Really excellent use of the theme, this is the kind of idea I wish I had the confidence to go with, very ambitious

You have nailed the theme of tiny cretures in a unconventional way! The game play reminds me the ant hive I once possesd, really intriguing. Nice work done!
A really good entry, probably the longest played of all the ones ive played so far.
Yes, I did want to shrink people down and watch them live out their lives. This is a really good entry. Fun to explore it and watch the anthill. Had fun hiring and monitoring test subjects.
looks to be a fun entry, got a bit confused because there are no tutorials or indicators or anything, alas looks to be a classic management sim with a fun twist, I like it!
Damn, that is some complex programming you have done here. The modelling is great, too. I like the lego bricks as building material. The user interface on the screens is awesome as heck.
If I have to find a flaw, I would say the music is a bit repetitive. And there is no way to mess with your tiny humans (˵ •̀ᴗ•́˵)و
Reminds me a lot of Downsizing, the Matt Damon film and an episode from the show Solar Opposites:

The fact you built this for the competition absolutely blows my mind. Cool graphics, fun and very fitting music. The way they just run around and do stuff.. it's all so cool and cohesive. I'm really keen to come back to this when I have more time and just.. build and watch everyone run around. Great work.
Really complicated game to produce for a game jam, so nice work. Some minor details like progress on building things seemed to be missing but it was fun to watch the little workers scramble around building things. I enjoyed the calming music as well.
Crazy concept! Not that much depth to the game, but what is there is very polished. The models, controls, and animations are very nice. Would DEFINETLY buy and play a full version of a game like this. Fallout Shelter but better.
The behaviour of the tiny workers seems a bit off at times, with all options built and they going for a walk of remaining still for a while. Also I am wondering if there is more to it than building all the basic buildings (ie. new buildings / updates). Other than that, it's impresive the amount of work put on this, congrats!
The level of detail is super impressive, and the game is highly enjoyable to boot!
Unfortunately, once I started building things on the second level, the path-finding seemed to freak out: the little people would get stuck trying to pass each other on the stairs and a bunch of them stopped moving almost entirely, eventually starving to death.
Interesting take! Nice visuals I think it could have a bit more depth because the main idea is very good.
