This is a visually stunning piece! As others have mentioned, a built in tutorial/tooltips would've been helpful, just at the minimum making players start with the windpumps first before they start placing the other ones to balance out the resources. I did not put down the windpumps first at all, haha. The music is quickly repetitive, but I could see the tone you were going for to match the vibe of this game. Regardless, you did a great job with this submission!
I like the idle aspect of the game along with the art. I think maybe a slower introduction to the gameplay mechanics would really polish it along with possibly upgrading structures, but well made for jam congratulations!
art was really nice - some of the audio was a little annoying. As others have said tooltips would have made this easier to play. Think it scales a little too quickly so that combined with the lack of information make it hard to juggle things. Like the idea though, could be a fun idle desktop game!
I wish there was some more tooltips for stuff like the resource, showing your production and demand of it.
Tooltips for what the buildings do aswell!
Really enjoyed the art style, keep it up!
The music could use some work, it sounded fine but was repetetive for the five minutes.
Will be cool to see what you could make this game into if you decide to iterate further on it :)
its cool but the clicker was bugging out for me( it was spinning the wrong windmill ig), but love the art style
I really like the idea of a spinning cookie clicker kinda thing, my only gripe is the music was very annoying.
I really like the aesthetics of the pixel art. It looks really good. Definitely on theme with the spinning windmills. The fact they occasionally broke was an interesting touch. I'm also very glad you had an autoclicker!
Awesome game! I love the attention to detail with your particles. It makes the game feel really well polished. The unusual screen resolution also makes this game stand out from others. Whenever a new house spawned my game did lag for a second. Also, for your game description, whenever you use a capital bolded C it looks a lot like an O due to the font. Just a little thing I thought was worth pointing out. Overall, this game is really cool and well-made and polished. You did a great job creating this!
This game is so charming! There's a lot of attention to detail in here, from the particle effects that give the impression of a strong breeze, to the icons bobbing when you hover over them - they really make the game feel polished! I also love the unusual screen resolution you chose :) Thanks for making this!
