This game deserves more rating, never thought loop can be implement to climate crisis. I must point out the way it's all interconnected is amazing, probably best one i've seen so far. Wish sim city builder has more fans. Great work mate

Developer

Thank you so much!

As others have mentioned it could use some better tutorial-ization, but really cool how all the systems work together! I think it might be easier to start if the player starts with a much smaller zone, then when they "win", it zooms out to a larger map and just keeps going. Great work!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! The zooming out sounds like an interesting idea.

There was a bit of information overload I'll admit, but I applaud the commitment to getting all those interconnected systems working. This feels like it could hit hard with the right audience.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I agree it's definitely an information overload.

Tried it but it's really overwhelming in term of tutorial informations (not really a strategy game guy) and it really lag in my web browser for some reason, especially the camera movement unfortunately.
But it looks really well made in term of strategy and I love the ecological message !

Thank you for trying! I have a hunch why the camera movement is so bad in the web version. It was fine with my first upload, and it got worse after I added music, so possibly the file size. But thanks again for trying it!

I know it hasent been to long into rating yet, but this is already criminally underrated, the fact that you managed to make something like this in 4 days is so cool, this should have way more ratings!

Developer

Ah that is so kind, thank you very much!

It is a really cool game; However, it is very laggy

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I think it's possibly because of the file size for the web version, my early test version ran much better.

Tried playing, but it froze my browser and crashed. :(

Developer

Ah, sorry to hear. I have a hunch it's linked to the file size so I'll look into that.
