I played a similar game from a previous ludum dare, it isn't innovative for me.
The hitbox of the appartment building is quite large.

I really like the graphics

we have only realized later that someone else made a similar game, and it was too late to Abort the whole Project then, since we have already put a lot of effort into it. but thank you for the compliment on the graphics @h-m-murdock

This is a nice game with clean graphics and easy gameplay. I would love to be able to select where to put my buildings. The game seems to end to soon too, when there are still plenty of trees and plenty of open space - it would be great if you could really fill the whole planet with buildings.
The buttons are too close to the planet(not like in the gif), I purchased several of those apartment blocks by accident when trying to save for a factory.

great graphics!but i cant really understand what i m going to do ...i like the use of theme,but isn't there any ways to raise O2....?If i bulid too many building i cant do anything but die..maybe you can add some other way to produce wood or some other resource for build? or some bulidings which can produce o2 but have less point in the end? anyway good job! thank you for provid web way to play it.

Nice game, enjoyed playing it. Though I found a lack of challenge, and a little bit monotonous after a bit, but good game nonetheless.

Really interesting use of the theme ! I can't see where the vile terrorists are though

I think since you use low-poly 3d models, you shoudn't use realistic texture on it. The planet looks so inconsistent with other object

Really great entry, the rotation and clicking is smooth. I'm not quite sure if there were actually any terrorists or if there was anything special that the buildings did? I just clicked on all the trees and built a tonne of factories. Either way, lots of promise here!

@flying-dog-fish first of all, thanks for all the feedback and kind words :)
We have noticed the bug with the apartment building button as well and will try to fix it as soon as possible.
Concerning the end of the game, we need to balance the air diminishment by the buildings again so the game will last longer and you will be able to populate the planet with even more buildings

Since @scott-redrup and @myrmyxo were wondering about the terrorist. Due to time restrictions they sadly missed out on messing up your gameplay. (Probably should change the intro text tho)

I love the idea you have here on the theme! Trees = Life = Currency, very clever! Overall it's a great idea, I wish some of the buildings would help gather trees (maybe a lumber yard or something). Spinning the planet is a little sensitive I think but I really enjoyed the interaction between buildings and trees in the oxygen system. Nice work!

Looks and plays very well, but I don't understand the goal. :c
Good job anyway!

Simple but nice gameplay!
I have to say, I'm not too keen about the graphics.. I find everything a little to dark and too dull in color.
A little different artstyle with brighter colors would have worked a lot better I think.

Also, as a note, sometimes the dragging of the planet is a little jittery while using a touchpad, because it somehow tries to select some text on the page. It#s not a huge deal, just wanted to let you know.

I liked the idea, I would like to choose the position of the buildings. I liked the artstyle and was simple. Nice game!

There is a problem from the hitbox of the 3rd button (it's too large and covers the map).
I don't really understang the goal of this game, you just can wait to have the best houseand just wait.

Very well done! A background music would be nice. I reached the goal a bit early (only built four houses) and couldn't understand what I had done (wrong).

The goal of the game is not obvious. I played several times with different tactics and didn't meet any terrorists. Where are they?

I had a strange feeling that something is missing in the economics or I didn't understood the purpose :/ But I hope it could be polished, anyway, it's a really good game, I like the idea of the whole planet in my hand :D And very nice 3D graphics, I appreciate them! ;)

The graphics are okay, but the goal isnt set. The game has a message, but the fun is not there.

Managing a small planet like this is a concept that I really like, and one that could be taken much further. Unfortunately this game is way too simple and becomes repetitive almost immediately. Some audio would also go a long way in making the game more immersive. It does sort of fit the theme in an interesting way, which I do like!
