Very well polished game! I had a lot of fun playing this and everything this was so aesthetically pleasing, one this I wish would be better would be if the days were a little slower as by the time I managed to get to one of the floating islands the day had changed. Overall though, great game and great submission!

pretty game with great polish. i think the game should display how many days the whole process took, making the player seek a better score the second time. Great entry overall

That's such a good idea! Thanks for the feedback :)

This was so well polished and interesting to play! Great execution on this idea. The art and music fit really well together. It would be interesting to add people walking around maybe trying to stop you or building more buildings. There could also be some sort of pollution (noise, light, or smog) that you are also trying to get rid of.

Love those ideas! Really appreciate your comments :)

The art is just amazing. I enjoyed the game so much that I played it twice (actually finished the second run with 58 health). I feel like the game is not balanced at all, so maybe you could add a new iteration later on, because you can easily beat the game by just picking up molotovs and destroying random buildings, not even thinking about the other items. And, if you do take into account the other items, picking up the blue ones (which makes days longer) literally hand you over the game, it gets too easy because: longer days = more pickups, which at some point lets you pick up everything on screen in one day.

Loved it nonetheless :DD

Lol, you're 100% right. I had to code most of this in one day, so I basically skipped over playtesting. I was afraid people might be a bit confused, so I made it pretty easy (way too easy, in hindsight)

That was a great game but I don't know how it is related to the theme.

please also play my game https://itch.io/jam/blackthornprod-game-jam-3/rate/900309

The less buildings there are, the more power/ability you have. Also, it's heavily related to ideas of minimalism (ex. cutting out bad food, distraction, and waste in order to improve quality of life). Thanks for playing!

The art on this is super clean and I really enjoy the idea of a run each day where you get 30 seconds and you gotta dash to get all your materials and starting burning it all to the ground! was super fun! Awesome work!
