Chub Town by aamatniekss

[raw]
made by aamatniekss for LD35 (JAM)
Was meant to join compo originally, but couldnt make it in time, and in the end didnt even manage to make everything I wanted for jam entry, too. But oh well, it's playable!

A game about building a town and pleasing gods. To win it's necessary to build the large statue to gods. But to do that, you will have to build a large town that can sustain itself, keep the gods happy, while stockpiling resources to build the large statue.
Please the gods by sacrificing unneeded resources to them using the small statue. Keep in mind, you do NOT want to get the gods angry. They will start shapeshifting your buildings into large chicken!

This is a wonderful game!
Graphics are cool, and the all this little workers is really fun.
Maybe it's not a big innovation but we don't see a lot of this type of game in LD.
Bravo.

Very nice game !

I loved played it !

The only negative aspect is that in the end the god got angry quite easily

Love the visual style, but the gameplay is a little bit too slow. The theme is also not very well implemented.

Quite enjoyable. Nice graphics and audio. The text could've been a little easier on the eyes though, my only problem.

Gods got angry at me, I build statue to the gods, gods send down giant chicken to destroy my statue, I can't appease the gods.

Absolutely love the idea of this game, wish there was more to do in it though.

My god is way too angry and way too much! :)

Nicely polished, neat graphics, definitely enjoyed playing it.

Fonts could be better as they're damn hard to read.

Loved this entry very much :) Would be cool if you could snap back the camera to the town center

Cute game! Perfect graphics. Not sure where the shapeshifting is though. Anyway, I always like to play this kind of games in LD, and this is a good entry overall :)

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

One of the most finished games I've played, even if there were still things you wanted to add.

Doesn't really feel in the theme, but man, this was cool!
Won the game, I really had fun playing it. The angry god bringing balance was nice and made the game just hard enough so you always had to keep an eye on him. Kudos!

Neat idea, even though I found that the gods get angry quite easily. They got so angry that they destroyed my statue. Great art and sound, even if the music got a bit repetitive. Nice work!

Really fun little game, really polished and lovely pixelart. It felt weird that some of the GUI would go over the God Anger bar and in general I think there could be improvements with the camera, I don't know how a zoom would work. But I'm just nitpicking, the game is really good.

addictive. I understood how to sacrifice ressources on third try only. beforethat I was just building thestatue expecting it to auto-refill my god jauge. I think the game coudlbe more tactical if god ask for only 2 ressources and swap their needs when you fulfil them.

That was a lot of fun :)
It was hard at first, but once I figured out the sacrifice mechanic and stabilized my resources, reaching the needed resources for the large statue was easy enough.
Would love to see more made out of the game concept!
