First of all the things I didn't like:

- The HUD is falling off the screen, I can only see the edges. I tried playing it in 1280x800, 1400x900 & 1680x1050, but it never fits. You might want to take a look at your Player Settings in Unity, especially the Resolution & Presentation tab. And/or if this is made in Unity 4.6 you might want to check your Canvas and make sure nothing falls off in various resolutions and aspect ratios.

- Somewhere in your code please add:
if (Input.GetKeyDown(Keycode.Escape)){
Application.Quit();
}
So you can close the application with the Esc-key

- I didn't really knew what I was doing, so I just randomly build structures. This was partly because I couldn't see the HUD

I don't want to sound pedantic, your skill-level in Unity might be much higher than mine. Maybe you just didn't add this because of the time constraints ;)

The things I liked:

- Very slick presentation! Smooth animations and nice icons.
- Tooltips! Many games don't add this or do this half-assed. Your tooltips were clear and helpful
- With some more work this can really be a fun game, I would really like to see the fleshed out version!

I would really want to give this another go if these technical difficulties are sorted out.

Great job!!!

I really liked your game. It's polished, clear. Maybe you should let the player start with a bit more construction material, so they can make the mistake of not constructing a mine at start.

One suggestion for you, you should make a browser version of your game. The rules allow you to make this after the end of the jam, as it is a form of porting.

Nice game, i like the idea.

Real nice game here ! It runs smooth, actions are clear and defined. The flip animation speed for building is a cool idea.
As said by Drtizzle, an escape button would have been appreciated, but that's not so bad.
Audio on such a game is not that important, and how to blame not to have the time during a jam , but worth pointing out it makes a game lose a bit of its appeal anyhow during gameplay ( less impact on user actions, etc )

Great game overall ! Loved to play sort of a strategic game on a Game jam, refreshing !

Maybe there can be some more complex game balance mechanics. And the rule and penalty for "bad neighbors" aren't very clear. But considering how little time we are given, this is still a good game! I like the texture on tiles.

The minimalist graphics and the tile flip and camera pan effects make this look really slick. It feels like a very polished game concept (mainly because it seems like you picked just the right level of detail in the mechanics to scope to a weekend).
