I didn't really know what to do. Really clunky controls. Cool idea, though.

Wow! RTS made in a weekend, that's something!

Nice idea for a game, but unfortunately it's quite confusing! The death sound-effect made me jump when it suddenly sounded as well! Good job though.

Seems very slow to play and there isn't very much of an indication of what you will be able to build, but nice game.

Nice submission :) took me a while to figure out the controls, and how to make money because there is an island on the initial screen with NO trees/plantations, so I would just spend all my money on town hall and get stuck :(

But overall, its a nice game. The progression was fun. But the controls were weird, and seems not responsive. Anyways, good job, had fun :)

I think you need a little more detail in your game instructions, I had this trouble last year.I thought I had explained how to play really well and my comment section was alot of people saying my game needed a better tutorial. Best advice is get somebody else to read it through and explain back to you how the game works, don't correct them if they get anything wrong, add the correction to the tutorial

Pathfinding needs some work, and the game grinds on a bit, but really good overall!

Cool idea but it was hard to know what to do. Also some music and other sound effects would be cool.

As a Dutchie, I doth protest to the theme of this game! ;)
Looks like an interesting start to a strategy game, but it lacks a good 'hook' to get the player invested.

The effort is visible and the concept is pretty nice, but it was very confusing to play, mainly because there is not a huge amount of feedback from the UI. I think it would play better if you put some example images in the 'rules' section.
Otherwise, a nice entry overall!
