That was fun! The sepia + blue palette is striking; it fits well with the cool art. The music, unincorporated as it is, is quite somber and nostalgic.

I liked how chess-like the building arrangement mechanics were; it's very fitting with the setting! I wish there were more explicit instructions for each of the building's rules, but I figured out most of them through trial-and-error... except the square field-looking piece, I'm not sure about that one.

I'm not sure how this would be implemented, but I wish the villager movement wasn't random. It makes some of the levels feel especially RNG-based as far as achieving ideal results.

Great work!

I loved the concept of the game, I truly hope you will be able to finish it in the future and submit the final version! A little tutorial would be handy for sure. But still quite easy to understand.

Shame you didn't have time to finish this, but that's understandable, With the music looped in background, I got the full experience. The most original idea so far! :)

pretty cool game. the music didn’t play for me, but I listened to the provided files. great tunes! without a tutorial and explanation, it’s a bitt difficult to figure out what to do. also the iso perspective makes it hard to aim. maybe it would be helpful to highlight the tile the UFO is over.

Unfortunately we cannot add files until voting ends, but we'll be completing the game and uploading it as a separate project
