The art looks very stylish.
But I had a problem with not seeing other islands first as I had no idea I needed to zoom out and I wish I could navigate using mouse only. Also when I deleted the building - not sure its contents were returned to me.
Well done!
@twilight-world Thank you as well :D
Elegant dependencies that make you think. I stuck around after beating it just to see if I could make a sustainable loop, and I could! So, your take on the theme makes even more sense :)
Great little game. Minor nitpick: I think I may have found a bug where a building was consuming the wrong input for the output it was providing.
I was kinda dumb and actually thought every island was isolated. Only after looking at the gifs when I was done playing did I see you could go across islands, so I had to go back in and try that haha.
Overall it's pretty good. The sense of discovery is there, just wanting to figure out what the next item may be. Very impressive game for a jam timespan!

This game is incredible. It is really amazing this happened in 72 hours. The visuals are just so nice. The sound effects also give a lot to the game and they double as music (not sure if it was intentional but they kind of keep a beat). The gameplay is fun and keeps you engaged as you try to produce more materials. It is a simple concept executed perfectly.

I WANT MORE! It is a shame that it finishes quite quickly, but I guess balancing a larger tech tree would not be possible in the game jam time limits.

* Selling babies is bad ?
* I definitely was not expecting the second recipe for meat :laughing:
Excellent game! Keep up the good work!
The art is beautiful, the gameplay is fun, controls are simple, the entire thing is hilarious and the theme is definitely touched upon. The most amazing part for me personally is just the amount of polish and quality that you managed to apply to this project. Building gobbling up effects, sounds, collisions with terrain, multiple well thought out production chains, and a progression system where you unlock new buildings and recipes. So many many things are implemented in this game, it is simply mindblowing that you've managed to pull that off in such a short time.
