Thanks for your submission to js13k!\nI’m sure you’ve worked hard on your game, but I’m not aware of how much time you spent on it, so excuse me if things I mention were in your mind, but got left out in the rush of the month or just because you hit the 13kb limit :)</p>\n<ul>\n<li>My first impression and understanding (before playing the game):\n<ul>\n<li>This is going to be a clicker style game where I can put my buildings and watch as it goes.</li>\n<li>The roads on the screenshot reminds me of “Mini Motorways”, I wonder if those are going to take some crucial part on the game.</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>Great work on:\n<ul>\n<li>Putting together a complete game play with growing levels.</li>\n<li>Building a core loop where I put buildings, sell the produce and put more buildings, and so on.</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>I liked that you:\n<ul>\n<li>Created a small puzzle with the placement of the buildings. I need to plan a bit ahead to make enough space between the roads and know where I will have each building, and I can’t just start pilling up buildings in a corner.</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>You could improve (again, I’m aware you might already know all the below):\n<ul>\n<li>Apart from the obvious quality of life improvements in placement and buildings management, I think the next thing is giving better feedback to the state of my village.</li>\n<li>For example, I went through 3 restarts with trial and error to get my coins somehow incoming at the beginning of the game. I still don’t think I understand what is the relationship between the amount of houses and farms, but it seemed that adding a lot of houses was not that bad as having overflow of farms. Eventually I started placing the more expensive buildings and got to the windmill and paper, where I think I got that windmills do paper after the research and then I felt I could reproduce this effect by adding more windmills.</li>\n<li>I don’t think I know what half of the buildings were doing in my map. I could just feel that a building was about production of a sort or happiness.</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p>I took some screenshots <a href=\"https://twitter.com/javascripl/status/1708978524218868129\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https://twitter.com/javascripl/status/1708978524218868129</a></p>\n"},{"typ":2,"at":348793426,"author":"Taufik Sani","login":"tictacx-gm","gh":106235867,"url":"https://linkedin.com/in/taufiksani","twitter":"gorilatictacx","text":"<p>13kb SimCity, but in the 13th century.
