Cool controls/concept! Simple, but elegant.

stylistically the most pretty game I have come across so far

I really like the way this looks though I'm not sure on the game mechanics. Just seems more time consuming than challenging. Nice entry!

This looks fantastic. Very resourceful use of simple animations. The control feels perfect.

Nice Job , be nice that when you clicked on a pyramid such as the oil rig or hovered over it said what it was

Interesting concept! It controls beautifully. The lighting and colors really do a good job at making the basic geometry look great.
Bemmu25 Aug 2014, 03:25
It was interesting to try and get all the combinations. I almost gave up at first as I couldn't figure out that I was supposed to drag things on top of each other on a certain type of terrain to get something to happen. The pleasing visuals are what kept me trying until I finally accidentally got something to happen. I continued until I had some orange barrels and then spent some time trying to combine them into each other over all terrain, but I suppose this is where you ran out of time.

Very simple graphics, but very aesthetically pleasing. I liked the overall concept, and I could definitely imagine this being expanded upon. It was tricky to figure out some of the logic behind where things should go.

I like the idea of it and the visual is neat, though it was a little frustrating to try moving things to every side and figuring out which side to combine things on.

The visual is so good but the mechanics is a bit frustrating. Nice job anyway. I imagine that you had a hard work on the gameplay.
Miziziziz25 Aug 2014, 04:21
This is pretty cool, feels kinda like Doodle God (that mobile game where you start with the basic elements and combine them to create new things). I feel like this could turn into a pretty cool mobile game (or PC game ;) ).
Also, the visuals are really cool and unique .
disdanes25 Aug 2014, 05:52
This was a pretty fun simple concept
varun25 Aug 2014, 07:31
Interesting abstract way of representing resource gathering. I feel like this game would have been just as apt for the alchemy theme.

This is sweet! Love the simple visual style. Fun to fiddle around with.

I took me some time to figure it all out but in the end the "resource managements" mechanic works very good with your visual style.

But remove the GUI and add some info/help :)
Rialgar25 Aug 2014, 17:16
looks great, also i have no idea what each thing meant, I tried to get as many orange barrels as possible, before the cube is filled up, and I got 81. I could do better if I tried again, because knowing the mechanics helps, but that would be plain boring, doscovering it was the fun. A simple "yay, you made a orange barrel, thats cool" or some reward for combining stuff on ice would make it way more satisfactory

Very beautiful game and I like the idea. It was a bit hard to figure out how to play, but it was interesting nonetheless.

It really looks like something you want to play with. What you can actually do is still limited, but there is potential for something really awesome!~

I love looking at the water.
laremere25 Aug 2014, 19:04
The thumbnail drew me in. I like the simplistic design of the cube and the terrain. I can't tell what half of the items are supposed to be. The game play and style shows promise but as it stands doesn't appear to have much point.

Love the style of the cube, found moving stuff a bit awkward and might've preferred to turn the cube manually, but that's just me.

Very fun and interesting to play! However I would like to see some information/legend. I could only guess what are all those triangles/cylinders :D

Nice idea, really like the gfx style, controls a bit sticky sometimes, would have been better with cursor-key rotation.
Good work!

It's an attractive prototype and the controls are interesting, though there's not a lot of motivation for players to build things.

The models are nice in a sort of "German style board game" way but I wouldn't mind more detail.
tbamberg26 Aug 2014, 22:22
Very pretty, finding the combos was fun

mrexcessive29 Aug 2014, 19:27
Hi there. Very nice looking, shame no sound. Probably some clear instruction that wood cylinders need to be combined on the desert... to get people started - in game 'cos who reads everything else... Bookmarked for another relook later. Good job!

Interesting concept. Map & mechanics is a little confusing at first, but easy to pick up once the momentum starts.

Loving the art on this one. :D
SaintHeiser30 Aug 2014, 03:37
Idea looking promising. But it's hard to understand. And final point isn't clear.
Gaeel30 Aug 2014, 20:32
Looks very nice, has a nice "toy" feel to it...
sephyka1 Sep 2014, 18:09
Same than Mase "it's an attractive prototype and the controls are interesting". I really like the ergonomy and the simples 3D graphics of your game. Very good.

Really innovative concept and polished graphics! But I think the drag control is not so convenient, maybe just click to select and click again to drop will be better. Well done!

Super clean game with very good graphics ! It has a good potential. You have to finish it ;)

Great base, but needs more content. Still, I had fun with it. Good controls and I loved the art. Good job!

Very pretty with good view controls, but the merge mechanic was really hard to grasp, especially because of the biome element. I couldn't figure out a use for the ice biome. In the end I stacked up orange cylinders across the world for a score of 74.
