Tiny Town by SilverHammerMax
Congratulations! You have been elected mayor of this tiny town! As mayor, it is your job to manage the funds of the town and to improve the happiness of you residents. You must maintain happiness above -5 and avoid bankruptcy.
This game was my first submission to the Compo and was created in Rust using the Bevy Game Engine.

Edit: I noticed the 45 happiness goal, and that seems very hard! I managed to get to 38. It takes a lot of trial and error. Edit: I have the happiest town <3 In the end I played more than 10 rounds to get there. More depth to this than I thought at first. It was satisfying to reach the successful town. Maybe adding "give it another go?" style button if the player doesn't win, that way more people would notice it. In the end, finding this goal and trying to reach it gave the gameplay a lot more meaning. The balance was good and not too obvious. It is actually pretty well balanced but I was just approaching it hastily. I hope other raters also take the time to appreciate it.
It looks too easy :-) Screenshot was made in one step from win.
Congratulations on your first compo submission.
