Fits the theme well! Probably the only city sim game in the jam ig? Lots of scope for improvement like it would be great to have things spawn where I place my cursor.

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.

Thanks for the feedback! I definitely agree with your three points, they are all things that I wanted to solved but couldn't in the time frame of the jam ::( But they are all on my todo list, for when I come back to this project!

It’s really cool to be able to follow each individual person and see what is going on with them. Also watching the city grow is nice. Pretty nice game jam project! c:

Liked it a lot, reminds me of a little thing I made a couple of years ago during lockdown to simulate a population, their needs and the spread of a disease... :D

Thank you! 

You made a disease-spreading game during lockdown?? That's evil! /j
