But the game concept is great ! Graphics are goods. No audio ?
Game could use some music and sound effects. Graphics are very good! Keep working on it, it shows great promise
Personally I found the drop-requirement for even the smallest structures to be a little too high, since those structures then decay over time anyway, & lost repeatedly due to the fertiliser sack failing to show up in the roulette for extended periods. (Could perhaps be worth buildings not collapsing from lack of fertiliser, but left on verge of collapse so first enemy who appears can knock them over like cardboard.)
There is no audio, we haven't had the time to make it (and we are not so good music players. Jox plays some kazoo and rattletrap and I have some rests of middle school's flute).
And for the difficulty... I made my best to reduce it and keep some challenge. Maybe with some practice (sorry for those who were frustrated).
Anyway we will keep the idea and improve it later.
(And thanks to Google for some franch/english approximative translation).
Anyway, good job.
