interesting for sure, but it feels too hollow especially for a CDN$32.99 price tag. the gameplay loop just seems too repetitive to actually be enjoyable - jump from building to building, rng and collect different resources, then go back home and make new stuff. maybe the late game is better but with how tedious the start was (i found myself just sitting on max speed waiting for my workers to gather resources for constructions) i really didnt have any interest in grinding it out.

generally i find these types of games to be fun but in this case there was nothing that really felt unique about different locations. buildings look super janky - especially rooftops, and it's very jarring for a top-down game. my local mall, for example, had approximately 50 water towers on top of it. why? i understand its just visual but the point is there's a lack of attention to detail and polish that detracts from the experience.

tl;dr the concept is solid but the execution is pretty poor. repetitive and boring gameplay loop + strange procedural generation has killed my interest in playing this game any further
