I adored this game. I didn't read the tutorial cuz I didnt have much time and it looked very complex but then I played and I actually got to finish the befriending ending in 30 days, so I think it is a very well toughout game that isn't veryu difficult.
The art is absolutly adorable and I like that there's more ending options. Thank you for making this game <3

- Great concept that could grow with some balancing and additional technologies. Cool use of theme.
- Tiny little 4x! this was EXCELLENT. perfectly functional, short and sweet with a bit of fleshing out. looking forward to seeing more work from you guys, extremely enjoyable little jaunt.
- Really good game! The only thing I had an issue with were the popup menus—sometimes they'd not be readable if I'm too zoomed in—and it was difficult to be specific with the number sliders. Other than that, was great! Good job!
- A valiant attempt at re-creating a 4x strategy game, that passes the theme check (barely), is gorgeous and completely functional. It offers multiple victory conditions, but not a lot of strategy between them. I'm not sure how this could be developed more; it is currently a fully-functional version of what it aims to be, but it is unlikely to ever be more than that. The genre simply requires so much more depth and complexity. Endearing, but simple.
