The aesthetics are cute and colorful, the dialogue is charming, and the gameplay is fairly simple to understand.\n\nI was confused as to what the lights were communicating to me. In most cases I chose to harvest a planet that provided the most green lights. From what was mentioned in the chat during my playthrough, that assumption was incorrect. Still did not fully understand what I was looking for otherwise. If there is more to the pattern of the lights, there should absolutely be some kind of resource to teach me that. I do not fault jam games for not including tutorials, but something to explain any of it, even in the page description is better than none. I do think it speaks more to the design of this system and what visual language you are using to telegraph that.\n\nAlso, I earned enough credits to afford the house model on the desk, but there was nothing to do to redeem those credits and make that transaction happen. I feel cheated. All I want is for Glarble to be happy. \ud83d\ude2d","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld59\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[],"metadata":{"g_key":"73557","g_author":"1429566","g_event":"LD59","g_eventkey":"113","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"311414","g_title":"Glarble's Journey to Home-Ownership","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"8","g_site2_node_id":"430187","g_hide":"Y","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"430187","n_urlkey":"311414","n_parent":"424249","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/59\/glarbles-journey-to-home-ownership","n_slug":"glarbles-journey-to-home-ownersh","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"429566","n_created":"1776676313","n_modified":"1779617277","n_version":"1361465","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML via existing importer","event":"LD59","removed_author":false},"_superparent":9,"_trust":1,"author":429566,"body":"In this point-and-click puzzle game play as Glarble as he finishes the last fourteen days of his contract. \nNavigate through the trials of Glarble not knowing how to do his job, despite being close to retirement.\nWill Glarble finish his contract and buy his dream home?
