This really did feel like a full game. I loved the art for it. I did have a little bit of difficulty placing the work center in the tutorial it wanted it in a very specific spot and the marker was almost the same color as the sand, when I tried to place it anywhere else it wouldn't let me. Other than that little hiccup it was great. I loved the little skipping animation of the workers.

Thank you so much! 😄 I'm really glad you enjoyed the game, especially the art and the little worker animations!
And you're absolutely right about the tutorial! The hand indicating where to place the work center can blend into the terrain in certain biomes, especially sandy ones. I'll definitely take that into account. I'm also planning to allow players to freely choose where to place their work center in the next version, rather than forcing a specific spot.
There was very little time to develop so much content for the jam, so quite a few things still need some refinement. I'm actually working on a major update for after the jam, including a massive rewrite of the game engine. The goal is to turn something that was put together in a rush for a game jam into a much more polished and complete gaming experience.
Thanks again for playing and for taking the time to share such useful feedback! It really helps me improve the game! 😊
