GG!!!
I see some rather familiar house shapes :thinking:
a really nice game! i love the silly art style combined with the haphazard stacking of buildings makes for a really fun experience
while the concept of the housing agriculture and industry thing is really interesting design-wise, i think i didn't really pay attention to it that much (which explains why i have no idea why sometimes it prevents me from taking a building -.-)
overall the physics, sound effects (especially when u lose hahaha) and mechanics are super polished and really fun. great job! (and the game title is perfect, too)
@grizeldi Where did you see houses shaped like these? Don't try live in those.🙂
@paperaeroplane555 Thank you so much for feedback like this. I agree that the three building types should have been implemented better, I will work on things like this in future projects.

You absolutely nailed the theme. I managed 98 buildings on my 2nd try with a score of 2825. A very funny little game. Love the sounds and music, perfect. Also the crappy sticky physics, awesome :) Congratz!!!
@pcmaster Thank you very much for the kind words. Although, you have almost double of my best score.
Nice little game! Clicking the buildings and see how they affect the board is simple but fun enough. It would be more attractive if buildings have different physical behaviors.
@cirno Thanks so much for the input, you raise a good point with the building behaviors and I really wish I had thought of that myself.
I definitely enjoyed this little game. The sound when clicking buildings is really familiar, but I can't figure out where from haha. Great entry!
Simple but works
Hehe I got 3120 for my highscore :) This is a great entry. The management layer you put on top of the balancing game was a nice touch but it could be explained better I think; I liked the slightly nihilist approach of placing building, merely throwing them toward a direction. The tuning of the physic was really good it felt really "fair" for the player, I was really on the edge most of the time and the board went for one extreme from another multiple times, it was emotionaly really good :p
Well done and thank you for your game!
Cool game, loved the art style and the weird music!
cool
Ohh cool idea! I really have fun to play this game)
Neat idea! It'd be nice to be able to adjust the rate at which the buildings pass by above. Maybe at different difficulty levels they would pass by faster? I also enjoyed the screams at the end :)
Nice Game! I like it that the balance is thought in two ways, balancing the platform, and balancing the type of buildings! I found it hard to keep track of what i could place, so i just tried until something felt. I enjoyed it a lot!

I had a fun time placing the buildings down onto the scale, I got 78 buildings total before it tipped. I wasn't quite sure why it wouldn't let me pick up some types of buildings at certain points. Was fun overall!
@goldenevolution Thanks for playing. I couldn't tell you where the sound is from, I have a folder with way too many sound effects.
@tombuston Over 3000! Why are people better at this game than I am? Thanks for the kind words, I agree on the explanation on building types would have really helped, I'll be sure to add instructions and descriptions in entries. I will admit, the physics took a full day of tweaking to actually be 'good'.
@kalevrk Thanks. That's a really good idea, I'll keep a difficultly option like that in mind.
@azagaya Thank you. I really should have made things clearer. Also again with a score over 3000, I didn't even know that was possible.
@mega-marlon Thanks for playing, the building types can only be placed if there are enough of the other building types. I really didn't explain it too well.
Nice game. Clear tasks and visuals.
Only little slow for my taste:)
glorious. the music is chefs kiss
@peterfiftyfour Thank you kind sir. It was a complete accident of instruments in beepbox and I just had to keep it because I found it so catchy.
Small but very interesting game, if the house and the background of the mountain is the same pixel painting I think it will be more perfect!
The house falling from the sky was interesting, as I found it difficult to balance it after the day level exceeded a critical value, which was a challenge to maintain balance from the beginning
I snort laughed at the title. This was a good idea and a solid execution. The music is a perfect fit for it too.
I haven't really understood the resources mechanics but throwung the buildings on a plank was fun enough.
2270 points on first try.
The game is really fun x) I liked the sounds and music x)
At first, I tried to think whether I needed this or that building, but I finally just kept throwing the available buildings.
The UX was really well done. I think it is intentional to make the controls a bit harsh so that it adds more chaos. Great entry overall!
I like the sound effects after one dies... the screaming and stuff is very funny. ^^
@guinytime Thanks for playing. I agree on the art, it would have been more attractive. The mountain was my art, I couldn't replicate that particular pixel art style at all.
@mathiouza Thanks for all the kind words, that's a pretty good score too. The controls are indeed made like that on purpose, the original plan was too make them more responsive. But it made the game far too easy.
@gasgiant Glad you found some fun in our entry, I agree the resources mechanics are very poorly explained, I'll keep things like that in mind for my next project.
@hwaet Thanks for all the kind words. Glad you appreciate the title, unfortunately we were three letters short for the character limit.
@chillertyp Thanks. At first I thought I was a terrible person for laughing, when I was editing that sound file. I'm glad other people find it amusing too.
The music and sound effects are cool (especially in game over lol). The game is super addicting!
Interesting concept. Could be a mobile game!
