This is our first time participating in Ludum Dare, so it's a bit rough, but we hope you enjoy it and we look forward to participating again in the future.

It would be nice to know more about each building. As it is, the player doesn't know what each building will cost or how much it will produce.
There isn't a lot of information on how to play the game. I looks really good.
It was fun! It could be nice to see this as a fully developed project! :)
Your game really needs some sort of info about each building. A tooltip would be good, or at least some sort of tutorial or info in the description before I start.
Just got colony to the state where I don't need to manage resources anymore, people earn more than they need.
I like it. Need enemies, need more problems for the player, need tutorial, need costs. Overall, pretty decent game.
I wish there were more info on how to play it. Keep participating on the next ones! Colony Grow looks nice!
Fun to play but I would like it to be 10 times faster
game is hard to understand
This game might be good, but I shouldn't have to restart 5+ times to find out! Some explanation - any explanation at all - would help immensely to avoid the needless repetition required to figure out what's even going on. And once you grow the colony to a stable size (after several restarts and a lot of waiting), there's no particular reason to continue.
Also, a small bug, sometimes the game places a building on a different tile than the one I clicked on, including sometimes on top of other existing buildings.
Great base, but very very confusing without a tutorial.
Welp! That was tough. :)
It took me forever to figure out that greenhouses produce air.
They *are* the ones that produce air, right?
This is a pretty good base concept, it's just hard to enjoy because it isn't very easy to figure out how to play. I think a few things, like a tutorial or instructions, would make it a lot better.
I also think it would be good if it was possible to destroy buildings.
Overall, the graphics are good and the gameplay is okay, it just isn't very intuitive. :)
there isn't any information telling what each building does/costs/is. also, i somehow put a house on the same tile as a mine. i dont think that was supposed to happen.
Looks great, could be fun, but after a couple of attempts I don't know how to play.
You say it's your first time, and my first attempts at LD were awful and unfinished. It's easy to run out of time before you get used to it. I look forward to seeing what you make next time. :)
