It contains good elements such as resources gathering and interconnections with supporting functionalities such as game pause, save/load, or ‘cheat’ for fast-forward. Simple graphics but well-thought game design.</p>\n<p>The game has quite high learning curves since there are good complex mechanics. Maybe a tutorial, or start the game with a smaller level and introduce the concept slowly/gradually could help. Once you get it, it’s hard to stop playing :-)</p>\n"},{"typ":2,"at":254324498,"author":"Lee Reilly","login":"leereilly","gh":121322,"url":"https://leereilly.net","twitter":"leereilly","text":"<p>Nice idea.
