I'm getting a 403 on drop box.

Such an ambitious project. I know because i tried something similar. I like the idea of confinement as a nod to the theme.

Charming little program :). I wish you'd been able to take it further (at the VERY least a way to gain more money).

Now this was cool.

I love strategy/colony building games. Nicely done dude! Hope you add to it!

Pretty cool little simulator. I wasn't sure at first if you had implemented any form of income, but I was happy when I saw the credits begin to accumulate.

I couldn't figure out what the brown X icon was on houses. I presume the green was no food, and yellow no electricity, though I was also unclear how they eventually got food and electricity. I built solar panels and greenhouses, and eventually the icons went away, but the causal connection and timing was murky.

The guys wandering the roads gave the colony a good lived in feeling, but were they actually doing anything? I couldn't tell. Also, did there different colors mean anything?

Super-minor interface observation: Deselecting the active tool when left clicking on an invalid spot was unintuitive to me. If I made a trivial mistake clicking in the wrong spot, I had to then reselect the tool again to build in the intended spot.

Looks to have such great potential, I wanna see where you go with this
