Super relaxing and enjoyable strategy game! Everyone should give this a go!

Developer

thank you a lot

This is what I ended up with at the end of the game, i probably should of pushed myself to make villages but I didn't feel like there was anything really driving me to do so other than the score. Nice game with an intersting idea.

Very cool game, really loved the strategy aspect of it, thinking up ways to be able to go from anywhere to everywhere and distributing people was tons of fun. The game is well polished, it plays like a finished, complete product, which is very impressive for something made within a week. I do wish the game was a bit easier to get into as I had no idea why it was complaining at me trying to move places at first. But once I figured out the basic mechanics, the game was really good. :)

thank you for playing! We should make a better intro (:

Very nice entry for the jam! Really refreshing to see a strategy game as these are quite rare for these sort of game jams I find. Great work all round, the game worked well, had no issues and I enjoyed both the visuals and the audio. It would have been nice to maybe have a 'simulate' or 'complete' button at the end as I totally filled available space with quite a few days remaining then just had to keep skipping days to reach the end. Great work in a short space of time though, good job :)

Here's my final result:

Oh my, I did not think about that! We should definitely add a way to skip through the day, thanks!

i like that game but it's so hard I got stuck at first and didn't know how to play, adding more notes or instructions. but overall  its nice game love it <3

Developer(+1)

I agree (: we wanted a better tutorial, but with very little time on our hand it was not an option during the jam. I'll be sure to take this issue to heart and fix it when the competition is over! (:

Submitted

Great!The game is interesting and really challenging!

Submitted

Love the art style and the mechanics of keeping humans together, fantastic work! I could see this game being developed much further and becoming a huge thing! :) 

Submitted

this is a really fun game I love it, and the music is relaxing, I'd love to see how it would be possible to expand the island, anyway Great job! :D

Submitted(+1)

This is a really good and polished game, I'd love to see how it would play with more rooms and progression!

Developer

Thank you (:

This was a fun game about starving people to death on every playthrough!

Developer(+1)

I really tried to not starve them but they like rocks so much!

Submitted(+1)

Really fun game with solid visuals and music - could do with a bit more challenge I think - something to force you to relocate your villagers or add more strategy to their placements rather than placing them and leaving them as is.

Developer

I agree (: our first two ideas about this issue one of our teammates brought to life was either to have enemies or natural disasters affecting the player! Sadly, time constraint and the amount of thinking it would have taken to get it right was not a possibility

Submitted(+1)

The music is very calming, the artstyle is great! Would love a bit more explanation in game, but overall cool little experience, would be a great game to expand upon with more stuff and polish!

Submitted(+2)

I really like the "Don't go alone" mechanic and it fits well with the theme! the art and music are on point. A little more variety in building types would have gone a long way, but overall great work!

Developer

hey thank you (: I had unfortunately very limited time to code and make the game art (around 3 full days and 2 hours in the other days) so I strived for the feel and experience more than the diversity! It sure needs more building, like an energy tower and a mine! (both where drawn, but didnt have the time to implement them)

Submitted

No worries! I personally think you guys should continue developing this one! The concept is there and it is unique enough to stand out!

Developer

thanks a lot!

I enjoyed the sound design and the graphics of the game, very chill game.

Developer

thank you (:

Submitted(+2)

Although this type of games aren´t my favourites, it is so well done. Cool graphics, nice music, and a relaxing dynamic. Good job.

Developer

glad you liked it!

Submitted

Really nice little game with charming graphics and music. More buildings could make the game a bit more interesting, but great game nonetheless.

I really liked the game, and how you have to move using your characters as a bridge, but it can be a bit confusing the first few minutes of how to start playing

This is our game in case you want to play it, feedback is very welcome!

thank you for your feedback! (: it sure would have been nice to have more explanations. I had some ideas on how to explain things in a cooler way but had very little time to work on the game sadly (around 3 full days and 2 hours or so the other days)

Submitted(+1)

Love the style, gameplay, sounddesign, everything!
I was a bit confused at first but after a minute i understood how it worked.
Also positively surprised by the amount of polish! did not encounter any issues while playing.

Developer
