After the first zoom-out I thought maybe theres even more layers with new upgrades ^^ but still a fun polished game!
Thanks for playing! @krynxx There actually is a 3rd layer, but it's a pain to get to if you don't upgrade the buildings (right click on the circles and the roads). The message about how to upgrade is really easy to miss unfortunately, I was planning to make it persist until you upgraded something but ran out of time.
Nice entry!

It's really satisfying to upgrade and grow your empire, and the game is well paced with the rewards and the three "acts". I didn't realize you could upgrade the nodes during the second phase, so sat for a while without upgrades without realizing it, but once I figured it out it went smoothly from there.
The art and sound are simple but clear, and you managed to get a lot of variety in building types, etc. so it doesn't look too stale (and were the maps procedural?). Music would have been nice, especially if it built up as you expanded, but it's obviously hard to squeeze everything into 48 hours.

Overall, great work! Reminds me a lot of [Boba](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/52/boba?ref=superjumpmagazine.com), last event's Compo winner.
It's really fun to see things speed up progressively! And it's quite satisfying to be able to automate! Having the ability to control the movement commands as intended made the experience truly enjoyable.
OMG, when I got the zoom-out feature, it felt soooo incredible! The pathing and employee AI are really well done. This is one of my favorite LD53 games so far. I didn't realize you could upgrade the roads and get to the third level of zoom until I read some comments but I'm glad I did. This game is huuuuuge!
