I really liked your concept and the aesthetics- even without sound there was a good atmosphere to the game, and while I am a bit sad I couldn't do much it was intriguing nonetheless! \n\nI totally understand how hard it is to make your ideas come together when under strict limitations- Good work! you should be proud of your first entry!

No idea how.  \nIt really needed tooltips or something to tell what each building was, and what they did. The help panel wasn't enough to figure out what was what.  \nThe lights were helpful to show you put a colonist in the right place.    \nThe separate farm and buildings screen was just confusing since the people are displayed in both. I ended up remembering where the farms were located in the building screen and placing them in that rather than switching so I wouldn't accidentally take someone off another utility by mistake.
