Great game. Took me a bit to piece it together but was pretty good afterwords solid 8.5/10 I liked it alot.
Cool game! Could have used a bit more tutorial. Would have been nice if you could start drawing a road from the other end.
Loved the concept and did enjoy it once I worked out how to get it to work! As others have said controls could have been clearer/less clunky and potentially would have benefited from more menu options to navigate the set up.
I like it! The controls are a little clunky, but I feel like the game is really well balanced. By just placing buildings intuitively, with no big plan, I was able to assemble a pretty cool network! In the end I lost because I ran out of energy, since I was trying to power my whole city with only four windmills. I think with a snappier user interface and smoother controls it would be a real product. Overall really nice game!
In principle, it's quite nice, and I spent entirely too much time trying to figure it out, but I concluded that I don't have enough info to do so. I always ran into energy problems and to keep that under control I always reached the house limit before I could progress. It's easy enough to cheese it and constantly remove the roads to farm some energy, but that didn't feel very intentional.
Your game reminds me a little bit of Cities: Skylines, which I like so your game was also pretty fun, but I had problems in the beginning. I didn't know you had to make roads from the main building and it took me some time to figure it out. I think the tutorial showed that but I just clicked and didn't hold. Other than that I think you did a very good job!
Took a few tries to get a hang of it, but this was fun! I did die my last run right after adding a house and I'm not sure why. I would love to see info on how/why you die after a run. Otherwise though I had a good time with it. Great work!
