Interesting mix of puzzle and town-building. I did notice one little 'bug', which is that if you click the building hud button in the bottom right while that button is hovering over an empty tile, it gets instantly placed down in that spot instead of letting you choose where to put it (in other words, it'd be better if placing wasn't possible while your mouse is hovering on the hud button). Otherwise, gameplay was smooth.

It's fun and fairly unique with a decent balance for difficulty - good job :)

Nicely executed! It felt super polished and the art was fantastic. Way to go, fellow city-builder!

Yeah, very well done! I think the polish of the graphics is what sold me. Simple scope, perfect game jam game. I have learned a lesson from you in this jam. Keep it simple. Keep it polished. Thanks for the game! - ET

Wow, this is super cool!

Overall,  it's designed in a great way. It's not too easy to meet the goals of each tile, though it's far from difficult. There's a lot to manage, and it all works incredibly well. Super cool game!

Theme is a tricky one to judge, as the town isn't inherently 'tiny', as you're always making it bigger and bigger. That said, the gameplay is 100% focused on the town, so I scored it well.

For fun, yes. This was a lot of fun. Yes.

Innovation, again, you've done a fantastic job! It's possible that I don't play enough games, but I have never played a game like this. It's genuinely an original idea all around, and I love it.

The graphics are nice too. It's easy to read, and the vector graphics all look nice.

Audio, the music fits perfectly with the 'zen' vibe that the game has.

Humor is the only category that I can't score this game on super well, but that's fine. This game wasn't trying to be funny, and any attempt at humor would come off as jarring.

Mood, absolutely. Again, the word "zen" comes to mind. The player really focuses in and loses themselves in the game. When you're focused on this game, nothing else matters. It does an amazing job at that, plus the calm music, vector graphics, and simple gameplay all work so well.

Absolutely incredible job. I have nothing negative to say.

Great game!  The calm music went well with the slow methodical puzzle game.  I must've played this for over an hour!

Glad you liked the game. Thanks! By the way my highscore is only 61 :)))
