Very nice art and great idea to use it in a game like this. The game is relaxing and interesting, but the pacing could be improved a little.

Developer

Thanks for feedback, youre right, tempo is too slow now, I`ll work on it!

DAMN you art style is gorgeous and so inspiring 🤩
It has been several month (years ?) during which I had this idea of associated old painting/image with a game, especially using https://artvee.com/ but I don't get much out of it.
You definitly nourrish my thoughts on how it can be done !

Concerning your game, you may consider increasing the speed of wood cutting, as it's quite long.

Congrats for this innovant submission 😀

Yes I belive there is a lot of potential in using public domain art... I also had this idea in my mind for some time, but real inspiration how to use it did not come until this jam started... So Im really glad for this... Thanks so much for playing and feedback, and interesting web link!

Very beautiful game. The gameplay is way too slow and, even for this type of relaxing game.

Developer

You are right, now game is too slow now... It will definitly balance it after the jam ends...

Submitted

Very nice looking game. You've done cool parallax effect with the backgrounds. Like said elsewhere in comments, the wood production is so slow, that I got all my buildings destroyed before I could rebuild them.

Submitted

Such a beautiful looking game <3

Thank you!

This is ingenious. Graphic and originality deserve 6 stars. True hidden jam. The only complain is that wood production is so slow. Accelerate wood production, add more buildings and disasters and the game will be perfect.

Developer

You're right, its too slow... I had no time to test it properly, I`ll fix it for sure, also have some more ideas to implement... Thanks for feedback and playing!

i am playing the story it self ! WOW very unique style of games and art ! :D

well made !

Wow, I truly love this!

So nice how you cut out the images so neatly for the parallax! So nice the music and the ambiance! I gave you 5/5, this is just great. That's gonna inspire me for my own games for sure! :) Thanks for submitting this game!

Btw. noone believed the two guys when they said there was no city when they sat down that afternoon!

Developer(+1)

Hey, thanks for such kind words! Im glad you liked it - and the picture - so cool, in fact - there was already city on the the original picture... Your submission is pretty cool too btw...

Oh wow you really had to pack out your photoshop skills then to remove the city haha!
Thank you so much, I appreciate it!

Submitted

Yeah, the art style is really cool and i love games like that, but damn satan kept burning all my sawmills. Hate you satan!!!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! You can use the bucket to put out the fire!

I've never seen this style before, it's unique and I love it. I wish you could get wood quicker though.

Developer

Thanks for playing. Youre right, its too slow... Building few saw mills first could maybe help to speed it up...

Submitted

Nice! This is so cool! Need more wood faster.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for comment! Youre right, wood harvest is too slow... I also wanted to create possibility to pick up wood directly on the map - similar to HoMaM but I didn't make it to the time limit... Your game is really great btw...
