  • I enjoyed that game. Nice tutorial, good puzzlish citybuilder. Well polished, nice mood, nice art, well done. My only nit pick would be that I wish I could use the middle mouse button on already placed cards, cause I would end up forgetting what needs what and produce what. The hint on the card was great, but I wish I could've done it on the placed building as well. Cool game ! Very well done and nice use of the theme.
  • This is a fun little strategy game. I could definitely see it being expanded to let different resources having multiple uses instead of just as money. One thing I might suggest is having a way to perform different actions through onscreen buttons as well as the hotkeys. Hotkeys definitely make sense for someone who's been playing a while and has a good handle on them, but in the tutorial you're asked to remember so many context sensitive mouse clicks and keys that it gets a bit overwhelming. Overall though, great game!

I was a bit confused by this game at first, but once I realized you have to place the buildings adjacently for the goods to transfer, I started to appreciate the strategizing here and I think there's potential for a high skill ceiling. It might've been easier to reach if you were able to inspect the buildings to see what their input/output is after you've placed them down, or at least some sort of guide to what they all do, but I still think what you accomplished here is impressive.

the control system slightly frustrated me, if I'm honest ^^; middle click to inspect a card but right click to put it back? and if I right click on a card while not inspecting it, I reroll it? I had a hard time wrapping my head around it. Your UI effects are really nice, but I think I'd prefer the board not to move with the mouse. Maybe make that a toggle?

HOWEVER! I love the concept and the simplicity of the core mechanics. These are definitely games to zen out to, and I wanna keep playing!

Really fun game! I survived 10 weeks. The art is great and the game fits the theme really good. The tiles could be a little bit more cheap.
