Anything else to add? (important controls, assets used, special mentions, etc)
Read the game describtion! You may need to download the entire game directory to run it on windows, no idea dudes, were not even able to test that since were not running windows. Its all in all probably a very buggy, unpolished mess ;)

This reminded me of the the game Reign. Very interesting minimalist game play!

Very simple but fun mechanic, and executed well :) I liked the super basic pixel art, it fit together nicely as a style. Nice work! :)

I didn't fully understand it, but that's on me, not you! Math is hard. This is a really cool idea, and I love the retro graphics! I would love to see a more fleshed out game. Keep up the great work.

thank you very much my dude, its not too much on you, its most definetly us ;) Every building influences your resources and if you go under 0 in one of them your health, which is displayed next to the heart, decreases!

Ohh! That helps a lot! :v Thank you for making such a sweet little game for us to play.

Really cool idea! Liked the math balancing! QQ, what is the heart symbol used for, and what do the symbols mean?

Developer

Oh yea these symbols were basically meant to represent resources, the hearts are your lifes. Everytime a resource gets subtracted below zero you lose one life!

Submitted

Oh that makes so much sense!!! I thought you just plain lost if you went below 0 on a resource! Thanks for the explanation!

The theme matches perfectly but the gameplay is a bit lacking, also there is nowhere that explains what those symbols on top mean. But still i understand that two days isn't enough.

yepp, frankly we werent able to use the full time since we were pretty busy, we actually had some more ideas, like enviromental plots that add some buffs if you build a certain building on them or even a happiness bar (which is partially implemented) that scales back your happiness if you build a stonemasos or a lumber hut next to a residence. but thanks for your feedback, i updated the description a bit to at least describe anything at all!
