City Limits by egawag

[raw]
made by egawag for LD 42 (JAM)

Welcome to City Limits. Where you have to build the largest city possible with just 16 city plots and 3 minutes.

Tutorial Zoomed.png

Place down a wide selection of buildings in your city to try and get the most people and largest income possible. Each building either likes or dislikes being next to other types of building so you have to be extra careful when planning where to put your buildings.

I love this! Easily my favorite game from the jam so far. Superb entry, I have nothing to criticize. Also, thank you for including a web build! Not enough projects make that available.

It was fun! I liked the "figure-it-out" gameplay.

Good stuff! Loved the dynamic music. Would be cool to have a couple more levels with limitations such as a forest block in the middle or funky tile shapes. Also the fail sound jumpscared me a bit which is funny! Great entry!!

Also, not sure if I was doing it right cause of the "figure-it-out" aspect, but that's the game, right?

A good game idea, the music should be improved. The graphics are good.
Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)

Fun but difficult little city builder. I only managed to fill the bars about 40%.
I wanted to build the Town Hall but it was hard getting that kind of money.
Liked the challenge, could probably spend some more time trying to min-max my strategy.
Audio was very nice, and the graphics looked really good!

Nice game and idea. Also dynamic music is cool too.
Also I found a bug which allows to build buildings on slot with building

@awix Thanks for playing! What would you suggest for improving the music for next time?

Very nice game! Great assets (I was surprised by the dynamic music) and fun mechanics~ I wished there was an option to destroy building, do you think it would not fit the theme? ![キャプチャ.PNG](///raw/30a/1/z/1a820.png)

I almost ran out of food :laughing:

Cheers!

Nice entry! Congrats. :smile:

I enjoyed playing around with placing the buildings in the samll city. The first time I had quite a nice score already. ^^ The following attempt I was a bit shocked by the game-over sound. ;) I liked the build-up in the music (but it seemed to end early?). I like the 3D graphics with all the little details like airplanes and cars, the UI graphics could perhaps be altered a bit to fit the in-game graphics even better.

The way the resources are added/substracted every time unit is nice, but it feels a bit unnatural for the happiness aspect. Some hover-over information would be nice (for both the UI in the bottom and the buildings already built), as well as a visual clue about if and what you selected in the available buildings column on the left.

I played a couple of times, and usually got a score around 2000/90. I wonder what is the maximum score possible. :slight_smile:

Well done!

@papaver thanks for playing! when we work on the game in the future (which we hopefully will be doing), we will definitely add all of your suggestions. Highest score I have ever gotten is 3014 population(yes it is possible), and 70 income.
