Hello! I tried to start the game, but it closes immediately. I remembered that I did not update java. I updated. But the game still does not start (( Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I open it with Java(TM) Platform SE binary (newer version, Windows 7)
You have made a movais compilation of your game, I have to java a lot of year so I have all the DLL and VM for it to work but the game is launched directly, test the build version before distributing it ...
Hey i tried a little, i think it needs more explanations because i didn't understand the full gameplay. Is there a button to replace a component if i made a mistake ?
@monogatari There is no such button, partly because we ran short on time, and partly because we thought it was important to mind your decisions wisely. In future updates though, we will most certainly create a tutorial for the game.
A fun concept with plenty of potential for future development - logistical games are often something that I enjoy. It could definitely use a few more items and a way to destroy/replace old ones, but I'm sure those are planned given more time. There were a couple of times were I got a game over screen seemingly without warning - I'm guessing it was due to to a failed rent payment (even though I had around $300), but it ought to be a bit clearer when you're in danger of losing. I liked the graphical and audio styles, though the music could really do with being a bit longer so it doesn't loop as often.
I look forward so seeing how this progresses, nice work!
A decent entry, love the art and colors. Gameplay is really addictive, but lacks funcionality like removing things mistakenly installed or just moving them. The item bar is a little confusing. I'd suggest you group items with their labels better or include some kind of separators to improve glance value™. Notice how Internet/Electricity cables and their labels are very far apart to the point where internet cable appears to be labeled as an electricity cable at a quick glance. But that's just a very minor complaint. Good job, guys, keep it up!
I really like the graphics of this! Espacially the animated background is really neat. What I'm really missing is a way to remove placed objects, and a visual tutorial. I don't think everything is clear from the bit of text or just looking at the game screen. One thing that would be neat is to drag power and internet lines instead of needing to click for every single one.
Overall it's a nice idea and further developed can be a good game!
One idea that just came to my mind would be to speed things up a lot, but have a pause button for modifying the setup. Or have a speedup button that needs to be kept pressed to work, so that gameplay becomes a little more interesting by being faster.
One of the more unique games i have seen, its interesting but a good manual or tutorial would really have helped to get into the game a bit faster i think. But this definitely has potential for a post jam version

Well done.
