I managed to get to 38. It takes a lot of trial and error. Edit: I have the happiest town <3 In the end I played more than 10 rounds to get there. More depth to this than I thought at first. It was satisfying to reach the successful town. Maybe adding \"give it another go?\" style button if the player doesn't win, that way more people would notice it. In the end, finding this goal and trying to reach it gave the gameplay a lot more meaning. The balance was good and not too obvious. It is actually pretty well balanced but I was just approaching it hastily. I hope other raters also take the time to appreciate it.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1000090,"author_name":"Alexey Akulovich","author_uid":"alexey-akulovich","epoch":1696361507,"text":"![Untitled.png](\/\/\/raw\/8ff\/81\/z\/5f614.png)\n\nIt looks too easy :-) Screenshot was made in one step from win.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1002445,"author_name":"SilverHammerMax","author_uid":"silverhammermax","epoch":1696382952,"text":"It's a very easy game.
