Good game, but I wonder if the last level is achievable ? (Spoiler alert, the game is a simulation)
Seems the city needs to be lvl. 6 with 100% satisfaction to pass the first level? Despite this it all seemed to work, and I _think_ I get it? At least well enough to pass (as of writing) on to the 3rd map :slight_smile:

Overall, I sort of like the concept, I think. A builder that reveals itself as a space-filling-puzzle when you start playing it. If you look at this through this lens, all the waiting for money/food/satisfaction to pile up can get a bit tedious (but not too bad!)
For a compo game, there's a lot of complication here, and though there is a manual (which attempts to be quite thorough) I think I missed, for example, that you can move the map with the arrow keys. So, very good on getting it all to work, and smoothly playable, but I've noticed players (and especially people who rate for LD, and thus have a limited time to spend on each game) don't respond well to _'just a manual and then right after that its you versus the full complexity the game has to offer'_ and are much happier if you introduce the concepts one-by-one (which takes more time to program unfortunately...)
(Hm, I should also note that I was also confused by the first move, where you have to put HQ on road-tiles, but I think the manual states that you can _only_ build barracks there? :sweat_smile:)

To get their attention, then you should play and rate other games, so either you'll be noticed (higher up) in the list(s), or (if you've commented) sometimes people directly play/comment/rate yours 'back'.
