Very serene little game, I think you captured the theme pretty well.

Very peacefull and interesting game.
Maybe a bit repetitive but it works very well.
Nice done.

I like the unique idea and the nice graphics. This game fits the theme very well.

Very smooth game. It's a very minimalistic yet challenging turn-based strategy game. Awesome balance!

Good looking game, with fine gameplay. It's fairly easy to figure the game out and is fun to play. Nice graphics too.

Minimal but effective! Liked it a lot.

Great little game! Some added features and bonuses would make this really fun. Maybe an overall goal as well. Nice work!

Great game! Just some other elements and it can be a good non-jam game

icecliff 2013-05-04 09:20

I love games with a good atmosphere!

Clean work, new and fresh look on survival kind.

Excelent game design, awesome graphics...
The only drawback for me was no full screen mode, and on the UI, the elements you must "catch" should be more clearly separated from the your resources... Good job!

jlauener 2013-05-04 19:08

What to say? I liked it a lot! I don't have any criticism to give, quite the perfect game.

Gorgeous looking resource management puzzler.
Be good if the tool tips could update without having to mouse away and back again though.

Unfortunately I can't rate this one since I don't have Windows

Love hex games, would like to change the way of playing to another not secuential...it's hard to understand the rules but it is simple...
nicely done

HelkeGames 2013-05-10 18:33

Nice game, very minimalist great job! :D

badlydrawnrod 2013-05-10 20:10

Beautiful presentation.

thevideogamemechanic 2013-05-11 10:22

Looks really nice! Definitely got some minimalism there. Also quite addictive gameplay. :) Nice job.

siewart 2013-05-11 15:10

Ahh, the first turnbased game I found, also a very enjoyable one :)

ashdnazg 2013-05-11 15:11

The game feels very "polished"!
I also really liked the music.

cakemonitor 2013-05-11 15:16

great graphics and an impressive game :) good job

firefly 2013-05-12 10:33

I couldn't get this to run on my Windows 7 64-bit machine. The mouse does the hour glass briefly then nothing happens.

firefly 2013-05-12 10:36

Ignore my last comment. I didn't have XNA redist installed :)

taro 2013-05-13 04:38

A lot like the board game, Catan. Enjoyed it while it lasted. Made it to level 8, yo!

brant 2013-05-13 12:38

Great game. Had fun with it. Particularly the graphics and little animations are very well put together.

minionstudios 2013-05-13 16:37

Really fun and very simple. The resource management is challenging and rewarding!

It took me a little while to figure out what was going on, but once I got the hang of it (thanks to rollovers) I enjoyed it. I cruised through most of the levels, so much so that I started to get a bit bored, but then the difficulty suddenly ramped up in level 9 (It seems the levels are random, I don't know if it's possible to win). The gameplay is good, and I appreciated the audio. If you intend to expand on this idea, I'd add some more tiles that get introduced over time, and maybe some story or extra puzzles of some kind. All in all though, a very impressive effect for 1 person in 48 hours! Also, the graphics were lovely!
