Well balanced and challenging at the right pace. Very low learning curve (very transparent) and much fun. Nice background music and polished graphics.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Enjoyed it!"},{"author_name":"Rothens","author_uid":"25028","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 9:15am","epoch":1409044200,"text":"Okay, I almost managed to get that 100 people :) By the way put a goblet with the number 100 near the people counter, so the player will remember what is their goal ;)\r<br\/>Anyway, I loved the music, and I will try to reach the 100 again. :)"},{"author_name":"Rocketship","author_uid":"39351","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 9:19am","epoch":1409044440,"text":"Very enjoyable light strategy!

Nice game.

At first play, i was wondering why the excavating does not work, then i realised that i need to assign workforce. Also i like the idea of huge plants, however I dont understand it such huge plants can survive on the surface, why not humans? It has something to do with the CO2 level?"},{"author_name":"dark_hunter","author_uid":"17851","time":"Aug 29, 2014 @ 8:47am","epoch":1409301720,"text":"Yeah, the surface has become improper to sustain human life, but still good enough for plants to grow even bigger (even if that makes no sense). So humans must live underground, releasing on the surface most CO2 they produce, so the plants can convert it to O2, and then be sucked back into the undergound city."},{"author_name":"bluesky","author_uid":"40978","time":"Sep 1, 2014 @ 7:45pm","epoch":1409600400,"text":"Nice entry, well done."},{"author_name":"IsaacL.Balogh","author_uid":"25471","time":"Sep 1, 2014 @ 7:51pm","epoch":1409600760,"text":"Though I'm not too sure how this is supposed to be connected worlds I really liked it! It's like an rts without the single unit management, very enjoyable, the music fit, the gameplay is great the only thing I can say is maybe a few animations would make it look better other than that great job!"},{"author_name":"kibertoad","author_uid":"7122","time":"Sep 1, 2014 @ 8:10pm","epoch":1409601900,"text":"Extremely well-made ludum strategy, nice and polished gameplay, great interface and enough variety in graphics to keep things interesting. The only thing I didn't get is the endgame. Is there some sort of goal that needs to be reached? I made it through 60 turns, filled all the tiles and it just gave me &quot;game over&quot; screen. Did I win or did I lose?"},{"author_name":"dark_hunter","author_uid":"17851","time":"Sep 1, 2014 @ 8:24pm","epoch":1409602740,"text":"In the tutorial says that your goal is to reach 100 population before you reach 60 turns.
