Tiny Kingdom by spider__the second

[raw]
made by spider__the second for Ludum Dare 54 (JAM)

Build a Tiny Kingdom. Try not to starve or run out of materials! Be Decisive as if you are too slow your citizens will place the buildings for you.

Use The Itch.io link for a bigger version of the game.

Place 3 buildings of the same kind in a row to merge them into an upgraded building.

Building require Materials to place and upkeep, run out and they will slowly demolish.

People require food to live and multiply, the more food and houses the more people.

The itch.io link isn't working for me - is it public?

I struggled to figure out how the game works. I placed stuff where ever I could. Not sure if its about proximity or stacking or speed.

I was able to play. Looks like it hit the theme. Will check it again tomorrow once I slept a bit.

It's great, I find the timer a little bit too fast, but it's really nice !

I like the and design and UI, and it seems like it could be a nice game, although I'm not entirely sure what I'm meant to be doing 🙈

Good idea, a really pleasant game ! The timer is a bit to fast for me

Interesting game. I liked the concept, but I think that it's a bit chaotic. The game doesn't give you enough time to strategize and instead forces you to just place tiles that would stack without much further thinking. Anyway, I enjoyed your game!

I found the timer a little to quick for me to figure out the best place to put a tile down so I don't think I did very well. However I think with a little more time to place I could play this game for hours.

Very cool! I got a score of 2755 on my first attempt. What did you get Mr Spider the 2nd!

A little lost as to what each tile is. Super cozy music though! Looks like a fun concept, but the timer does seem a little fast.

A bit tough to graps what I was actually doing but I think with some polishing this could definitely be great! Good job on making this!

The rules are really interesting, but the timing is too fast for me.
I hope there could be an update with a simpler or unlimited time mode.
Overall, the concept is really cool and I really like it.

Nice idea of combining many things both literally. Too bad the timing is too fast for me to understand what tiles I'm holding currently and where to place it best.
I might do better next time.

Pretty interesting things going on - it took me a while to figure out how to work the pacing and I wasn't always sure where things would go, but overall great job!

I honestly didn't understand how it works, of course with a lot of time invested I could try to find out, but I think everything should be better arranged in a way that is intuitive or close to it.

interesting mecanics however a bit to complexe and we don't have enought time to analyse the situation. Maybe some UI improvement to show the player the different optimisation.
I also think that the optimisation puzzle is enought you don't need the computer to put stuff for you.

Good entry.

Very well done! Took some time for me to get into it but it was fun! Well scoped!

Really cool idea, not sure if the aggressive timer is necessary though, it's a pretty interesting puzzle to solve but I don't have enough time to really make good decisions.

Great work!

I'd say this is a pretty cool idea that adheres to the theme quite well, but as many others have suggested, the timer is way too aggressive; there's way too little time to think.
