Micro Mayor by pizzapranks

You are the newly assigned mayor of a small section of city. Your predecessor left behind nothing but rubble and empty promises. It's your job to bring life back to your little mirco-city and finish the big project that was left behind. Don't forget your office's generous open door policy and motivated citizens.
A short one screen city builder. Played with mouse.

NOTE: The citizen requests that come up later were thrown in last minute on a whim and might not work/break everything??? They are non essential to complete the game though.

The interface is a little glitchy — it took me a moment to find the menu, the "sell" and "on/off" buttons didn't go away after closing a window, and every "w" printed as a "u" for some reason.
But this does feel like a small world, short as it is, and I enjoyed playing it. I think the music made a huge difference; I'm not musically inclined enough to explain why, but it's tremendously appropriate and I like it a lot.
But I did finish that project. :D
The narrator was definitely my favorite part, I liked the comments when I built a fire station before I was "supposed" to. The graphics were very simple, but they worked pretty well. The dark color pallet complemented the mood of the game nicely. The music was also very good, it added a somber feel to the game.
Unfortunately a lot of bugs and glitches, but nothing which can't be fixed.
Also a bit too easy and a bit to less content.
But in total a great job for a Jam, Keep developing :)
I also had a hard time find were to click to select buildings to build.
I sooooo love the old school graphics though !
Good job !
