Very fast paced and difficult. Overall a challenging and fun game that has a lot of potential!

I liked it. Would have been nice if there was a small tutorial level, because it's hard to get into but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty fun to play. One small thing to add would be a music track, but overall very good job!

Oh WOW! Hard to master. 2:20 minutes is my best score. Not bad i think.

The build feels good and the fast-paced decision making is a challenge.

Really fun game! I just suck at it lol, I couldn't get past 4 minutes. Reminds me a lot of the mini metro / motorways games, both of which I really enjoyed. I spent about 15 mintues on this just raging at myself haha. I also absolutely love the amount of visual polish this has, really well done. This is a great game as it is right now, you should be super proud!

Its addicting but 3 minutes seem to be the best I can do :slight_smile: The little cars driving around is a nice detail

It was a really fun take on the theme, a bit fast-passed but over all a really polished and well put together game. It really felt like a complete game. I would like to have more ways of slowing it down but I get that it would go a bit against the theme of the jam but I just want to look a bit at the nice town a made. Over all a really fun time and a new fun take on city management!

Wow, that had me playing for a way longer than I expect. Congratulations, the game is addictive. The art and mechanics remind me to the Theme Park/Hospital series in a good way. I can see me playing this for real.

A great game, if it is a little refined and ported to mobile devices, then you can safely release in the play market. Very laconic graphics, good sound design, interesting mechanics that does not let you get bored. The only thing that might discourage a potential player is the difficulty. At times it is not clear where buildings appear and which ones you have already connected to the road network, as well as not always seeing where a building has an entrance. It is also unclear what principle is used to calculate the result. If you add appearance and connectivity indicators and a little VFX, you get a competitive project

Cool game, tycoon, building games are always fun. And difficult to get done in a few days! Well done!

I played this a bucketload of times and only made it to just past 3 minutes.

It took me far too long to figure out how to rotate pieces - I kept trying to use r. x.x

The graphics were great, the sounds were *so* rewarding and the music kept me in the zone.

Due to the fast pace, the popups were completely ignored by me, I just didn't have the time to look over to the corner and read sentences so I was missing feedback, I think.

I loved the game though and really really really want to see it with maybe not the 10 second pressure.
Having this as a game where I can pause to build as I like between popups instead of being forced into that ten seconds grind would be, heavenly.

Thank you so much, I'm going to be daydreaming of this in chill mode all day now. xD

Can't see clearly am I doing right decision or wrong, so game over screen is very unexpected :(

Also game is laggy on my m1 mac

Though concept is fine and fits in theme

I once developed a game with hex tiles, it was fun doing all the permutations of the diagonals passing from the center! So i hope you had fun too. Very fun and addicting game, love the graphics

Had a blast playing! Played on m1 Mac, game seemed to work just fine. Got to 3:33 with 98 tiles. Game looks very polished, and unlike many other games, the 10s interval seems to work well for the pacing here!

Really slick presentation and cool concept! Definitelly the kind of game which i'd love see expanded into a full release, very compelling.

I like the focus of having to make quick decisions about the placements. I didn't have time to read all the popups due to the time pressure, maybe this could be improved somehow. The graphics look great and sound effects are satisfying, great job with the game!

Cool game, feel a bit like the board game Carcassonne in the way the roads are built :)

Really fun! had some real mini-motorways vibes to it. I have played this game a little to much, have to get to rating other games as well. Great stuff a lovely entry!

Good job!
It was easy to understand, I felt like I got further every time I played. It was challenging for the right reasons, nothing felt unfair, every time I failed it was my own damn fault. The music matched the graphics nicely, but it didn't match my heartbeat:)
The only thing I felt was not on point was that while playing I did not have time to look at your barking system. So while there was humor in the game I was unable to enjoy it, I simply had more urgent things to do.
My best time ended up being 5:13!

So satisfying to start building out a city with connecting roads, I almost want a peaceful mode or the pace to be a little slower. Clean visuals and great sound effects, this is a solid entry.

Very well made! The theme was very noticeable haha, got a bit stressful at times but it was a fun challenge. I wish I could have had more time to read all the pop-ups, was too focused on building.
It felt very polished and neat :)

Fun game. It is hard and stressfull. That make it really addictive.

It is just hard to understand what to do at first. Cause it is impossible to read the notifications at the top left and so to know what to do. In my first games I also didn't notice the notation progress bar on the bottom left. So I didn't know why I've lost.

But once you know how to play the game is lot a more enjoyable. Good job !

I love your game. It is very simple to learn, but very hard to master. As it should! The graphics are outstanding and the soundeffects are relaxing and enjoyable.

Well done! This game feels very polished.


Only feedback i've got:
- The R key should reset the level durning gameplay too

Pretty fun! I enjoyed the audio a lot, the song was repetitive, but never felt like it. Fun little gameplay loop. I wish there was a little more to do, but I did like it. nice job.

I really liked your art! I liked how there were little stop signs and things on the buildings. As far as gameplay goes, I was having a hard time figuring out exactly how to play it. But I started to get the hang of it. Good job overall!

I LOVE this one for real! It was pretty fun and chaotic to try build roads as fast as possible. The only problem I had is with predictability & the way how tile remove is coming. First I really though it's a bug and game was broken. Aside of that - an awesome entry, guys!
