Well done, a lot of thought went into this, great graphics . Took me a while to work out how to play it, but very enjoyable. Brilliant work

Thanks Johnny :-)

"a lot of thought" might be a stretch lol.  I was happy how the concept kind of all fell into place.  Adding the pointers in really made a difference to gameplay so I'm glad I had time to implement them.

The control scheme needs work and a tutorial type first level might be a good idea should I choose to continue work on it...

Thanks for the comment :-)

one of the most unique takes on the theme with great art, and very well executed. but a bit unintuitive, maybe add a short video with an explanation.

Thanks :-)

There is a video link to a short demo of gameplay but it doesnt appear on the itch.io jam page for some reason. Not sure why this is. I might add the link into the description as a backup...

This took me a minute to fully understand the controls, adding some keyboard functionality would make some things easier I think or a right click drop down. Once I understood I REALLY enjoyed this. Gave me the same feelings as a sim manager type game. A little hard for me but fun.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

The original plan for input was to support touch controls for mobile devices... however that was abandoned due to time constraints.  I would like to revise the input at some stage.
