Hello

Thank you for your input. Although the game may not be visually stunning, I still enjoy playing games like this as if they were AAA titles. I personally struggle with creating appealing visuals, but I hope that the gameplay itself can still provide an enjoyable experience.

I see where you were heading with the game, so keep it up. :)

It is a nice concept, but it was a bit difficult for me to understand how to play, also I think the tutorial doesn't work.

Cool to see an RTS on LD, its a really hard style of game to make in such a short period.

I had a few issues with the web build the UI overlapped a lot and seemed like it wasn't designed for the viewing area. I thought going to full screen might fix it, but no luck.

Something I've used in the past to make web builds render properly is https://seansleblanc.itch.io/better-minimal-webgl-template you may want to check it out

Nice idea and expandable.
I'm not a historian, but combining history with a game is always a good idea. :thumbsup:

Good project with an interesting historical background - die Berliner Luftbrücke. The main mechanics work well as expected - smoothly and clever. I guess that with more time you could do something better - with a clean aesthetic and some sounds. However it is good enough for a first release. Thank you for sharing source code as a Jam entry. It is cool for the community. I wish you the best ++

Interesting game. I like the historical context, though the Soviets never interfered with the airlift directly so not sure what the Yaks are doing :shrug:. The graphics are simple but very clear. For the tutorial screen, set the Canvas scaling to "Scales with screen size", so the text fits on the screen. Also, I wouldn't call a tutorial, more a set of instructions -- tutorial implies something a bit more interactive. Good work.

Nice game. I don't quite understand winning condition. What exactly means "enough supplies"? Also it's not clear what I'm supposed to do after all plains are used
