See what I found guys! A simulating game! It seems that I'm playing a mayor who provides people what they need, or they'll overthrow me. What an unstable government!
In the game, building city with random cards is funny, and the supplying system reminds me of Civilization and Simcity. However, I don't know the certain probability in program, the lacking of energy is a serious problem as the game progresses, for it's so hard to draw a energy plant card. And I think there's better a list to tell me how many resources I have.
However, I think it's a great game which has great potential.

nice assets and an interesting idea. I found it a little confusing trying to make out what is currently needed and how to find the right balance

Cool game!I spent many time on it!

Maybe you can add some shortcut key to help people pick card quicky.And it will be great if i can remove the building that i didnt need anymore.

Followed you and waiting for your new games~

Very Cool graphics, a tutorial would have been helpfull. It took a while to understand the mechanics without one. But it plays well once you understood them.

Unfortunately, I have a larger monitor, and cant see the UI in-game. Menu itself is fine. No idea, why unity is no longer showing resolutions dialog at the start like it used too :(

Really neat simplified abstraction of a city builder! The randomized cards were fun but in the end I found myself picking and recycling cards so I could spam road pieces :D maybe it could have a bit more penalty if done often? Also visually very pleasing to play, great work!

The mood of the game was great, the graphics beautiful and the administration of resources interesting. The game was very good.

Loved the usage of a same abstract ressource for everything. But would've like to see more depth and new things the more I expand. The pace of the game is real nice, and you get anxious about your city very fast. The graphics are nicely done. Well played !

Kinda surprised to see a tycoon here but it fits the theme neatly. Gameplay and visuals are so solid, huge work put here I guess. Great entry!

Really cool presentation, seems like a very ambitious game for a jam! I do feel like I spent too much time sitting around waiting for resources to accrue in order to do something, but it felt fairly well-balanced and it was easy to figure out what was going on without a tutorial. Solid stuff!

Cool game! Very ambitious and I like the idea of using cards. The art and music are very good and create a great vibe. My only suggestion is to make roads a permanently available card, because right now it is too hard to connect the city. Overall, I love the way the pieces interact and I think the game is a very strong entry. Great job!

The music and the visual style really work well together here. I was going to say I'd found an area that you couldn't click on because the cards were in the way - but then I found out you could hold down the middle mouse button to pan the camera around, so it's actually fine :)

And the gameplay is really fun too! There's a tricky balancing act going on here about keeping things close together vs not keeping things so close together that the pollution makes everyone revolt. Good game!
