Very cool - it felt like a was playing a non-topdown Pharaoh!

Really liked this, it's a shame that it's a little prone to crashes. It crashed just as the water was gonna cover the top of my dome.

This looks very cool as a concept. Placement of walls is a bit strange. It however doesn't seem super stable. Time keeps stopping after about 5 water rises/days and I can't progress past it. It's somehow relaxing and stressful at the same time. Nice music.

That's a very interesting concept. It could use some work to flesh it out but the idea is pretty neat. It did crash on me after i got my dome fully built, though.

Very nice, I like the method of walls and domes, a bit of shame you you run out of land if you are doing well. challenge mode didn't seem super different given it was easier to build up the top first anyway.

Very cool game. building a city that slowly gets swallowed by water has a lot of potential

I hope all my villagers brought their swimming trunks because they sure will need them

I liked the fact that it is indeed a city builder, but with a clear winning condition, instead of letting you play until you lose. Nice game :)

Really cool idea! I had a hard time working out how to get started, but on my second attempt once I had worked out how much everything costs and was able to start making use of land in time I had a good time. I think its partially the point of the game, but I did find it somewhat frustrating that by the time I had figured out what was going on I had no way of winning. I think that my confusion was mostly on how much stuff cost and how much stuff produced, so maybe just bigger/clearer text on those buttons? They're pretty small in an embedded web build. I'm not sure if that would help, but regardless once I got everything worked out I had a good time, so great work!

This game was a blast! I really like the unique concept of making buildings to gather resources and overcome rising sea level. The stress of building under time pressure while listening to the most zen music is also a fun juxtaposition :)

This BGM has a feeling of the world is about to be destroyed but hope still exists, the game play is complete, good!

Was cool, relaxing atmosphere despite the impending doom, like the art style too. My main problem is the ui obscures the buildings sometimes, one time my shrine was located behind the day/night cycle ui. The use of the theme doesnt really impact the game since you can fast forward. Overall decent game.

Tried to contain the water but still lost :P

Fun game, I enjoyed it

@enver-arco The best defense is a good offense

really fun little city builder that gives a looming threat, makes good use of the theme, and has a good feedback loop! really good! The game feels a little shallow, but eh, its a game jam game. this seems like it could be a good time waster if taken a little further. good game!

Great entry with a city builder core! Also stick to the theme. Well done :D

creepycatdev 2022-10-06 17:55

Great game with a looming threat. I did find the building a bit weird though. I would place in a straight line one time, but the next time it would only allow me to place one block down where it was before. otherwise nice game. Was able to save Atlantis too.

mmh i wasnt able to put down a quary...

This my favourite game of the jam so far. It's a very unique and used the theme very well. I even managed to save atlantis! Didn't expect being able to win. The building system acts a bit weird sometimes though.

I liked the flooding theme! Raises a global problem! I liked the control with ease and simplicity

ratrat44 2022-10-15 03:13

It is cool how the place floods and the tune is nice. The blocks seem to some times not fit the grid which is kinda odd. I played it a few times and then tried to build one with holes in the roof and it looks like it's raining. Atlantis.png
