Love the reference :D
Fun but hard :)
I'd like the roads to be uniform thickness, good stuff though!
Very creative but a taad' too hard.
Great one! No server issues.
Getting errors trying to run it in chrome:

Sorry to hear that Perry, what OS and version of Chrome are you running? I'd like see if I can replicate the problem so I can fix it.
This is more fun than the new SimCity :)
Far less bugs, too.
Few hints and tips to try and make it a bit easier
- Residential areas should be fairly near commercial areas
- Industrial areas are most profitable
- Areas of size 100 are generally most efficient
- Upkeep on roads is a bit steep so don't build too many or too large
Nice version of the concept.
Found it a little too fiddly to place roads & buildings though - would prefer a smaller grid (and uniform roads).
Impressive to see a simulation like this in the 48 hours though :)
I like it! I like it a lot! I was expecting some minimalistic interpretations of popular games but his just blew me away! It's as simple as it can get, but actually works. I really felt like controlling a city, despite it just being a bunch of blocks with numbers on them! Definitly one of my favorite entries so far. Geat job. You are awesome. A couple of tips thou: The game lacks a goal, something to look up to. Maybe a simple counter of how much % of the map is filled, with a "City complete" message once full would be enough, while still not compromising the minimalism?
awesome work but I think the graphics are too minimalistic for a complex game like this :)
Quite easy, the essence of SimCity compressed into bare minimum, awesome!
It's amazing how much we rely on visual feedback to determine progress. I painted a town & wasn't sure if anything was happening until I moused over the zones. Cool concept, definitely minimal.
Very cool idea. It is a bit hard though. I think it needs some feedback to help you understand if you're doing a good thing or a bad thing. Perhaps after you place a new zone it'll look through all the existing zones and flash a color if the zone "likes"/"dislikes" the change.
I agree with the comments above that say there is not enough feedback. The idea of painting the world with brighter colours is good, but not quite enough.
I like this game. probably spent 20 minutes playing without realizing. good job.
Smart, with a tidy little interface. Very nice indeed!
