This thing was so good! Very beautiful experience, from the art to the gameplay. Here's a link to my playthrough... https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1757910158?t=01h37m29s

How does your game fit the theme?
Each day's end is a new beginning. Your goal is to advance from age to age, but the planet goes back to Prehistory every morning.

I wrote all the code from sctrach. The art is made by @QueenDragon.

Thanks a lot, very glad you liked it! Great to see a playthrough with some commentary :)
Thank you!
I understand all of the things you mentioned, but just like you're saying, it has to do with the strategy as well as the story. I think it's important that old resources are needed even in the later ages to force the player to stack up on them and manage them more wisely.
Not sure how I could let the player know what they need in the future - giving them a list of resource-amounts would make it a bit too easy :P.
Really well made, one of my highest-rated ones for a reason! :)
The game goal, loop and mechanics are really well made and had me hooked. Even when I was aaaalmost there at around day 10, I just missed it by that much. But because I was so hooked I tried again and again, thinking this time my tactic was perfect.
Well, I think I can safely say I didn't end up in the top 10 on the high score list x)
Good job! :)

Well played! And thanks a bunch :)
Yup, it is one of those games that can be failed on the finish line. Glad you didn't give up!

Thanks a lot!
So many people are suggesting this, and I understand why. But I believe that this forces the player to plan ahead and makes it a bit more challenging. And farming the same resource for an entire day is even one of the mentioned gameplay tips :).
