Slightly 2 Overbuilt by JammedGame
Small area city management game. Build buildings and collect resources.
Your goal is to build the rocket in order to get off the planet.
Different buildings give different resources. Each building produces exactly 1 resource point of 1 resource type. You cannot have more than 1 resource point of any one type at any given time, so plan strategically. Certain buildings have roof parts that block building of anything above them.
Conserve space. Build smart.
To the stars!

Was a bit confusing getting started but after the first few buildings it all made sense.
Great work!
For me, only the main menu has music/sound... is this intentional? I think you could've extended this music over the main gameplay easily as well without any harm.
Please do include some more explanation, or at least make the little icons stand out some more, even (especially?) when they're greyed out... or instead, just make the 'tier 1' buildings that you can build in the beginning without requiring any of the others light up. (Maybe that was the intention? They didn't for me, which made it very puzzling when I couldn't build the others ... until I discovered they had little grey icons on then, and the others didn't).
I also wonder about the replayability... I was in a rush to get this rated before time and haven't checked thoroughly, but I think the building-blocks stay the same shape each time? Not sure how to overcome this, but if you do; well, you've got a solid 'basis' (this result) for building your 'rocket' (any hypothetical post-jam version) on!
Also: nice relaxing pastel colours! :-)
What makes this game great is that the player is actually thinking about his actions and having a lot of fun in the process. It is also perfectly balanced. The first time I reached the rocket but didn't managed to place it. Second time I thought about building placement and managed to place the rocket.
Overall: :star: :star: :star: :star:
