Are you open to someone making / posting expansions or alternate rules to this? Obviously free + with credit. I love this game so much and have played several solo games in the past few days, but I'm trying to make alternate rules for godless realms by replacing gods with magic systems, among some other alternate tables and stuff, and it seems a shame not to share it

Yeah, those are all really good suggestions. If I were to ever continue development of this I'd implement ways of changing / moving around buildings. Again thank you so much for your attention / suggestions / critique!

I do actually provide that- try clicking the help button! I wanted to make it so clicking on buildings in the queue would remind you of the synergies but I didn't have time.  The "strategic arson" mechanic was also me trying to give players more agency.

I love the idea of unlockable buildings! That would be a great reward for higher scores. This definitely isn't a true city sim, i had to scrap a lot of ideas about events happening and little people walking around. It's honestly more a puzzle game with city flavor.

Your thoughts match mine very closely upon finishing this game. I agree that the randomness element leads to little player agency in the outcome, and a high score is not an amazing reward for completing the game. In playtesting I was able to get into the 100s, but I'm the dev and I decided on all the synergies myself so of course I'll get a very high score. All in all I agree--this is more a fun prototype / exploration than game. I really appreciate the time and energy you took in playing my game and writing such a thorough, interesting, and polite critique!

We both made city builders! with different concepts for the out of control element though lol

Thank you!

Nice! I'm glad you enjoyed!!!

Punchy and super fun! The audio /visuals really contribute to super solid gameplay.

Couldn't figure out the main mechanic of typing in names, as there was no indication of what names to type in. Art and music were amazing though! I'd love to give this another shot if that mechanic were clarified.

Same error! This sounds like the exact sort of game I've been looking to play--can't wait!
