How does your game fit the theme?
The end of the world leads to the beginning of a new one.
With each loss, the player has the opportunity to learn from the mistakes of the previous world and create a better, more resilient city, which is integral to the gameplay as the game is meant to be very hard making multiple playthroughs a core aspect of the gameplay loop.
After the end of each disaster, your city will be in ruins, starting the process of rebuilding a stronger city (From the ashes rises a stronger city).
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All the code is written by me. The music and models are created by DeejayTM(the game developer I worked with). The exceptions are the water shader and SFX's which are not mine.

Wow! This is such a great work! Looks super appealing and fun! Congrats!
Thank you!
The amount of polish is incredible! Crazy amount of work done in a single week! Great music and art too!
Thanks, I spent roughly 12 hours a day on this game thank god it paid off :DD. Also, the premise of your game is pretty neat.
I like this game. It gave me feeling of liminality and despaire, and this is great. Also earthquakes are too op, it destroyed my whole city :D
Very interesting idea and game design, it could be possibly expanded to whole big strategy game or something. Very interesting and well made!
P.S Please rate our game too, we worked really hard on it
Thanks! If I expand upon this game I will certainly balance the game out more! Also, I rated on your game already!
Oh, I am sorry, Im tired(
It's fine :)
I love sounds and game design!! I'm not good at this game, but this game makes me try many times with fun
Glad to hear that! Trust me you will get better over time as well as the game being more fun the more you play due to your increased skill :)
Seems like a really cool concept. Nice VFX!
Thank you for the compliment! I must admit that the premise for my game was inspired by "Frostpunk," so if you're looking for a similar game, I highly recommend checking it out.
Really nice game. The graphics are amazing as well as the music. The little sound effect and the text was nice when an event happened to convey the importance. Managed to figure out how to do everything without needing the help button which was really good game design on your part and the addition of the help button was also great.
Thank you for the kind words about my game! The graphics and music were definitely important elements to me, and I'm glad they stood out to you. I'm also happy to hear that you found the game design intuitive and were able to figure things out without needing the help button. However, I must admit that I am still surprised and impressed that you were able to do so. Thank you for playing and for the feedback!
Really cool honestly. I think am hooked.
Great to hear that you're enjoying the game!
This is sick!
Thanks!
This was super good. Great job.
Glad to hear it
Really great gameplay! Loved how fast the gameplay was which made it hard in a good way. 10/10
Glad to see you enjoyed the game so much :D
Amazing looks, amazing music, and amazing gameplay. Really addicting! A bit slow on how to get started but you will get to catch on in a bit, Almost addicting!
Only Issue is the volume but you can just simply turn down your volume.

Very fun game, but volume was not adjustable. Turned down my volume and that was that.
Interesting concept with lots of micromanagement. Fits my style quite well.
Overall, good game, good game.
Thanks! I am aware of the volume issue and I am glad you found a solution to it.
Wow, this Swagturtle person is so good at making games. I heard he is the paragon of intelligence and the epitome of handsomeness. Rumor has it that if you give his game 5 stars, he'll personally grace your doorstep with the most coveted reward of all - 3 glorious baked beans.
Very well done game! Did not expect to see a game like this in this game jam but you managed to pull it off! Very relaxing, fun, and polished as far as I see!
Thank you so much for your kind words, I am glad you enjoyed the game! It was definitely a challenge to create something unique within the time constraints of the game jam. Thanks for taking the time to play and leave feedback, it means a lot!
In my opinion, the theme matching is not that great but other than that the game is great.
What I recommend adding:
1) ESC menu
2) button to quit the game (at the moment Alt + f4).
3) difficulty option (maybe just easy and hard).
I find myself playing it in the future too if the game gets updates.
I agree and was in fact planning to add your suggestions, but due to time constraints I was unable to add these features :c and thanks for your feedback!
Okay. Great job still and a great idea. I wish you good luck in the jam!
Are you planning on updating the game in the future?
Sadly no, as I have another big project in the works which demands a lot of attention.
If the game would have those features then you would get one more "game design" point.
Makes sense, but I hope it was enjoyable regardless.
Sure, it was.
This game is very polished!
Thank you so much! I put a lot of effort into making sure everything was as smooth and polished as possible, so I am glad to hear that it shows.
Yes very nice! You have done a great job
yo man this is really good i might come back and play it again because it was so relaxing
Thank you!
I really love the theme of this, super polished, and the stingrays swimming in the water were a really nice detail! As you said, the game is hard, but it still kept me playing for a while!
Really glad to hear that!
Very polished game for a jam, I hope you guys make a full release 🙂
Thanks! This, however, will most likely not be a full release as I have another big project in the work.
Regrettably, I accidentally forgot to remove my developer tools from the game in time for the deadline. If you press T or G, time will slow down or stop, and R will reload the game. To enjoy the full intended experience, please refrain from using these keys, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
