Other than the font being a little small to read, I love it! It's the first game in my folder of games to play more of later ^_^ Great job it's fun!

it was a little difficult to figure out was produced the different resources.

On a laptop screen, that font is *really* hard to read. Also, build a money maker first, otherwise you're stuck.

The game has some potential.

Boy those controls are awkward, but I blame the theme ^.^ Cute graphics. I would have liked if your guy could go faster.

A bit small, but I think I'm going to have this open for a while on my desktop ^.^

Whoops I rated the wrong game initially, got confused, sorry. I like these games! There was a lot of waiting though, then a lot of clicking. Still addicting.

The font is very hard to read as the others already pointed out. It would be also nice to have tooltip showing what each of the building do, I didn't know trees has to build next to the wells for example. Also it seems to be very easy to run out of money if I don't know what I'm doing in the beginning. With that say, the graphics is very lovely and fits the them very well. I will definitely play more of this game if you continue working on this a bit more :) I've done strategy games twice before and I know it is extremely time consuming to make one so well done!

A game for ants. :D Nice work, although like others have said, all the stuff is waaaayyy too small. I had to bend over my desk and press my nose against the screen to see what's happening!

Nicely implemented, could have done with larger font size for text and some sounds.

Was really cool, never got really far. But it was great fun. :D

Really hard to understand what to do. But seemed fun on the long run too.

Hi, nice to meet you, I'm your target market. Seriously, I spent an uncomfortable amount of time on this game. Well done. I wish the beginning wasn't so... click-spammy, but otherwise, this has the makings for a great game, perhaps with some enemies and larger text. ;) For an LD entry though, this was fantastic!

It has potential but it takes a bit too long to get anywhere, so I couldn't afford the time to keep playing.

I also thought the instructions were too small, difficult to read and not well organized. I ended up spending my resources in a way that I couldn't proceed any further due to running out. This could have been prevented if the bulldoze option gave you resources back.

Nonetheless, if I fully understood the way to play it and I had more time, I think I'd enjoy the game. I do like games like these. If you continue work on it and would like me to look at it again, feel free to let me know and I will when I have a chance.

It's apparent you put a lot of work into it, so good job and good luck with future projects. ^^

I have clicked everything.. there is no feedback and I have no clue what the game is about.

Awesome game. Played for about an hour to completion. Wished it had some sound effects and a bit more feedback to what each building needs and does. But that's how it is in compo xD I really liked the effect when you clicked on a building and the little text popped up and faded away. Great entry ;9

Took me 3 try to understand the resource management (clicking on resources)
Good job, but a bit slow to my taste, maybe the mine giving the double should speed up the game without click frenesy.
