Natural Resources are limited and the moment when we'll run out of them is inevitable. Delay it by investing in science to create The Breakthrough before all the resources go.

How to play

- Click on hexes to build on them
- Select what you gonna build on a hex - City or Production. Click one more time on the same hex to upgrade.
- Production will mine resources from hexes and City will consume resources and create Science points and buff Production from close neighbor hexes.
- This is a turn-based strategy game, you will get resources from Production hexes every turn. Every build action will be considered as a turn.
- Resources are limited. If a hex becomes empty it will visually turn into a desert.
- You will win if you will research the Airship before running out of resources.

I realy enjoyed your game, the "ploping" sound when clicking on new fields was amazing :) although sometimes I had to reload since I couldnt do anything anymore. But realy great game otherwise.

Nice game. Unfortunately I sometimes came to situations where no actions were left but the game over screen did not appear.
I also did not get when deserts get created.
But with a little bit more polish, this could a be very addictive game.
Keep jamming :)

This was very cool and felt polished :)
Some better user feedback on what field yields what would help a lot.
I can imagine a chill background music to fit this game perfectly!

Interesting idea, I didn't win but it was fun. Except part where I change all into the desert...

Relaxing. But feels kinda pointless to be honest, but that's a purpose of theme i guess. Nice tiles tho!

I got invested in this game almost immediately, good job. The huge bummer is the "game over: no moves left" dialog: it often appears when moves are still possible (and the game even lets you) and sometimes does not appear when there are no moves left for real.

Very high quality work. You managed to create a simple but interesting strategy.

The game looked wonderful! And the polished animations with sound effects for every action were so satisfying. Really nice job here.

The only critique I can give you is to work on player onboarding. It took me a few rounds to really understand how everything related to one another. I'm glad I stuck through it though, the game was surprisingly engaging. Congrats!

Wow yeah really neat game when I took the time to figure it out. It took me until day 100 on my 5th try to complete it. It is very satisfying to do anything with the little *plop* sound effect! And yes, the graphics are really nice. Would like to have seen another map to play on and maybe a restart button :smiley:. Thanks for the game and good job!

Great game! It was a lot of fun to play. I was able to win in 88 days, and I left only a single forest on the whole island XD The game mechanics are super well design!

Fun little game. I managed to lose around 8 times before I gave up. I got pretty close to the airship at least once, but I managed to somehow use all the iron(?) before I could build it lol

@rubixnoob13, thanks for your feedback and your tries! I'm sorry to hear that you couldn't make it to the end. We was trying to make the game balanced, without cheat strategies. We will try to make it more understandable and exciting!

This is my kind of game. =) I like the very simple choice of deciding where to click, but there are subtle implications for each choice. I also like the animation and audio feedback for every turn. It made me feel like my "kingdom" was growing, even if it was also decaying. The difficulty curve is maybe a bit easy, as I won on my first try, but it was really close. Nice work!

An interesting puzzle with good theming. The gamefeel when you're accumulating resources is great. Nice job!

Didn't realise you could build multiple towns at first, but once I did it was quite enjoyable :)
