The music really did it for me. It added this like, contemplative aura to the experience which reminded me of old Origin games. I'm a sucker for anything simulation and my only real complaint is that there wasn't more. I do though, recognize how little time there is to get a whole idea put together, and you did that solidly. Great stuff.
A very cute and relaxing city-builder. I really liked the visuals. It feels like it’s missing some satisfying interactions and impact. animations and sound effects when placing resources, constructing buildings, and so on would really help bring it to life.
The game visuals are well done ! I'm not sure if there is an ending condition in the game ?
It's very hard to do a game like this during a Ludum, so congratulations !
Beautiful (I love the house and their color variation), simple and enjoyable. A bit slow loop at the beggining maybe.
- the UI is terrible small on my Mac/Chrome Screenshot 2025-10-06 at 17.27.53.png
The Game would be even better with : - quality of life : Dragging the road instead of manual placing. - Building upgrade
Nice to see you have used GitHub during the development process of the game. I have started **collecting entries** backed up by github! I have also collected a few tricks to make the repos shinier across my ld participation
---
You can update the repository name (when you have found the name of your game) without breaking kinks (github redirect old name to new ones) and add a description for inclusion in the list (https://github.com/dhmmasson/ld58 still redirect to my repository)
I have created badges that you can use to decorate your README:
``` Ludum Dare Ludum Dare 58 - Compo Ludum Dare 58 - Jam Ludum Dare 58 - Extra ```

Consider using these **topics** on your github description to make your Ludum Dare entry more discoverable: - `game` - `game-development` - `ludum-dare` - `ludumdare` - `ludumdare58` - `ludum-dare-58` - `ld58`
You can also use your cover art for the ```Social preview``` image in the repository ```Settings```
I have starred and added your repository to a list of ld58 compo:
(Also, I am on a quest to have a repo reach 10 stars. If you play my game, consider [leaving a star on my repo](https://github.com/dhmmasson/tilesCollector) as well.)
