I really like the art, I saw the art quite early on in development and I thought it looked good then. Althought it's a bit difficult to see the art at the resolution / screen size it is and the numbers can be quite difficult to read on the treas. After reading the itch page I understood a bit more about the objectives althought there's a few different values in the bottom right, which is a bit confusing on what I need to pay attention to / what's changing. The sound effects are also really nice althought occasionally the different pitch when I harvested wood made me think I'd harvested it at the wrong time (I'm not sure if that's the case or not).
Thank you I used free assets from kenney they are free for everyone to use if you like them you can find them here :) https://kenney.nl/
WAY too grindy without introducing any new mechanics. The idea is pretty sound but it's just too much of a click-fest without much in the way of giving the player a feeling of satisfaction. I think with a little rework this could be a lot of fun though. Good job on getting something submitted for the jam!
Thank you! I agree I can work on the amount of experience and money needed as well as introducing new plants and things to break up the clicking. I also want to have a way of planting more than one tree at a time maybe that would help with the click-fest.
I like the minimalistic style and how everything happens on one screen. Feels clean and focused.
I do wish I could play the game in fullscreen, though!
I tried to beat the game, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to buy the fifth house.
After saving and reloading, all houses became available for purchase again.
When I clicked on one of them, I got this error:
ERROR in action number 1
of Step Event0 for object Control_Obj:
Variable <unknown_object>.houses_rebuilt(100022, -2147483648) not set before reading it.
