You have to give credit where credit is due, you’re not wrong. I remember visiting the Tower of London in 16x16 and it looked just like this

The game is really fun and I really like the genre. I think the difficulty is pretty harsh tough as having a lot of floors is basically a Whack-a-mole with every problem that can happen at once

Developer

Thank you for checking out the game! Glad you liked it :-) I definitely agree right now it gets too much (especially at low apartment block quality, which you can increase by non-stop repairing). In a larger release, the problems spawning would have be tuned down quite a lot and the plan would be to replace it with more strategic decisions, which at the moment are basically inexistant.

I really liked your game. The colors and the atmosphere in the game is very great. Especially the changes background during the time creates a dynamic atmosphere. I like the mechanics of how to kill the rats :)
