I really like the idea of a "city simulation" on this small scale where you can care about individuals. Would be interesting to see it fleshed out. Maybe with a limited build area and puzzle-like elements?
There were a couple things that I think could be improved:
- It was unsatisfying to have to clear a space in my city for buildings to spawn in
- I was pretty confused about how building things even worked. Was there some currency I was using? I've read the itch page now so I get it, but this wasn't intuitive.
- The in-game text is very low contrast and the red building text especially is very hard to read.
