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.

amazing game
Awesome game! So polished! I don't have any critiques really I guess it maybe is a little hard but I'm not to sure I'm not great at this types of games either way.
really liked the music and the aesthetic of the game.
appreciate that!
I'm glad you liked the music! Me and swag worked together to make MaelTropolis and I was responsible for making the music, cover art and models. Hope you enjoyed!
Very polished game! Great job! :)
I really really love the aesthetic of the game. Very well done in designing it. Im very impressed!
If only you could lower down the difficulty of the game. I could enjoy and spend more time playing it. It's kinda hard to manage the town and deal with the frequent natural disasters at the same time.
Incredible work at the end! Bravo
Really incredible art and game design. This game was a lot of fun to play. Really incredible job especially in 7 days. Really impressive work here.
Wow! The effect was amazing, the earthquake the acid rain... the smooth controls and the animations... I can tell there's a lot of work went into building this game. This feel like a complete game!! If I didn't know if this is for a game jam and I saw it on app store I won't question it at all. Absolutely stunning. I died the first time on earthquakes because I was busy repairing other buildings and when the middle one needed repair, I ran out of materials and just stare at my little plot of land to go down. Maybe starts out easier would help? All 5 stars!!
The game is nice and engaging! Quite hard, though. I felt like difficulty scales much faster than I'm progressing (I was only on the 2nd main building level when Maelstrom happened). The visuals and music are amazing!
I also caught bug with negative values on my first run
Amazing game I won't lie. I have played few times and everytime I failed by accidentally removing people from generating stuff.
It's one of the best games I played this jam and only 35 rates (for the time of me righting this) is a crime. Animations are very smooth, mechanics are very simple but effective and well made and sounds and music are pleasant to hear and I like them a lot. UI is easy to read and the help button is surely helpful but the text on the platforms when Player upgrades the buildings can be hard to read, it's very bland.
There are very few things I found to be annoying. Music is VERY loud but is a minor inconvenience and I would add simple slider in the main menu screen. Other thing that I didn't enjoy is how you add/remove survivors from the building.My idea is pretty simple to fix it: Player can assign people in the build menu. This way Player won't destroy their economy by simply repairing the structures.
And this happened...
Earthquake destroyed the storage unit and somehow I created the negative number of wood and iron :)
What I mean with survivors is you can always change the number of people in a building and it can for example halt wood production (from 10 people it goes to for example 5 because Player because buttons are always active)
Very stressful management game. i felt my hair getting grey by the second. i like the artstyle, it feels like your own. and the music is a bit too loud but thats an easy fix. Its a very good fit for this theme keep it up!
Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad to hear that the art style resonates with you and that the game's theme of "stress" comes across strongly. Thank you again for playing and sharing your thoughts!
Very good game, especially the graphics, music and animations. Cool you added mini tutorial window, because i didn't know what I am doing at first.
I don't see anything bad except that music is a little too loud comparing to "text sound" at the beggining.
Good job!
Thank you! I am aware of the audio issue, if the game gets future updates I will be sure to audio mix the game better!
Just rated your game and your graphics are very good as well!
what a good graphics!!
Thanks!
Nice game with nice aesthetics! Good Job!
Thank you very much!
Fantastic game with fantastic polish, a really great entry to the jam, you should be proud of this game!!
Thank you! I am :D
Amazing game!!!! I actually spent a LONG time playing it, even after the f**king maelstrom.
Beautiful graphics and music, good gameplay, pretty hard, bordering in unforgiving.
It was fun, great job!!
Thank you for playing the game so much really makes me day :D
Neat game, the style is really interesting. The disaster events were a cool element and the UI was great. Very polished look, nice work!
Thank you for your kind words about the game! I am thrilled that you enjoyed the unique style and found the disaster events to be a cool addition. I worked hard to create a polished UI that enhances the player experience, so we appreciate you taking notice of that. I also gave you some feedback and rating!
Gorgeous graphics, very pretty game!
I believe I encountered a bug during my play: an earthquake destroyed my storage, and I was then unable to accumulate resources, the values being glitched into the negative.
I apologize for the storage bug that you encountered. I attempted to fix that issue, but unfortunately, it ended up causing an even bigger problem(the current one). I ran out of time to address it before the deadline, so I apologize for any frustration it may have caused during your gameplay. I hope you still had a fun time though!
Everything about this game is perfect, well done!
Thank you :D I also left a rating and some feedback on your game!
Good general visual look in this game, well done!
