Death can be very frustrating when you forgot to connect just one tile while trying to please this bastard duke.\r\rSome requirements can't be fulfilled, like the ratcaller when your city contains only 3 tiles of slums.\r\rThat's a great game and I found myself play a bit longer than I should.\r\rVery good entry."},{"author_name":"AnotherZero","author_uid":"91611","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 1:15pm","epoch":1460985000,"text":"Very nice game"},{"author_name":"TLansdale","author_uid":"55932","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 2:04pm","epoch":1460987940,"text":"The ratcatcher is a weird one because he only spawns when you have 6+ slums and satisfying him quickly upgrades your slums to villas - so he may actually make himself impossible to please!\r\rIf I had more time, I'd definitely have put time in to try to make sure you always had something new to do every round, and you could always please all of your visitors. Even so, the "core path" of key visitors are the only ones who will win\/lose the game for you so it should always be winnable if you focus on them."},{"author_name":"Dragonbearwizard","author_uid":"92985","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 2:05pm","epoch":1460988000,"text":"i like the concept of this puzzle game and the little building look adorable, however it really stressed me out, just not the game for me. but it is unique and should definitely not go unnoticed. 7\/10"},{"author_name":"MintArcade","author_uid":"35966","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 4:11pm","epoch":1460995560,"text":"Very nice idea!

Sometimes it was a little confusing what I was supposed to do. I had the artist on a piece with 2 road connections, and he wanted to see 4 towers or gardens? But I only have 2 road connections? Maybe you can resolve this by a little tutorial or a little diagram.\r\rOther than that it could be nice if you could add a little text to each tile what kind of tile it is, and then maybe turn it on or off with a shortcut, so you don't need to guess\/check from your description which is which.\r\rAll in all a solid entry."},{"author_name":"DesignerNap","author_uid":"21374","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 6:35pm","epoch":1461004200,"text":"well Tlansdale..

The interface is a bit difficult to read, specially telling what the sides of a tile are. However,the core of the game is extremely good (if a bit reminiscent of Carcassone). The gameplay loop is compelling and I felt satisfied by completing each task. One thing I would do is focus on an algorithm that made the game more challenging as you went, since often situations would resolve themselves or require one change, then boom massive ovehaul.\rOh, and as a red\/green colourblind person I should point out that I had a great deal of trouble telling satisfied citizens from unsatisfied ones.\r\rGreat job!"},{"author_name":"TLansdale","author_uid":"55932","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 9:17pm","epoch":1461013920,"text":"Sorry for the red\/green unreadability, nintendoeats!

The introduction of multiple visitors at once was fantastic, especially when some of them had very similar wishes. \r\rI also really liked how when the tiles had a side that wasn't joined up that there was feedback to inform the player, however the reason I lost was I couldn't see what tile wasn't connected to another one, my bad."}],"images":["ld35\/55932-cf100d7ac9be45d44a430485af230cd2.jpg","ld35\/55932-2c6f3749dff09d25afbf079b570b72e0.jpg","ld35\/55932-f4d112dd1a7223ba8407b5c2df0237ce.jpg","ld35\/55932-7b3350b6898fe43c025962f3d3c80b83.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/tlansdale.itch.io\/shift-city","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/tlansdale.itch.io\/shift-city","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/tlansdale.itch.io\/shift-city","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"4576","g_author":"55932","g_event":"LD35","g_eventkey":"33","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"4566","g_title":"Shift City","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"135","g_commentcount":"27","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/55932-shot0-1460931101.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/55932-shot1-1460931101.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/55932-shot2-1460931101.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/55932-shot3-1460931101.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"","title":"Shift City"}
