It took me 3 tries and lots of manual reading to get the hang of it but after that it was really fun. I liked how the prices changed so I had to adapt each turn. Also it would be great to see the island closer, even with simple icons :)
I really like the random generation of the world but it does seem to be a touch inconsistent although I can see that as being part of the challenge. I can see myself playing this quite a lot and trying to master it.
I'd like more information, it would be nice to know how many resources you need in order to fully power the next turn and it would be nice to see what tiles will be lost before building a dam.
I think you could genuinely consider further development with this and make a very successful game, the base components are there, an objective system, an entire world and a global warming tracker could turn this into something truly exceptional!
Cool idea tho, got me a few tries to get it right even with the instructions but still really good when yo get the hang of it. for some reason the clean power sources wouldn't be implemented, i wouldn't let me place em anywhere. i might have messed up lol. Congrats on the submission ^^
Pretty cool concept here. It took about 5 restarts to understand. It was cool to try and balance your power plants to not be too reliant on one thing. I did accidently drown an entire city by installing a dam on a river, but at least it seemed like they still payed me :)
That was fun, nice job!
I got 1775.
I’m afraid Mac OS build doesn’t work on Big Sur. But the browser version runs on Mac just fine. The game is a bit convoluted, but props for implementing a hexagonal grid ;).
I have no idea what is going on in this game. The instructions don't explain how to play. I even watched a video on how to play Power Grid the board game and don't really see how it relates to this game.
