Really fun!! I only wish it was harder.
Nice entry and very fun concept ! Unfortunately the game crashed at the end of lvl 6, when pressing the "next" button. No crash again when retrying (and I managed to finish all levels). Like the first comment, I wished it was a bit harder ^^
Nice little game, I enjoyed creating balanced neighborhoods!
Would be nice if there's a timer after placing the last house, to see that it really is balanced, since otherwise you can just quickly place all houses and press next even if the whole is falling off.
Cute and relaxing 10 levels, once I got error after level 8. But It worked nice after restarting.
I really liked the game. The difficulty could be harder and maybe there could be more levels with different types of buildings or other variance, but all together it was a very enjoyable short experience.
Nice work getting so many levels in. I really liked the concept I just wished that it got more difficult as when I finished I was still looking for more.
It's a cool concept, but I found it very easy. You just make symmetrical patterns. Also, the flat world goes from stable to very unstable very quickly.
Could be a cool puzzle game but it is way too easy. I could win by randomly clicking fast.
Nice little game, just wish that there was something more like an event or something that will make me react like a meteor hitting one side of the LD. But Nice Job.
Overall it looks pretty good, soothing music but the easy gameplay put me off. You can place 2-3 buildings near the edge and still habe plenty of time to place buildings on the opposite side. So it was less about thinking where I could place the buildings strategically but more like "where is a big open space next to the road so I can just spam click and hope to place all buildings. With some QoL changes I can see this game beeing quite fun to play :)
Fun game, although it seems like the strategy is just to place houses on symmetrically opposite positions (which is almost always available), and houses in the middle barely seem to affect the balance (at a guess, I'd say your ground is resting on a flat plinth that is about half the size of the ground area). Maybe if the houses had different weights, it could be a bit more involving to place the houses.
Fun game but a bit too easy. Gameplay and graphics were nicely done.
The concept is hilarious :laughing: Great entry!
As others have said it is a bit too easy, it would have been nice to introduce a new gameplay mechanic after a few levels to spice things up :) It was nice to play through the ten levels.
I bet adding some more challenge somehow would be a good thing -- it's pretty easy to spam-click and win even if the results are wildly unstable. Maybe the game could wait a few seconds after 10 houses are placed to make sure things remain balanced? The graphics+music+sfx+physics are nice and pleasant, and I like how the little houses fall over independently from the world :)
