Don't worry, nobody knows what they are supposed to do.

We're all just out here acting the way we think adults should act.

I dont get it, but when things started building it felt pretty cool :)

Cool! It's not extremely engaging, but it was very satisfying seeing the buildings spread! And apparently I died a nrillionaire, so that's cool!

10/10 would gentrify the forest again. I also do not understand why I die at the end after I cleared everything.

It was... Deep. Kinda. Not sure if you should call it a game since it has no challenge in it. It's more of a piece of digital art. The one I actually like! Nice art style, love the colors and, well, forms. =)

You know, for a game with social overtones, you could not bother so much. Not to say that I will replay it, but in my opinion it turned out cool. Very cool idea with a bit that increases as the game progresses. Cool visual does not seem monotonous. In a word, very good! Keep it up!

The graphics are cute.

I feel like it would have been good to include a tutorial or explanation screen at the start. It's not quite clear how your actions impact the world.

I think I made a LOT of money :) Is there a reason the trees turn brown in some places?

Wow plutôt intense et touchant, très bonne idée plutôt bon message (à en lire les commentaires je suis pas sure que tout le monde l'ai compris?) Mais moi j'ai passé un bon moment, l'ambiance est très bien travaillé et les graphismes cool !

I'm confused. But I think that's the point so I'm happy.

Lovely art style !

Its really satisfying how the buildings erect from the ground. And the heartbeat gave a chilling atmosphere and the message is also strong. no trees = no oxygen = no life. nicely done

Great take on the theme, shows us that wealth is worthless and also shows us how horrible our sociaty really is. Is the a meaning behind the last number: 3 706 362 111 586 287 000 or is it just random increment?

Nooo, I didn't want to destroy that beautiful forest just to build those ugly-ass buildings! :D This game is sad! But done really nicely, I felt a moment of panic when those buildings started to consume my forest! Great entry!
