I really enjoy these types of games, and this one is great too. The events seem really random which is sometimes funny and sometimes unfair. Overall it's really cool :)

The art is really amazing ! I enjoyed playing it 5/5 for the graphics. check out my game too :)

retti01 2019-04-30 08:45

Love the graphics and it is also fun to play.

mimusangel 2019-04-30 08:51

The game has a very nice atmosphere

ayama 2019-04-30 08:52

I like the style of graphics.

banzi 2019-04-30 08:54

The art and atmosphere are great. The dialogs are quite interesting to read. Good job!

Really cool little game. For me personally the text with the result of my action went away too quickly. I would have prefered to click on a "next event" Button.

Lovely little peaceful game. Really enjoyed it. The voxel type art was really good.

menen 2019-04-30 12:32

Interesting game but the results can“t be read because they go away.

kai 2019-04-30 12:33

This was pretty neat. Not a massive amount to it and a lot of guesswork, but it was a pleasant enough experience that I couldn't bear to be frustrated when everything I clicked ended in some kind of apocalypse.

Cute animations and music. The result text disappears before I can read it though so its hard to tell what happened.

hwaet 2019-04-30 17:17

It's very relaxing. As others stated, the result text is either too fast or too long.

nate-prince 2019-04-30 17:17

cool game a little bit repetitive. but im loving the art style

good-enough 2019-04-30 17:17

Wow, you must have had some pretty competent folks on your art team! The whole thing is too beautiful for a jam, congrats!

The gameplay was a bit lacking, with events repeating more frequently than I would have liked, but the fact that they had a few of different results was quite a clever way to reduce the monotony.

Speaking of the results, I agree with @menen and others that the results went away too fast. You could have had it wait for a click or something.

Overall however, the graphics took the game past where I would have otherwise rated it. Great Job!

Interesting concept and great art to visualise what's happening. But I had my problems to really grasp, what my choices were leading to. The User Interface could use some polish. It looks a little bland compared to the rest of the visuals

Interesting game, but I didn't really know if I was winning or losing until it was over.

@menen, @jeremia, @kai, @good-enough, @hwaet thank you for feedback! We fix this annoying issue, also add 'hint' button to show current resources, but one of the ideas was to push players to explore dependencies by themselves 9ggaAIGG8MY.jpg

"Adding Functionality" isn't allowed, I think.. Perhaps it would be better wording to say that you patched the minor bug causing the turn to end too quickly. XP

viktorwii 2019-04-30 19:04

@good-enough gotcha :D now it's just hotfix and nothing else :P

jharler 2019-04-30 19:24

Unfortunately for me I wasn't able to hear any audio (Unreal games seem to be screwing with my Vive and causing audio issues), so I refrained from voting on audio. The visuals though, worked great and were very nice. I like how things changed after each event and the events themselves were fun. I did run into the same one 3 or 4 times (the fight club one) and actually got it twice in a row once. I also didn't notice any indication of progress being made or lost.

Nice graphics, but very boring to play. The picture does not relate to what you do. A lot of text. It resembles a visual novel.

The theme of the competition is weak.

camocc-studios 2019-05-03 11:54

Very good game, always love to see something in 3d in a jam. Great work

cozmic 2019-05-03 12:58

Graphically it is awesome, kinda reminds me of Kindoms and Castles. Other than that it's really just not that much fun, sadly.. A bit more interactiveness would be really nice

jsmars 2019-05-03 13:23

Very nice graphics and I was impressed with having an intro animation even, nice work!

kregames 2019-05-03 19:45

Really nice voxel art. I got a little sad when it turned out it is not a farming game, even so I absolutely enjoyed it. Nice work.

davidus 2019-05-04 09:59

Very nice game! I love the art and the "video" at the beginning. Soch much details in this game. Good job!!!

drlizard 2019-05-05 15:37

Nice concept, but events tends to repeat very quickly, but outcome seems to be purely random and usually bad and bad.
