This was really cool and had way more than I was initially expecting!
Would be neat to see dragon/wolf models over the tiles instead of icons. Overall, really well done. Made me think of this from the last Ludum Dare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtWiQxke8Vk
Very nice. I love how it looks, the level of polish and that it can be understood without any tutorials. Congrats!
As a negative, I have lost a bit of motivation after a while since it's not clear what the goal is or what's the losing condition.

Wow, what a great game. :)
It's very fun to play, trying to make the most of the given cards and fighting off monsters with godly fury.

A really good game. Looks great! However I't would have helped to have a idea (A GUI Element), which showed how many houses you had.

This game is beautiful and interesting, I like when the wolf and dragon spawning, it give and push me to face these threat, and then there are some strategy for defeat them or glow more tiles.
Although I'm not quite sure when or how do I get to the end game, but it's still pretty solid to me.
Good job! :D
Very good entry. I really enjoyed watching the village grow, and unleashing natural elements against dragons and wolves. Graphics are top-notch for a compo game.
Easy to play, easy to understand (if you read the goals of the game first) and a very solid entry. I liked it!
Absolutely excellent, I would to see this developed further.

Very cool game with an awesome mood and graphics style! I do however feel like the game is lacking in informing the player about what the goal of the game is and how you perform "good". But overall very good work! :D
Wow, really solid entry! Felt really polished. I'd have loved a bit of chill music and a bit of interactive sounds, but other than that, a really great game!

Very cozy and enjoyable! Pretty easy too, but I seriously enjoyed the depth present, what with the different tiles affecting each other and the dragons and wolves ravaging cities. My score was 190. I'd love to see more of this!
I liked the strategy of the game. Pretty intuitive as the gameplay was quite discoverable without the need to read the instructions.
The graphical style was very nice, as I felt it suited the game well. I think would make an excellent 'on-and-off' mobile puzzle/strategy game.

I played it through twice. The first time I kept wondering why my grass was turning into desert all the time. On the 2nd I managed to get about 285 houses. I enjoyed the game a lot. A greater diversity in tiles and events would make it even better.

That was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the game, and found myself getting into it. Graphics were beautiful, and my only complaint is that I wish there was more(Which of course is understandable with such a short time). Great game!

This was so much deeper than I expected.
I like the art, and the controls are tight and clear. I particularly enjoyed the moments when I was faced with villages everywhere, and only a fire or a storm :) I'd love some sounds and a little more animation when villages appear, but the game is solid. Congratulations.
Great game, cool graphics and longest game on this ld35 ive played .
Good game, I really enjoyed it!
Very well done. I actually played through twice because I found myself very entertained. Amazing graphics and a good take on the shapeshifting theme.

Pretty funny and innovating game! I enjoyed playing this :)
Cool tiled based game :) a bit hard to figure all the combinations but I had fun trying all sort of things :)

The graphics were perfect. It took me two tries to understand how to play, but after I got it, it was really enjoyable. I think I will come back to this later.
Love this game! The visuals are amazing :D
Very polished entry, good one. Minimal graphics works pretty well, and the gameplay is funny. Maybe it could have been clearer in game how to defeat enemies

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

Fantastic! Easily my favorite game of this LD!
Got 118 houses! Don't know if that's good, but most of the world was pretty green, so I'm alright with it :D Probably spammed a few water tiles too many though..
The graphics are really neat, and the animations very fluid. The artstyle seems very consistent, and the only graphical gripe with me was the description font (seems a bit too thin), but even that stopped annoying me after only a little while. And font tastes tend to be quite subjective.
The lack of audio is a bit disappointing, but the graphics & really cool gameplay more than make up for it. Good work!
Great depth in this game, good job. I got 282 houses.
Great work! A well fleshed out concept for the allotted time and easily understood even without reading the simulation rules until after I finished a playthrough, deliberately mind you, I wanted to enjoy the game, not try meta-game so to speak.
The only thing I could think to add would be a counter for the number of houses you currently have and more days so I can keep enjoying expanding my village!
Great game! I wish it was even longer

It might add more strategy if there's some tile-type that could be used to counter wolves & dragons.
Like the wolf cannot pass water, etc.
yeah I wanted to do that, but I would have needed proper Pathfinding Algorithms which was not possible in 48 hours:), I also wanted the storms and fire to spread and maybe other villages to fight, but that was very optimistic...
Lovely graphics! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/Rc53wZClozM
Fun game, and very nice looking graphics.
I like it! The lowpoly look and simple game mechanic made this a very pleasurable experience. It felt a bit like playing settlers of catan on a table :)

Very simple and very addictive! Love it!
Neat entry !
That was fantastic! :D keep up the good work! :D like the way the tiles show up and the gameplay itself :)
I didn't do so well at first, but I came back for seconds and really had a great time. Nice work
Got 339 on my first try! :D
Really love the game, very solid entry and fun gameplay mechanic! Would love to see this further developed - with some more content and varying goals, it would really be a cool puzzle game I'd be willing to pay for! :)

Nice game, wish there was a way to zoom in and out as well as a less brutal view panning, it's quite frustrating to lose your progression because you can't find the land after a glitchy view panning. Nice game nonetheless.
