The Final Earth by Florian van Strien
It's 2100 and Earth has been made uninhabitable by devastating climate change. As a great scientist, you have prepared, of course. Over the last fifty years, you built a teleporter and transported yourself and some materials across the galaxy to the only habitable planet you could find. Unfortunately, it's pretty small. Can you build a new society on this planet?
This is a city/planet builder/simulator game. As your world is so small, you can also build buildings on top of each other. There's some resource management, as you're going to need stone and wood to build and food to eat.
The game is available for Windows and HTML5. Please try the Windows version if the HTML5 version doesn't seem to work right.

Bugfix / Porting log
After the jam, I found out that the mouse cursor didn't work correctly in full screen on any screen resolution not dividable by 300 (most of them :/). There was a minor bug where the game would crash if you'd click on buildings in the main menu. Finally, during voting, someone found a bug where you would still gain population while the game was paused. As allowed by the rules, I fixed these bugs. If you'd like to check the game without these fixes, that's still possible.
The HTML5 port has been made after the jam. I also made a bugfix to this port later, as there was a bug where windows and tooltips wouldn't display properly on some computers/gpus.

I would love to play this if it got developed further!
(and saved the human race in less than a month, pfft)
Great game. The strategy here is well thought out and executed very well. There is even a tutorial to get started which makes the game completely understandable.
My favourite so far.
There is not much else to say: it's a very solid entry, which nailed the theme and falls into the game category I love to play. The tutorial is very well built into the game, and the player never feels lost. However, the game feels a bit too easy. If you want to expand it, maybe add more levels (another "planets" to colonize), building on difficulty.
Now the graphics, maybe not as "advanced" (Is high fidelity what I'm thinking of?) as alot of other entries but it has some real charm and fits the game really well. If I have to think of something I was missing I'd really like to scroll around and maybe zoom in on parts of the city - I realize thats hard to get to within timelimit.
The difficulty level was on the easy side also, some more challenge would have been nice - maybe some random events that could halter your progress or something- Overall very good entry!
Very polished, everything is well balanced, lots of details, only thing that is kind of missing is some sounds.
I like how much is going on when those people go around, do their jobs and more.
I did it! And had fun doing it, good job! I will say this, once I got to the point were I had to much food the game was much easier. You could through in a hazard like a plague that effects food that you need the lab to fix would be cool.
