TLDR - Dev added mouse support! I don't have much time in the game yet but wanted to write this quick 'review' specifically about the dev and their willingness to listen to, and act on community feedback. I, and others, was disappointed to find that the demo had no mouse support, generally a deal breaker for me personally as I don't have a controller or like using keyboard only controls. While I could already tell that I would enjoy the game, the lack of mouse controls put me off, however I did leave a comment along side others asking the dev to consider adding mouse support. Barely a few days later the dev has added mouse support, obviously working hard to implement it so quickly. So regardless of how much I enjoy this game or not in the long term, that alone has earned a purchase from me as far too many steam games don't have, and never get, mouse support despite it being important for accessibility reasons of all kinds. Bravo to the dev, I hope this game does really well for you!

TL;DR: This game is absolutely fantastic - I don’t usually gravitate towards city builders but this is so engaging and relaxing (without being too easy), I highly recommend giving it a go, regardless of your genre preferences. I’m obsessed. A truly engrossing, unique, highly replayable roguelite city builder and resource management game that I simply cannot stop playing. The steam achievements are tied to challenges that give you in-game rewards, so you're incentivised to tackle these and rewarded for doing so. It's deep without being overwhelming, and the story mode introduces all of the mechanics at a very nice pace whilst also providing a lot of fun whilst going through each of the levels and going for the optional achievements. It's super relaxing, but provides a real challenge if you're looking for it and want to take on the more difficult challenges, with satisfying sound design, animations and pixel art. I can see myself playing this one for many many more hours; I've only finished the normal difficulty story mode and a few optional achievements in about 8 hours taking it slowly, and I've barely scratched the surface of what this game has to offer. I can't recommend this one enough, huge props to Darenn for solo-developing this gem (in Godot!) Pros: - Highly replayable - A lot of gameplay depth but not overwhelming - Satisfying sound design - Beautiful chunky pixel art and fluid animations - Loads of achievements and challenges that give you in-game rewards - Cute and wholesome dialogue, with some surprise references - Super relaxing, but provides a real challenge if you want it - Lots of things to discover; mechanics are explained but plenty is left to discover on your own - So much (very fun) content for price Cons: - A few minor bugs (which I'm sure will get patched soon) - Mini-games can get a little repetitive after playing for several hours straight, maybe some extra mini-games would help to keep each run fresh Things to note: - I've only played with controller, as recommended, which I use for most games, and it works very nicely. It doesn't have mouse support at present though (only controller and keyboard) so worth noting if you were expecting to use your mouse. Edit: One day later, and the dev updates the game to add mouse support. Amazing! - It's made by one person, please don't forget that when creating forum posts; the dev seems very committed to this game, and I'm sure bug fixes will come in time, but please keep this in mind - this game is an astounding achievement for a single developer.

This is the kind of game you buy impulsively because it's cheap and looks fun, and then you realize you've spent your entire day off, evening and night playing it. The game is very well made, from the art to the mechanics and UI. It has this addicting "one more day, one more mission" feel that makes you play for hours, and still think about the game for hours afterwards. If you like puzzle games and city builders, this is a perfect hybrid, and I can't recommend it enough.

I legit got an ad for this game on Tumblr and decided to check it out lmao. So to whoever it was that had to explain destiel to their boss, congrats! It's a pretty fun game! Edit: I do however have to acknowledge that it was an improper use of the Tumblr Emergency Broadcasting System, and that the authorities should be speaking with you soon. Cheers!
