Head Spin Builder - Sacrifice Edition! by meursault
The next entry in the famous Head Spin series brings you an epic adventure of building and sustaining a society: Head Spin Builder - Sacrifice Edition!
The problem? The Head Spinners believe in the Spinning God and it demands a daily spinning sacrifice! Because their heads are the only thing spinning in this world, they are sacrificing themselves. And they love it!
Your job is to keep the society of Head Spinners running, eventhough every two ingame days one Head Spinner must be sacrificed.
The games are short and have no end state - except losing. When you figure out how to keep the society running, there will no be additional challenge.
I'm looking forward to your feedback :-)

How To Play
- Move Camera: WASD, Arrow Keys or clicking middle or right mouse button.
- Camera Zoom: Mouse Wheel, or Q and E.
- Select and Build: Left Mouse Click. Unselect: Right Mouse Click.
- Build resource extraction buildings to automatically harvest wood, stone and food. But the resources are finite!
- Every Head Spinner consumes one food at the end of the day. Don't let them starve!
- Building Reproduction Caves will create a new Head Spinner. But they are expensive and take long.
- Build homes to accommodate more Head Spinners.
- Every two days the Almighty Spinning God demands sacrifice. And the Head Spinners love it! You select the chosen one. Keep in mind that you will lose a Head Spinner every two days.
- You lose when all your Head Spinners are dead or sacrificed. The goal is to keep going as long as possible.
- Harder Difficulty starts you with less resources.
Technical Things
The game is built with Monogame, to run it you need to download and install the latest .Net Framework Runtime.
You can play the game on linux. Simply download the windows build and execute the .exe with the Mono Runtime. The linux build contains a Mono Runtime and is therefore so much bigger.
The assets are created with PyxelEdit, ChipTone, Bosca Ceoil.
You can easily adjust the resolution and fullscreen settings in the Content/config.xml file.
or download the linux build that contains the runtime. Start

Still it is a solid entry.
Even it's not so challenging, the idea is cool and well implemented, bravo!
(I just found 2 bugs: House increase population possibilities before construction, and I got some Head Spin stuck here: )
