Nice entry! A meaningful and fun to play game, it's a very interesting perspective. I played first without reading your explanations and a second time after and I really understood how stupid these humans were.

Gread idea! Was funny to play but after some time getting a bit repetitive. Would be cool to have some perks/unlockables.

Original idea, simple but nice music, the graphics make me think of those of the first SimCity ;-) Nice game guys! (For the feedback, when I die the counter continues to increment and I can not restart the game) ezgif.com-video-to-gif.gif

This is a pretty cool subject and concept. I am not sure about how it combines two genres - it is pretty much all forest-sim, with no real fighting, and I am not sure whether I'd consider Serious Game a genre. But it's a foundation. I agree with @borodar regarding the repetitiveness. Some kind of evolution in gameplay would have been nice.

The art is basic but nice. It reminds me of some very old tiles I made back in the early 2000's on my Amiga for an isometric pirate game, so I have warm and fuzzy nostalgic feelings right now. 😃 Because it's isometric, I couldn't really see what was happening on some tiles hidden behind tall trees at one point, however.

Nice work!

@borodar, thanks. I totally agreee, perks would make the game more interesting. For example, different kinds of trees. But I did not think about how to 'improuve' or make more interesring the enemies (desert and farms).

Good game.

That's very cool to see an engaged game like this one :) The game is kind of repetitive after a while, but very interesting. And the graphisms are very good.

I loved the graphics ! I would really like a fully developed game on this topic (desertification). About the gameplay, I was unsure about how to get more money, and how to have more interaction with the map. But really, I'd love to play more if you make an improved version !

Good and simple game, it's very challenging! I like the Sim City style, good work!

Surprising social impact game, I actually never knew about how deforestation could affect desert growth like that. I thought the Simcity graphics throwback was awesome, haven't seen that in a while. The gameplay was tough to figure out. I understood the idea of using mature trees as a foundation to fight off growth but I still had trouble in the later portions of the game understanding how to improve, and I'd just place trees where it seemed to fit. A few more mechanics could make this really worthwhile in terms of environmental effects, but there's something to be said about the simplicity of its message currently :)

Simplistic yet fun idea! Very retro look and feel. Great job

Very nice throwback to the old management games :)

Mine is kinda a throwback but then again not really, check it out and you will see what i mean :) https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/sam

Nice theme, something to think about afterwards! I'm not sure of how much strategy is available to the player? After a certain point it seemed like I was just trying to put trees down as fast as possible. I do like that immediate anxiety of seeing the forest wither away though, it does kind of sell the theme.

Nice defence game! Simple idea, enjoying gameplay
