Really cute game! Very satisfying and cozy. The art is beautiful and I love that the fossils have information to learn more! I hope in the full version there are even more fossils, expeditions, and puzzles. I can't wait to see it.
I did run into one issue. When a majority of the fossils were in the first room and I was skipping digs, visitors would get stuck at the entrance. Unsure of what was the cause but it caused the income to dip immensely. Not all customers would get stuck, but maybe 5/9 would be stuck on top of each other at the entrance.
I really enjoyed this game! It was very satisfying to see my city grow and naturally develop areas with specific zones.
I have a couple of thoughts:
- would love to see some variation in the style of the buildings! Maybe changing the color of the awnings, fl0wers, roofs, etc. Variation could make the game look even more lively!
- I noticed there was a part of the map where a lot of the buildings got skewed, going over the road or running into other buildings. I noticed this especially with Schools and hospitals. Although, it was cool to overlap libraries and schools to make them look a bit more varied.
- As the city got bigger (230+) there was a bit of a lag putting down new items.
- What are the rules for placing skyscrapers? It doesn't seem clear where I can and cannot place them.
Also noticing an issue with pests/crows. When a Crow tree appears next to pest tiles, they do not turn into wheat as the description says. The pest tiles just disappear entirely, sometimes leaving the crow tree with no other tiles around so it cannot travel around. This leaves that lone little tile empty where no one can reach it at all and my board isn't really navigable for farmers and pests run wild.
This seems like a cool concept but It's not very clear of what is "the right order." Unsure if it is to make a sentence. Also, it's unclear where the post it notes are supposed to be placed. It seems They have to be placed very specifically on the line otherwise the game freezes and you don't get a notification if it's correct or not.
Really enjoy this game! I've been often playing during work as a little brain break but I've gotten such a hang of it, I never finish before the end of the day! It's very satisfying to manage all the different patrons and organize all the rooms. I enjoy the puzzle of figuring out the best place to put a patron or add a room.
My two suggestions would be if there could be an easier way to tell what qualities a room has after it's placed. If you could click or hover over a room to see if it's tacky or luxury or even have a stronger visual difference between tacky, luxury, and fun.
