Nice little core gameplay loop you've got there. It's fun to see how many villagers you can get to pop out before everything falls apart, and it definitely has a thematic feel to it with things getting more and more hectic and unstable as the game goes on. Would love to see this expanded with additional mechanics in the future!

Very fun concept, engaging gameplay loop and good progression!

Things get out of hand very quickly and mass imprisonment goes thru the roof! Neat game, could really see this becoming even more fun with some extra mechanics! Overall very well made for a jam game!

Good gamplay loop, music fits the theme and I see you've had fun screaming angrily. Solid game. I was missing some feedback on clicking the button and an ability to cancel selected action would be nice. Other than that I don't know why at one point 90% of the population got angry.

Great little concept, things get pretty wild when the population gets a bit big. As others have said, some additional mechanics could really flesh this one out, has a lot of potential. Nice little game!

Nice little game. Has definetly some potential do build upon in the future. Like constantly getting money per villager (that is not in prison) and investing those money in buildings to automate things (bakery for foody supply). And then they get other needs with time like wood, clothes etc. that you need to fulfil and where you can invest in more buildings

Straight forward and fun - good job :) I think some sort of upgrades would be a nice addition to give the gameplay a bit more longevity, or maybe a feature that lets you hire villagers to go around helping you feed people. (idk, just some ideas I had while playing).

Here's the best score I got across some tries:

Nice simple game, although riot starts to get inevitable after 70 population :laughing: would prefer a less punishing mechanic but great job regardless!

Never thought capturing a precise blob of rioters without touching any non-angry people could be this satisfying :D Nice work!

The idea is cool but the mass riot seems inevitable after some time. Overall it is a cool little game tho, congrats on it.
