I liked the western theme to the game.
I did find the big house to be somewhat irrelevant since it cost you more than adding a whole new house to gain less than you would get for adding a whole new house.

I really liked this game! For a LDJam is a great and enjoyable game! I didnt see anything new in this type of game, but i think you guys did it to test your skills/knowledge too. And I think the result was amazing! I wanted with all my strenght that i could automatically sent people to available jobs (well, working on a farm is very dangerous). Beside that, the game works nicely. Great job!

I really enjoyed the art style, and appreciate the amount of work it took to put together a building sim in such a short time! Good work!

That was pretty fun to build that small town. The whole may be a bit static, and you can pretty much do the whole thing without moving the camera... I dunno if this needs fixing, but that's what I thought!
Not sure if I did something wrong, but I couldn't build the Town Hall, although it seemed I had enough resources:

very nice game with a nice mood and music :) As a personal preference I would have liked the camera to be movable via mouse too, maybe with the right mouse button, and maybe the limit on the time acceleration could have a little bit higher, sometimes waiting for resources took a little bit too long.

The art is really good and it's very nice to be able to build your city. I think it's an ambitious project for such a short time but you did it very well! Good job.

Nice game, I got a bit stuck at first because I didn't realize i needed to add workers, but once I got the hang of it, it was great :thumbsup:

It was an enjoyable experience! The only thing I would add is some other happiness-producing building (a tavern or some such) as it felt a bit strange to keep building houses nobody was living in just to make people happy :wink:

@fabula-rasa yeah that was the plan at first (specifically, a saloon) but I didn't have the time x).

Great art style, it's simple but super clear that it's a western! Maybe add a tutorial in the beginning to help out the player as it is easy to get a bit stuck.
