Really fun game! Must have been a huge headache to figure out how to get the building rotation to work.

Well done! Love the art, the vibe and concept. I only wish you'd give us some hint as to how buildings give us points, though I guess that's part of the puzzle?

The name 'Around the Block' is disgustingly good

A charming and relaxing game! I appreciate the idea going on here, although it could use a bit more guidance to the player; it took me a bit to figure out what was going on at first and I am glad the game's description was able to help with that. Totally forgivable, though! I understand a good tutorial probably isn't highest priority for a jam as short as this one.

Amazingly original concept. I loved the UI and overall the way things were put together. A place of improvement would be to add in feedback as to how different buildings proximity affects score because I felt like I was shooting in the dark trying to build it up.

cool game! i think that you should continue to work on it and definitely add some kind of in game tutorial.

That's amazing to hear, we might just do that... :-)

Overall a beautiful game with nice music. If the scoring would be visualized immediately, I think it would be even more fun (e.g. numbers that pop up next to the houses).

Nice game! Simple, yet captivating gameplay. Beautiful graphics and no bugs in sight! My only gripe is that it is not immediately apparent that you can scroll through buildings
