Well made! Reminds me of a flash game I've played in the past... :D
I think game screen size is too large for monitors <1080p
We who don't have a "middle mouse" and a "mouse wheel" need alternatives!
I like the look you've gone for but the gameplay seemed a bit awkward. I couldn't really tell whether I was doing the right thing or not. GUI elements were often overlaid on each other too, making it hard to see what was going on. Overall though it's a nice idea & a great use of the theme.
Good point SuperChihuahua :D
Am I still allowed to change the control scheme to support mouses without mouse wheels?
I'd probably change the screen size aswell. I guess that's fine?
I loved it, always nice to follow cash flowing in a game.
I like the concept and nice use of the theme.
I love stuff like this!
Brilliant. I'm still playing it! Really addictive. Great interface, really intuitive. You should probably explain how to zoom out as I didn't realise how big the map was until accidently rolling the middle mouse button.
It's hard to make a balanced financial game in 48 hours, but you've more or less done it.
Thanks for all comments :)
I updated the web client _slightly_. I simply added support for WASD and arrows camera movement along with QE and numpad+- zooming. The game couldn't really be played without a 3 button mouse. I also lowered the web player resolution to support smaller monitors.
Let me know if someone feels like this is not ok. I still have the original web build on my disk.
There is A LOT to explore here. Nice work putting it together in this sort-of city-builder :)
Well done. It's an interesting similator to find oil.
$$$$$ ++
Really interesting idea! The UI could have done with some work - sometimes it was hard to read the money in the top left - but it was good other than that!
i like the game a lot. the silhouettes of the rigs are cool! kept me playing for a while
Nice concept and gameplay.
Nice concept!
