect of seeing your city grow the more you invest. Only issue I encountered where a few buildings would overlap and some of the sounds effects where really loud. Otherwise a very good polished game.
could do with an audio slider to lower the volume a bit in game and a larger play area as it is a bit small and cramped feeling especially when the buildings start to ammass in large numbers as you continue playing but all in all nice enjoyable clicker
A good, well done idea.
The music is a bit annoying after a while, and the buildings tend to overlap each other.
But other than that, the progress feels nice.
Very good idea for a clicker, well executed too. The small resolution wasn't the nicest experience but it all worked exactly as it should which made for a pretty fun game. Only thing I instantly noticed was some of the buttons being slightly darker or grayed out until you press them, it would be nice if once you have enough coins it could highlight the buttons that could be pressed. Overall, really good.
This feels like a great game! It's nicely done, and pretty damn polished.
The pacing feels just about right, and the different sound effects for the different upgrades makes each one feel like an achievement. It's simple and effective; there doesn't feel like there needs to be much more than this, other than perhaps a few tweaks.
The sound effect when generating gold is a nice touch but gets annoying quickly, it would be nice to have upgrades that multiply the 'generate gold' counter, and it would be nice to have different coloured buildings for variety.
Other than that, very nice job! Well done.
City Skylines has nothing on this.
This city building clicker is a fun game with some game music in the background which fits nicely with it. Purchasing different buildings for this city to give extra bonuses is a nice feature and allows for diversity in the city and helps purchase more buildings easier. I do quite enjoy the game. My only issue is the forced window size which is not even that problematic since everything is clearly visible still.
Nice work making this game.
The music is so annoying but great at the same time.
I agree with Rob
Lovely way of visualising progress with a simple aesthetic, great job!
My main issue is the way the buildings overlap each other once you get enough of them, presumably as a side effect of being placed down randomly. If you wanted to get fancy, you could maybe have it so that if 2 buildings overlap instead of placing the new one it upgrades the old one to a skyscraper or something, giving the same amount of money over time but taking up less space.
