Cool game! Great presentation, it's really cute, and I liked the historical context (I'd never heard of it). I like the concept and it was fun to play.
My only complaint is that I found it hard to remember what each block was doing. The objective was also a bit unclear (I thought I was more in control during my second attempt, but I actually scored less).
Well done!

Thank you for playing and for the comment! There was an issue with the score, so I just updated the builds with a fix. But yeah, you're right, the game is still unclear... Not enough time to code proper feedback :-)

original cool game
Really fun, addictive and looks great! If you were to add audio and maybe add some animation that would underline the changes that happen to the city when the player makes their pick, it would be perfect.
Also, it's a great idea to present a city in an abstract form.
Love the theme of kowloon, and it seems like an interesting concept, but I don't get the objective or what the feedback is on whether i'm doing things right. Would like to play it when more developed though!
Interesting idea and nice art. I didn't realy understand what I had to do to progress and earn money.
Good job though :)

I like the lighting and the concept is interesting but it's pretty confusing to work out out how to actually play this since there's no tutorial.
(I think your windows build still has debug files by accident.)
This is a great little puzzle/sim game. I like how it takes SimCity and turns it 90 degrees like walled city.
Your visual design is great in its simplicity.

A very strategic and interesting game! I spent a lot of time thinking on how to maximize the score, but the game does depend on luck and it's random

Nice mood and presentation. Very slick. UI text is a bit small on higher resolutions. Some visual feedback on scoring or placing blocks will go a long way to helping understand the game better!
I still don"t understand on which ground some item are in the building list or not, but that's a nice game.
Interesting game, love the topic! I really enjoyed the flat graphics and the overall clean design. It took several tries to understand the game mechanics but after this I really enjoyed playing. Some thoughts: -Random factors to increase replayability would be nice. Some more feedback about what effects are in play on level-by-level basis would make it easier to pick up the game as opposed to the trial and error approach I used in order to figure out how to increase my score from one playthrough to the next.
Overall, well done and very original!

Very innovative, but I felt like the outcome of the game was mostly determined by luck (the set of available blocks is random, right?) and not by my strategy, which ruined it for me.
