But well, it's a pretty simple puzzle. I wonder why you made a walkthrough for it ^^ I think the main problem is that you spend your time waiting, like in a RTS...but it's definitely not a RTS and you got nothing else to do. I think you could focus on the puzzle idea, but instead of waiting, it would be &quot;spend Xfood, Xiron to build a farm, gain Xfood&quot; it would be like a mathematical puzzle. With more features, it could be fun."},{"author_name":"mohammad","author_uid":"14064","time":"Sep 8, 2012 @ 5:31pm","epoch":1347125160,"text":"Didn't know what to do or how to build until I got it and it became fun!"},{"author_name":"matheod","author_uid":"4423","time":"Sep 9, 2012 @ 4:49pm","epoch":1347209040,"text":"Nice job in 10h but so few thing to do at final :-("},{"author_name":"kibertoad","author_uid":"7122","time":"Sep 12, 2012 @ 6:33pm","epoch":1347474480,"text":"Liked the direction this game took, bloody shame it didn't have its potential fully realized."},{"author_name":"Puzzlem00n","author_uid":"11003","time":"Sep 16, 2012 @ 5:56pm","epoch":1347817860,"text":"For ten hours, I guess it's pretty decent."}],"images":["ld24\/2494-5eebb2966e0b29cf4778cddf5c1ddb0a.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/16947539\/Rise%20of%20a%20Colony%20-%20LD%20%2324%20-%20Folis.zip","text":"Windows (Source is here)"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.blechi.at\/rise-of-a-colony\/48h\/","text":"Web"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.blechi.at\/blog\/","text":"Post-Compo"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"29203","g_author":"2494","g_event":"LD24","g_eventkey":"12","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"29233","g_title":"Rise of a Colony","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"632","g_commentcount":"27","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/2494-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Also: This game was created in less than 10 hours, due to real life coming in the way.
