Gameplay is attractive, I walked trough it with fun. Art is also cool, I liked the most the mood of the night. Soundtrack isn't probably the best part of the game, but it's still good.
Good game :)
I love this kind of game, I love building up my little empires in sim games. However, this game is a little too easy for me. I managed to win it in few minutes. But, I can't ask for more as this game is made in a very short time. The most fun game I had played, I guess :D
Very cool game, I really enjoy these types of games.=]
But great work!
It'd be better if it was harder, it was very easy and I had all the upgrades developed on the 8th of January.
I really enjoyed it anyway and I'm glad I saved the world :)
Absolutely brilliant :) So polished.!
Didn't quite get that R P O Q thing, but it's not crucial
Love the graphics and sound! :)
Cheers, Marcus
Thanks guys.
At one point the left side bar went behind the buttons on the right side bar. The hamburger philosophy button also gets hidden as it's over too far on that side of the screen.
It took me a while to realise that 'researching hamburgers' meant purchasing the hamburger button - I thought that was a one-off upgrade.
Having a pause button would also help immensely in a time-based game.
Overall a job well done, the operatic music was a really nice touch and I like the way the day/night animations were implemented. Good work guys!
I really appreciated the elaborate background (story, events), it really gives some life to the game.
Graphics are pretty.
Maybe some more infos about the stats, and what upgrades really do, could make the gameplay perfectly clear.
Great sprites, fun music, decent challenge, and a very innovative take on the theme.
Great work all around!
Thanks for such a fun entry! I hope you improve upon it!
VERY addictive tough!
(Ed 猫 bello vedere una entry fatta da compatrioti!)
Also I didn't wanted this popup to end the game when I won xD
Anyway, that was a lot of fun. Congratulations !
Meanwhile, my biggest grief is that I seem to get robbed (or something) all the time and there's no way for me to prevent the sudden losses of money. That just seems like a design flaw to add fake difficulty. It's keeping me from getting anywhere at the start for a long while. Not quite gamebreaking but super annoying.
The overlapping menus are a bit ugly too, not a good use of the limited screen space. Otherwise it looks and sounds good.
Very well done and addictive :D
From a gameplay standpoint, I want to say that it doesn't really feel like there are enough meaningful decisions, or really enough to do at any given moment, but, in the end, the charm of the world goes a long way.
