Build your island and try to survive on it.

Jam Version: To win, you have to reach 50 population. When food drops to zero, you lose!

New Post-Jam mode! While it’s still in its early stages, it does at least convey the core idea. I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback on it.

really cool game!

suggested feature: add rotating island cards

gg

pretty cool, are you currently up join game dev team as the main coder ?

I have a question that's kind of nitpicky.
Did the color of the sea use to be the same color as the background of the itch.io page? Some of the images have the itch.io background sea color, when some images have it as a more blue color, which is also what it is in the game.

Yeah, I can tell there's a difference. It seems like the tone shifted after the image compression, and now it doesn't quite match up.

An option for an "endless Jam mode" would also be very nice

It started falling apart after 100 people, so I capped it there. I didn't think it'd be enjoyable to clutter the screen with buildings without a good balance. 

I'm still figuring out where to take the gameplay and how to broaden it. Your feedback helps a lot.

Great game! It could really benefit from a card that can destroy a current building/resource on the map. Or an rare "Upgraded" version of the mine/lumberjack that works in 8 directions instead of 4

Thank you. Your suggestion seems reasonable.

Great game! Looking forward to seeing it develop. The post jam has a luck cap on it which is a shame, sometimes the islands don't generate enough rock for the game continue, should be a way around this!

Thank you for your feedback. The game does attempt to balance random drops, but eventually, you'll run out of resources. I'm considering ways to enhance it.

There's one bug with the post-jam, though it's overall very engaging: After you use your last card, the game ends - EVEN IF the use that card then puts another new card into your deck.

Thank you for reporting the issue. I made a fix, so it should work fine now.

Very cool ! I love management games ! the wheat fields <3 <3

Everything is so good! It is absolutely necessary to continue it, I will follow you ! <3 can’t wait to see what you do !

Too impressed by the proposed formula! (Me who loves Dice Kingdom)

Thank you. I have some ideas to implement. Will see how it goes.

wish i could screenshot my island when i win :( but i did beat it

Yes, I missed that point. In the new mode, I've taken into account the feedback regarding it. Thank You.

Very cute game. Fun to spend 30 minutes on. It would be nice to have an option to pay to regenerate your hand. Sometimes i was just stuck with cards i didn't need for a few turns. More building variety would also be good, especially if they have some downsides like the house does.

This is actually a great feature. Thank you for the suggestion. I'm thinking about expanding a new gameplay mode, so new buildings might be added in the future.

this is a lot of fun! i like trying to see how weirdly shaped i can make the island.
