Death by Growth

First of all, can I download the song somewhere? That's a really cool ambient piano track, I could just leave it looping in the background for hours! The UI was also quite nice and responsive.

Unfortunately I have to say I didn't really understand what I was doing. I understood that buildings gave me passive income of resources, but after a while they just stopped giving it? Did my building go broken somehow? The idea of playing a year was intriguing, but took a lot of time (I died after 10 months). I think a shorter total time would have worked better and then I could compete for better scores.

BTW, who am I paying taxes to? How can they prevent the disasters? Could they actually be causing the disasters themselves and pressuring me to pay?! :tinfoil-hat:

(+) controls gives the player a lot of options, for interacting with the environment: building, collecting, destroy, repair and paying tribute

(+) detailed & beautiful grafics for environment & buildings

(o) grafics could use some animations

(-) it is quite tricky to get out the building menu, when you currently can't build anything, that becomes a trap as long you don't know building prices

(+) it is quite long, by reaching the goal of 52 rounds

(o) a shorter time span as a option would be nice

(-) no manual restart

(o) it would be neat, if music & sounds can be disabled/enabled seperatly
