It took me a while to figure it out, clicking a bit everywhere until something happens :D

Once I understood how it works, it went pretty well, everything felt kinda smooth and there was enough content to keep me entertained without getting boring.

I was not expecting a strategy game like this for the jam, it was a nice surprise!

Nice game!

I really like your concept! I soft-locked myself the first time by building something other than the lumbermill so you may want to have that spawned in by default but other than that it was fun to play. I'm not sure if it was a bug or just me not understanding but I couldn't figure out how to create units to fight from the buildings but it was still really nice!

It's a good idea to spawn a lumbermill at the beginning of the game. I'll keep it in mind in the future. 

Thanks for the feedback :)

I completed both quests!

Took me a while to figure out how to actually play, I think having no text made it quite difficult. But it was cool, looked great and sounded great.

Took me a little while to realise you could right click/scroll right on the building UI (my scroll button is broken atm so I dont know if that works). I thought I couldn't build anything for a while, or that I needed to use existing buildings.

I think it was also taking resources when I was failing to build units or trying to put buildings on tiles that had forests/buildings etc.

All in all nice work for a weekend! It's tough but you did a great job.

Also I couldn't figure out how to get more than one soldier so I just sent one in at a time lol.

I think a day night cycle could have been cool to visualise time passing as well.

Thanks for the detailed review <3

I might be the wrong person to give this a review, but nothing I press works, The mouse buttons just make sounds and I cant get any resources. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Please let me know what I am supposed to do so I can give a real review!

Hello, Decalierce)

Unfortunately, the desire to complete the bonus challenge causes a negative gaming experience. I'm sorry.

I should have added a little guide, I guess. Most likely, the problem is that you didn't have enough resources when trying to build. Clicking on the hexagon opens a menu with buildings that we can build and they have their price (current resources are marked on the top left). At the very beginning of the game, we only have enough for the lumberjack's building. 

In general, there are two quests in the game, they are marked with a book icon.
