Ranked from 18 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

Which theme(s) did your game incorporate, and how?
The theme incorporated is "Everything has a price"; the whole gameplay loop revolves around managing the 3 main resources, and you have to be very careful with every action because you will be sacrificing one of those resources

Did you use any pre-made assets? If so, what were they and where were they from?
I have used some pre made sound effects from https://coffeevalenbat.itch.io/sweet-sounds-sfx-pack and the music from https://tallbeard.itch.io/music-loop-bundle

love the futuristic tone and the bllom effect the gameplay loop was nice but id love it f the UI was larger along with the fonts

I love the overall retro/neon style, the tiles and their animations all look great!

One tweak I would suggest is that the building menus only show the production rate per colonist which was confusing at first, might be easier to understand by also showing the total you'll get per turn for how many colonists you have assigned.  Same for maybe previewing the total amount each resource will change on the next turn. But the game is fun, visually interesting, and the core resource management is solid!

Thank you very much! I got a bit lost with all of the UI and and stuff, that sounds like a great addition :$

The font was too small for me to read before full screen, and rendered off the screen when full screen on my ultra wide, so it was a little hard for me to understand what I was doing. Those animations were JUICY though! The building drop and hovering over each tile felt great. That extra effort was noted and appreciated! Good job!

Haha thank you, did my best with the animations; the text problems are very unfortunate, I changed the font in the very last moment so I did not have time to check properly :(

Very fun game, and I like all the intresting decisions you have to make. Though I think the font is very small and hard to read. Other than that, enjoyable game

Developer

Thank you! Now that i look at the text it does look small, I changed the font from default at the very last moment and forgot to check how it would look :\

I really liked the isometric art on this one, the buildings looked so cool placing them down! I also really liked the random events like the burgers falling from the sky, the writing was good for those events. It's definitely a difficult game but after a couple tries I was able to survive 2 weeks! Nice work!

Thank you very much, I was a bit unsure of the writing but I am glad you liked the events! There were originally supposed to be way more of them and a whole arc with an infection but I ran out of time so badly lol

Really fun game, and tough as nails, too!

Really fun loop with the turn-based resource management. It's nice to be able to think through your moves and plan ahead.

The visuals were also superb! Love the style you went for with this!

I did miss the orange border when a building has an event a few times, maybe that could be made more obvious?

In any case, really fun game. I'll definitely be coming back to this one!

Thank you! This was my first experiment with isometric art, so some things are a bit clunky still. Very happy that you have liked it!!!
