this is very fun! the organic placement mechanics make for really fun structures. i enjoyed always being able to build in a different direction whenever i got stuck, i think the fact that there is no undo button works well towards the permanence of architecture. great game! good work to everyone who did the art and sound as well!
Managed to crash the game! You can buid under the water line using the overhang structure and a building on top of it.
Nice find! I knew that was possible but I didn't think it would result in a crash. I'll investigate when I have time later
Really nice and cozy, liked it
Give me the ability to save my game, *maybe* add a few more buildings variants (so that when you place three Farms next to each other for example they don't look all the same), and I'm a happy man.
I think our post jam build will make you a happy man ;)
Saving is on my radar and should be "easy" (we'll see!). Building variation is definitely where the time constraint finally caught up to us.
Even with the current version it's REALLY good and I hope you at least finish top 100 because it is a quite nice result, but yeah, I'm officially waiting for the post-jam build now x)
