Watched a play through of this game on YouTube and downloaded Steam to give it a chance, really glad I did. It can be pretty unforgiving for not being fast enough or not prioritising the right production facilities, but that's part of the fun. Really like the music - though don't be fooled by it being relaxing, the harder difficulties require full attention. The game is really pretty, haven't really noticed any bugs. I think an addition to the tutorial could be beneficial to explain some of the more advanced buildings and what they do, but it hasn't been too hard to figure it out through playing through a few times.

UI scale poorly, cannot use windows mode because ui elements is outside the screen A lot of graphical bugs in game Slow moving camera in a game where time is important Sometimes you cannot do anything for long periods of time thanks to how the game laws are designed Cannot place multiple buildings at once, need to go back to the buildings menu for every building Simply poor camera controls Poor introduction to the game, you lose without understanding what happened or why you couldn't do anything. Resolution keeps resetting back to 640x480 You get an indication that you can build but you can still not build because of some other factor that is shown with a small icon that you barely can see. When you break a law you just silently loose time. If I keep doing the same mistake as I try to learn the game, there is not enough feedback on how severe the mistake is. Should be a restart level button in the esc menu Several more bugs and annoyances discovered in just over 30 minutes o...

A game with a great potential. I enjoyed playing it, but there are unfixed bugs that ruin my save each time I play (ressources plummeting into negative without any reason, supposedly unlocked buildings that are locked again in later maps), because they make goals impossible to reach in the allocated time. Very limited tutorial. The graphics are pretty, and there is a good concept! The only things this game need are bug fixes, and someone who actually takes the time to reply to players (my discussion topic about negative ressources went unanswered, so did other topics!) Until then, I don't really see the purpose of playing this. It's a game I would have loved to love, but when you go game over every single time because it doesn't let you play the way you ought to, it becomes pointless and frustrating.

Nice minimalistic design in general, but lots of little issues. Like, when you selected a building from a menu and choosing a location, but then decided to not build - no cancel button. Rotating the camera reveals some graphics issues from different point of views. No easy way to see what you built where, many buildings look too similar. And in general, you'd not expect a quick pace time based strategy from a game like this - with a pretty calming graphics and music.
