Tidal Towns is a city builder/puzzle in which your city is sinking. Due to rising sea levels, sections of your city are falling below the water. It is your job as mayor to ensure all of your residents have a home after the rise.
> Please note that you can't get the gist of the game in 2 minutes and is not ideal if you are looking to rate it quickly for karma. This will probably take ~10 minutes to have a good enough idea to rate properly.
There is a list of bugs near the end of the description. Reading may be helpful to avoid confusion.
- `ctrl + G` to give +10 of each resource.
- Sound effects from Kenney, Material Design, and many other sources
- Water inspired from Wind Waker.
- On the first non tutorial level (second level), the highest point is on the the left, the right side is lower.
- The tutorial says to use `ctrl + click` to select / drop residents and click selects only one. There was a last minute change so that clicking selects all by default.
- The arcology says it costs 20 of each recourse. This is an error, it only costs 15 of each resource.
- The Luxury house model is double sized for some reason, but the footprint is the same as it should be (much smaller)
- On some machines, restarting occasionally does not give you starting gold. If this happens, restart until you get it.
- You can place buildings partially in walls and over cliffs.
