The art and music mesh nicely into a pleasant experience.  I would say the one downside is that it how far you can go feels very arbitrary: if you get a city in the middle of a forest, it's expensive to connect it, no matter what you do.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"sawtan","author_uid":"1002068","time":"2017-05-01T18:03:25Z","epoch":1493661805,"modified":1493661805,"text":"Really great simple game, good mechanics and nice atmosphere!

Feels complete and polished. Level difficulty also progresses nicely.  The game mechanic is a little counterintuitive, but no less fun once you figure it out (I got to level 20 once I did).\n\nIn particular I found the city revenue rule counterintuitive.  What I figured out is that each pair of cities that is connected yields a small fraction of a coin. Then, the total revenue is rounded to an integer.  Each city you connect adds up to all the already connected cities, so revenue grows nonlinearly. Adjacent cities are already connected (it's helpful to mention this in the manual).  The trick to winning is to get a revenue above 1, then watch your reserves grow as you lay cheap roads and stay in the level as long as possible.\n","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Yami no tenshi 8","author_uid":"1012396","time":"2017-05-11T10:42:23Z","epoch":1494499343,"modified":1494499343,"text":"Interesting concept and nice graphics, but I didn't really understand the coins calculation, it was not clear enough for me when I was winning money by constructing roads and when I was losing some...

The tile sliding effect at the beginning of the levels is particularly good. I also like the idea of the game, but even after reading the instructions, it's difficult to tell what's causing income and expenses. In most cases, it seemed like I was better off making a road to nowhere anytime I was profitable rather than finishing a level. That seems relatively simple to fix, and other than that I think this is a really promising puzzle game.
