We loved the experience. A fun challenge which really pushed both of our skills.

Was the resolution a challenge?
3D at this rez is hard, you have to build with that in mind. I love the restriction though.

What did you learn?
loaddss! Great Jam ^_^. This was our first 3d game together.

Very interesting game! I'll admit it kinda hard to read the text but it was fun to play :) Very visually interesting too

The best part of this is just the atmosphere. I love the city sounds and the futuristic look of things. It's hard to do that in such a small space, but I think you pulled it off.

Developer

This means so much to us! So thanks for recognising it! ^_^

The cyberpunk aesthetic of this is top notch, I loved the sound effects :D

Developer

Thank you! Thank you! This means so much! <3

This was pretty cool. My favorite building was the burger building and the Casino. All in all this was a fun proof of concept. I'd love to see what this would be like in the non-64x64 environment. I think there is something really great here. Good job!

Developer

Thanks very much! Hopefully it was nearly recognisable as a hotdog place (as per the jam theme :P) ? Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

It's been a bit hard to get it (but I'm not home - and  my laptop is not a top notch one) but I really loved the atmosphere of the city - and CCTV levers up. 3D graphics - rendered in such a low resolutions - is suggestive but as others already said I'm really curious to play again your nice game with more pixel available :-) anyway - congratulations :-)

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much Marco! We're super glad that this is the general concensus, so we'll be making it happen :D

I love the cyber artstyle, it lends itself well to the chill gameplay by giving you nice visuals :)

There's a lot of ways you can expand the game from here, looking forward to seeing what you do with it

Developer

Thanks so much! Yeah I think we've got our work cut out - let us know if you have an suggestions :)

Submitted(+1)

Great job on the presentation. Really like the CCTV it'd be cool to see that used as a gameplay element of some kind.

Developer

Thanks very much! Glad you liked it. That's definitely something we'll be looking at for the future.

It is an entertaining game to be calm (chill), I like the effect of the buildings breaking, the 3d models are SO good considering the limitations, the game has been laggy in some moments, especially the audio. but I think it's my fault so don't take it too much into account. all in all, nice game, didn't expect to see a city builder in this resolution :0

Developer

Thanks so much for your feedback! The download version is better performance-wise but we do still need to look at that too. Yours is really great too :)

Submitted(+1)

This is very interesting, I think this game would strive at a higher resolution so I'd be curious on what it looks like even at 256x256. Also I felt like I ran out of buildings but I wasn't sure and I could tell there were so many cool buildings but I couldn't slow down and appreciate them (as far as I know, I may be confused haha). But the atmosphere is sooo nice and the brick sound is very satisfying. I also wasn't sure what some things did like the trees and the building that has like a funnel on top. All in all very cool and interesting experience would love to see more!

Developer

Thanks very much, yeah a few people have said that :D, so we'll be trying that post-jam.  you can choose to destroy a building by double clicking on it again if you don't like it. Thanks, I'm glad you appreciated those elements. I was really pleased with how that turned out. The funnel is a sort of landing light. The trees were decoration. Thanks for your feedback, we'll definitely be pushing it forward :)

i be honest i don't know what i am doing but somehow i have put myself in this state where my culture or power is forever full and the waste never reach max. all i do is just putting 2 culture building and 2 energy building and the game is practically running by itself. it definitely quite an ambitious game but it need some rebalancing.

Developer

Hey, thanks for playing. There is a tutorial in the menu. It is luck based at the moment, I hope you had a nice chill in the city then. I agree we will do some rebalancing post jam. I really liked your game, nice job :)

Submitted(+1)

You were right about the headphones. This game has some stellar use of sound as well as some impressive 64x64 visuals. I'm interested to see where you guys can take this.

Developer(+1)

Ah thanks so much! So glad you made time to come back and revisit with headphones! That means so much to us, so, thanks again :D

Breathtaking cyperpunk atmosphere, the variety of buildings is amazing. But unfortunately, it is sometimes difficult to understand what is happening due to resolution restrictions.

Developer

Thanks so much for your feedback Sasha. We will definitely open up the resolution a bit once the jam is over to give it a bit more breathing room. Hopefully your imagination managed to fill in some of the gaps :D Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

The visual and audio effects in this game are pretty impressive, some times it is hard to distinguish things because of the low resolution.

Does the game end at some point ? I collected over 1000k gold but the gov kept giving me money, unless I missed something.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for giving it a go. Yeah, we really wanted to push what was possible here. It doesn't end if you can keep it going. 1000k amazing :D!

Very interesting cyperpunk atmosphere. I loved the CCTV camera perspective (that random person standing between two buildings :D)

Would be interesting to see what this game could be expanded to

Developer

Thanks very much for playing! Glad you liked it. We've got a long list of things ready for the expansion of the game. if you have any ideas, hit us up :)

Submitted(+1)

CCTV was great. You can add new mechanics like in google maps where you can drop camera to a street level.
I really was missing option to select what building will be build, having 5 casino in city and cinema.

Developer(+1)

Thanks very much! YES! I love that idea :D. We plan to give users more choice when we expand the game further :). Thansk so much for playing

Submitted(+1)

I love the feeling of the busy city. The shadows, cars, and flashing lights, and changing colors all made it very visually interesting. The CCTV cameras were a nice touch. The environments are a bit hard to read, but overall, great job! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks very much, very kind of you :).

Took me a min to figure it out ... but once I did my city was cruising. 

Developer

Nice one! Thanks very much for playing :)

Submitted(+1)

Took me a minute to get my bearings.. but once I did I had a chill little city running :D

This is quite the ambitious project for such a low resolution, but I feel like you pulled it off. Nice work!

Submitted(+1)

Wow! I really like this one :)
I love the cyberpunk feel and the color palette!

I also like how easy it is to play. Great job!

Cool game! I love playing games that risks the challenge of using 3D in Low Rez Jam. 

Really cool idea, no game breaking bug and good art! 

I did have some struggles with the UI at the beginning. 

At some point, I didn't know what to do next as everything was stabilized, so I just watched the cctv (really cool feature btw, expanding it with some interaction inside the different views would add more deepness to the game IMO). 

Is there a " Win ending" to the game or is the endgame just for starring at our creations ?

Anyway, sadly I didn't have an audio output on the device I played, so I didn't rate it for now, as I really feel I missed a part of the game. I will come back later for this.

The concept is great, and the use of 3d is always appreciated.

Congrats !

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yeah, I fancied taking a risk with the art for this one, glad you appreciated that. Expanding the CCTV is definitely on our list. I think right now it's exactly that, you get to chill out in your cyber punk city you've created. Ooo audio is a big deal on this game, definitely check it out with headphones if you can. Thanks again! :)
