LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Populous by Astavie 2017-12-05T11:34:05Z

@edmond00 Thanks for your feedback! I concur that there is a lot of unexplained info on the screen, I mainly focused on the game itself, and so I tried to make it as logical as possible (you can even hover over a resource and see its influences). More food than population = population growth. CO2 hinders food production and population growth. Technology - I had even written this in the hover info - affects which cards you get (better tech = better cards).

The cards themselves... to be honest, I play a lot of card games and so it seemed extremely logical to me how they work. But I understand that, if you barely play that genre, you have no idea how the cards work. Basically, `Instant` cards apply their effect right when you play them, and `X turns` cards affect the resources each turn.

@japes thanks for the feedback! Yes, unfortunately some cards are unclickable if you get far in the game, which is a bug I didn't have the time to fix (I also found it pretty late).

If I were to expand this game, I would have multiple planets to play on where each planet has a unique goal and unique cards (like... for Earth colonize Mars or something, which would also unlock playing on Mars).

And yes, I do play Reigns :p

I don't get it

Drip by arron-fowler 2021-04-27T09:05:11Z

@arron-fowler Oh I get the controls, I just don't get the algorithm you're supposed to figure out I guess. Sorry for wording it so vague before, I got a bit frustrated.
