Loved it, it seem there is an interaction between income from buildings and population but I don't fully get how that works. Nonetheless I still really enjoyed it and I really like the aesthetics as well, great job!
My city fired me due to “Too much pollution”. Cry baby citizens. I gave them homes and jobs. So I forgot parks… BFD. So ungrateful.
Nice city builder! I enjoyed the game play. Well done!
Who needs clean lungs anyway right! :) Thank you for playing!
Nice work. You packed a lot into this in a short space of time. City builder games are always fun to see and I like the cute visuals here. There is quite a lot to manage with pollution, taxes and economy so it definitely scratches that sim city itch. The UI looks nice and clean. I liked the little details. Some kind of tutorial or a quick start guide would be handy as there are a lot of stats and it can be a bit tricky to figure out what matters, especially for new players - but fair enough out of scope here. Solid entry and great job getting so much working, even down to the sound and music
Thank you for your detailed review!
Superb, met my gamejam genre here. Nice mouse control!Keep it up!!!
Thank you!
This is a nice world building game with cute visual aesthetic. It is impressive that you pulled this off in short amount of time.
Thank you!
World building games are always fun, I'm impressed you managed to get one made in a short time. Good job!
Thank you!
So much fun! I had trouble getting the game full screen at first and it made the UI really hard to read. Once I got through that I had a great time! I managed to fill the whole map with only a little pollution but the tax rate around 24. Great work!
Thank you! Glad to hear that you enjoyed it!
Very impressive work for the amount of time, strategy is important here. Keep getting -$$ for my first few tries. Great work!
Thank you so much for playing!
This was a great experience!
But I can not remove or chance buildings and after I placed a buildig I just realized the effect, because the informations are barely readable.
I have no pollution, but it is not profitable on 22% taxrate :S
Sooo the economy is challenging and there are wheicles on the road... for more pollution?!?
Maybe a distance between the different places are important too?!
It is a Cool game!
Check mine and rate it, if you have a time and
Have FUN :3
Nice city you built there! ;) Thank you so much for playing my game, I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it! I'll now try your game.
The full screen button didn't work. Was unable to read the text. Looks fun! (The music is good but too generic in my opinion.)
Too bad, that the fullscreen button didn't work for you, the weird thing is that for me it sometimes seems to work and sometimes it doesn't, maybe zooming in the browser will also make it more playable? Thanks for trying!
Fun city builder, there's a lot to take care of. That pollution mechanic brought me back to my old sim city days haha! The Only thing i would change is the scale of the UI.
Thanks for your review! I just played your game and left a review, very cool mechanic!
Wow, quite impressive for such a short gamejam. Nice polishing details of UI feedback and good ui in general. Its clean and easy to read. When you fail and polute too much and want to continue builing, you see how important sound for a game is, since the game goes silent after that.
It was funny that the cars just ignore all the traffic rules :) Good job on the game!
Thank you for playing! Yes, I kinda forgot to continue the music after pressing the continue button as that was a last minute addition!
The cars almost behave like in real life right! :)
I think this game can use a tutorial to help with how to play. You have so many stats for everything and I don't understand what I should be putting down and if distance matters, etc. I just bankrupt each time with what I've been attempting. It looks interesting and appealing if I could understand it.
Thanks for playing! I agree on the tutorial but since I had no time left I couldn't create one. At the start try putting down 1 house and 1 shop and then when you have the money place a second house. Also crank up the tax rate (in the panel that you can open by clicking the calculator button on the top bar) in the beginning and you will have some cash flow!
What a cool game!, maybe if you scale up the UI a bit it would of been more enjoyable.
Cool that you made a city builder in such a short time! If ui was larger, the game would play a lot smoother, had to get my magnifying glass for this one ;)
Very impressive in this short amount of time! I have a soft spot for city builders so i had to play this one!
A small settings menu for the music and SFX volume would've been a good addition! Maybe some lighting tweaks.
Overall good job on your submission!
Really solid game but even with fullscreen button was hard to read the UI for me. Was very cool and very nicely made, well done!
Thank you for playing! And thanks for the feedback!
Nice entry! City-building’s one of my favorite genres. I think it’d be cool to have multiple levels. Maybe start small with a goal of hitting 100 people, then work your way up to 1,000 as you go. It could add a fun sense of growth and challenge.
This is great! This is one of my favorite types of games and it's impressive you've been able to do in such a short time. Congratulations!
Thank you for playing!
The menus were a bit small on the screen, but I think I figured it out. I spent a lot of time on this, so it scratches my city building itch really well. I’d like a number showing how much money I’m making/loosing each tick and a guide to what the max pollution I can have (that’s what sunk me). Lots of fun!
Thank you for playing and for your feedback! Actually when you click the calculator button (top bar on the left) you can view all the details for income and spending. I hid that panel by default as I didn't want to overwhelm the player with an information overload.
Good point about communicating what the max pollution amount can be!
