I agree with others that it's a little confusing at first, even when following the written guide (I'm still not sure what's causing the counsel to role up and pull me from being Mayor). Think it could benefit from a clearer U.I., as it's not super obvious at first what's clickable and what isn't, and what certain buttons and actions do. But, when it _is_ figured out, I find it to be a pretty fun and addicting little game! Great job overall.\n\np.s.

I love its simplicity in its design & fundamentals. At first, I felt a bit confused with where to place the goods I was receiving, but that was easy to pick up after playing it shortly. Also, maybe having a deeper written guide & helpful popup tips as you play could be beneficial to help bring new players up to speed. \n\nOn another note, I can see money management being a big aspect as you get deeper into your towns lifespan. With this in mind, I think being able to purchase Tier I goods (& future goods) in bulk, based on the total amount of money you have accumulated, would be a good quality of life feature for players. It could be helpful instead of having to individually purchase goods for a larger city with much higher demand.\n\nOverall, this is a very fun & unique game. I really enjoyed playing it. :)","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":862092,"author_name":"Austin","author_uid":"austin","epoch":1664924054,"text":"Thanks for your feed back!
