Design Statement
The rising melody was giving me ideas of growth/development, so I fiddled around with simple city/base building ideas that I could feasibly make within that time. Didn't have time to make the cool ones. Settled on the most basic game idea possible to be frank, but I think there are some nice touches. The main thing is the hierarchy of needs - you need to make sure every house has the basics before moving on.
To be 100% I just got into pixel art and wanted to practice. It's a little jank but hopefully in an endearing way.
Game Instructions (launch steps, controls, and gameplay overview)
In-depth control hints are in game, it's a web build you can play with only a mouse so nothing fancy

I found it fun and cozy. The art and the gameplay fits the concept really well. Great job!
Very endearing and not jank at all! Takes a second to lock in but the UI and tooltips make everything very clear. The art is very cute. Designing a city builder around the hierarchy of needs is a very inspired idea, I liked that aspect a lot. If I have any feedback, it's that the song was a bit repetitive (but even then it wasn't an issue).
nice game
