Whatever this game is intended to do, it looks cool. It didn't seem like right clicking anywhere did anything. I just moved around and watched the zeppelins spread and take over things for a while. Sort of an interactive screensaver. What is supposed to happen when you right click on one of the islands?

I really liked the cartoonish look but I had a had time figuring out what I'm supposed to do. Took me a couple of restarts xD After that I grew quite fond of the simplistic mechanics. Also I think the sound effects are a bit too loud.
Great entry anyways ;)

I didn't really understand what was going on while playing. Perhaps an interactive or in-game tutorial would really help, because I just wasn't understanding. Also, your instructions written on the page don't see to be accurate, as right click did nothing for me.

I like the genre and general idea, but you should have gone for worse graphics and a bit more depth. I know better than anyone that you can't expect an LD game to be perfect, but an AI that's a real threat would have been great.

Thank you all for your feedback. I added a instruction in the description. I hope this helps.
@JaytleBee We had only 5 hours. I do not have time to do AI.
@blurryroots Thanks for taking the time to understand.

Cute little game! For anyone confused about controls, left mouse button is to buy buildings, not right.

Cute! Much easier than many of the other strategy game entries ;) . I had a difficult time pushing the buttons above the islands sometimes, though. Like, the button would highlight, but not play a sound.

I really like the music. The game could be interesting, but currently with two buttons it feels like there are too little options. Also sometimes the buttons just will not react.

@gebirgsbaerbel I fixed button in Post-Jam version. It is already on itch.io.

It took me a while to understand what was going on, but when I got it, it was actually pretty fun. Good job!

Nice idea, it'd be cool to see it taken further with a larger variety of upgrades and such.
