A very meditative and beautiful game! Well done you guys for being able to do such a thing in a limited time! I would like to see a finished version of this game, of course

Would be nice to have a popup for different buildings, but still the production value is great :) Nice job!

The gameplay is really cozy, although I felt bad to destroy and cut everything down 😂. The music and graphics helps to create a cozy mood together with the animations, that is simple and nice. Nice game overall, curious to see progress in this one :)

Very relaxing and chill game. Lost track of the time for a few minutes there. Loved the animations and visuals. But the screams... oh, the screams, they are still echoing in my mind, lol. I keep telling my self that it was for a greater good.

@alisher-fazilov I'm not sure I agree about the meditative part. The "goal" of the game seems to be to remove any natural formation and destroy any population (they are screaming to their death) that stands in your way, to build shopping malls... The best outcome in my opinion is to leave the island as soon as you arrive. The creators did this in purpose (looking at the achievements) but since it's so obvious from the start, I didn't want to engage with any of the gameplay.

The game looks good and is well polished though.

It really gives me those zen vibes, with the aesthetics, the music, the voicing, I love it.
And the achievements even made me play a few more rounds to just get some more of those achievements!
Even those little comments are so funny! Haha!

The art is very pretty, and the menu look great. It looks polished.
The gameplay is relaxing although not very challenging.
The achievements succeeded in making me play again.
The voice effect is amusing, it works well, however it could do with more sounds when the buildings are in action.

I spent at least 30mn playing it, I'd say it's a success.

very zen game. I wish it had a skip button for the dialog, or even a speed up button to avoid having to wait for the resources to be smushed... or maybe that's the point... so I can marinate upon my decisions... are... are we the baddies? I can definitely see this more fleshed out with more levels.

Peaceful and relaxing experience.I like the sound of waves and piano lingering in my ears, and I also like the graphics of the game. And it also has a certain degree of strategy, which makes me feel like playing chess on a piece of art.

I really like this game, especially the water surface effect and the bounce when placing buildings, but I noticed that white buildings have some masking issues. They will be covered by the water surface, probably due to rendering level issues. Overall, it is a great game!

The game was really relaxing right up until I hear the screams of the native peoples.. really made me start thinking (which Im guessing was the point :wink:). The game overall is super polished and pleasing to look at

well done!

I love it! The artwork, the music, everything. It's gorgeous and very fun. I do really enjoy the tiled building.

Great work!

I like the achievements, makes it more replayable, to try to figure them out. Also the randomly generated islands. Nice work!

Some text goes fast away. And the mouse zoom is not working very well for me on browser at least. It zooms very fast with the scroll wheel. Maybe add option to press + and - to do the zooming also. Also WASD movement is very fast, I do prefer using MMB instead, because of that. Other than that everything seems to work.

Really love the graphics and the music fits really well! As said above, it kind of make me feel bad to destroy everything so I tend to leave the island early. It encourages you to take more place than to limit yourself, or am I wrong?

Very polished, well done!

Awesome little game. It is very polished and was super chill to just play casually. Would have loved a bit more buildings to plonk down to make my industrial town even more my own. All in all it was really good. Well done :smile:

Very relaxed and cozy game. Well, *cozy* until the genoci-... I mean until the reallocation of the island's inhabitants takes place.
I enjoyed the game a lot. Also came back for a bit of achievement hunting after the first playthrough. The game feels super polished in every aspect. Nice job!

Very cozy game. Really relaxing and soothing to play. I had a tile on my island that was completely surrounded by water. Maybe that is intentional, but it does prevent me from getting some achievements if that's what I am going for. Still, I guess I could just find a new island. Nice vibes, nice game!

Destroying the planet has never been this relaxing! I had fun getting all the achievements :)
The small details with background sounds is a nice touch, adds to the mood. The game fits the theme well too, and is really polished for a jam.

Very nice work!

Great camera panning in intro / tutorial. Great bobbing effect when placing buildings. Amazing mood in the game. Nice that you have achievements to hunt and some stats after finishing your island. Very polished and relaxing exploitation game :smile:

It's one of the best games here so far. I like strategies with building, the art is cute, great atmosphere and setting. It was kinda sad that It is possible to destroy local village -_- . I can totally see it as a complete game with some additions. Well done!

Really well made game. A lot of attention payed to various details making the experience feel very fleshed out. Can't have too much of bad puns either, and that it's a destructive building sim was also cool. I got 9 of the achievements, I think and tried to figure out how to get some more, but with very little to no hints it felt a bit too much try and retry figuring them out. Though not achievement kosher, but since achievements were kind of the end goal of the game, perhaps it could have said how many new ones of them were still possible at any given time in the play to hint at different ways of playing.

@local-minimum You can have the full description of the unlocking condition by clicking an achievement :) (This information has not been explicitly stated, except in this comment !) Thanks for giving it your best.

The visuals for this game were on point! The game definitely had a lot of polish to it.

Really liked the idea of combining puzzle game with resources management. And the game progression being based on achievements, but still letting you free to decide what to do and how to explore natural resources.

Very chill "destroy all the nature" game.

My first island spawned with a native village on an isolated tile with no adjacent tiles (just on a diagonal from the main landmass).
This prevented me to have 100% of native "relocated' and was quite frustrating as the random generation of the land was preventing me to complete my goals.

But honestly, it's a minor issue in what is overall an very polished entry!

Mmmh...I'm not sure what to think of this game... I'm put in a cozy atmosphere to destroy everything on my island....I think my real problem is that I enjoyed it :D
I honestly loved the music and sound work, the gameplay is very simple and works perfectly, great game.

I sure do like that ripple of tiles when you place a building.

The presentation is great, and the vibes are cozy. But the gameplay isn't for me, I just find it an an exercise in making things worse with no rhyme or reason other than starting a sawmill empire.

Wonderfull game. Everything fit perfectly. Good job.

Really like the way you use achievements to add replayability to your game. I'm missing some so I will do some other runs to have them.

Again good job.

I really like the clean graphics and the day transition animation. Along with de music it creates a great mood. Good job!

Beautiful graphics and nice (and clever) sounds! As others have said, it feels to destroy the island, so I just felt like leaving immediately — which means not playing the game much. :-/ I of course tried that approach, and wasn't surprised that you had prepared for that in the achievements. :-)

I still played it a bit further, cutting down forests and mountains, and the gameplay felt really smooth. Technically a really solid entry! Good job!
