Software used
Godot Engine, Beepbox.co, Audacity, Adobe Spark, Paint 3D (occasionally for simple editing), Google Fonts (to get my font).

Use of the limitation
There is a one minute timer that challenges the player. The player can buy a reset for the timer though, but they have to manage their amount of GOLD. This gold amount is key, and that is the incorporation of the limitation. That's it.

I sadly didn't really understand what to do in this game. :(

An interesting start to a game, but as others have mentioned there are plenty of bugs!

You can spam buildings in one place, and there's no reason to place anything other than infinite red building which yields both gold and population. As you have infinite gold you also have infinite time.

People complain about games being exploitable but games you can exploit actually seem more fun, that is to say I had a lot of fun exploiting this game. Maybe you could lean into that.

Also as no one has mentioned it yet, the UI goes behind the buildings when you move. I'm sure you know this but just in case!

kinda buggy

Developer

Yeah, I didn't have enough time to fix the bug of infinitely placing something.  Also, move camera with WASD.

ok,Do you want to try my game too?

I didn't get the point of the game at all. Also bugs :(

Developer

It was just a simple city builder.  That's it.  Also, sorry about the bugs, I didn't have enough time to fix the bug of infinitely placing something.  Also, move the camera with WASD.

Fine idea, but the execution is lacking because of bugs :(

Bugs:

I can build infinite many building in same place, so I never went out of money.

You can build tings so they cover the UI.

Design problem:

I could not read the number for what it cost to reset the timer.

Since the buildings don't do anything then being next to each other, you really don't need any plan. I had no use for other buildings then the red, because the gave more money then I spend.

Developer

Yeah, sorry about the bugs.  Must fix that because I do want to continue the problem.


Also: move the camera with wasd.
