The Kingdom Of Land

Definitely didn't exploit that bug regarding enclosed level 9 lakes... nope, not at all 👀

This game rules.

Found this game very enjoyable. I ended up finishing all the levels. Really enjoyed how some simple rules can lead to such an immersive game.

While the gameplay loop is really similar to a clicker game (upgrade, get next upgrade.... get the material from that and get another upgrade...) I felt the objectives and levels made something more focused with a lot more interesting potential. Like clicker games, there isn't a ton of punishment except for time. Being inefficient doesn't result in a loss but more of idle time. While I didn't mind the pacing, I feel it'd be interesting to see how speed of ocean draining could effect the gameplay in other ways other too. I could not see how the draining time added to anything aside from the same 'wait for resource' mechanic present in the other tiles. Because the ocean does not take that much time to drain, gameplay wise I'm not sure what it adds. BUT then again, it was so ridiculously satisfying for me to watch an ocean drain that I know I prefer waiting just to see those numbers go down even if it is more inefficient than an instant drain. Maybe that satisfaction is the same reward you feel when you see your resources go up in a clicker game. Except in this case it is counting down!

It'd be cool to see it tie into something else in addition to the short "idle time" you get viewing it drain. (particularly a really large body of water ). I wasn't sure if having more windmills working the same body sped it up.

Other things you did well was on the sound design. I like how the sound changes when you click. As you have to click a lot, the variance worked in making it not annoying. Very chill vibe! Overall found it very enjoyable with so many ways to expand. Sorry if I'm rambling a bit, getting late!

Great concept and well executed little puzzle game. Loved the simplicity in the design and sound, very relaxing! Well done!

Lovely game, both in concept and aesthetics, but it's sooooooo slow. Actually I'm kinda mad that you didn't put the fact that resources give more if they're full in your game description despite being aware that it should have been in the tutorial :(

Overall I still feel like there's a balance issue, this is the state of my game towards the end, and it still took a few minutes to complete, even while spending all tulips I had to make more quarries. Of course I also didn't know about the full resource thing.

I also feel like the game should allow us to destroy buildings / build anything on forests. I kinda got stuck at first because the game didn't let me build many fields around my windmills, and I had already built a few quarries in spaces that could have been fields earlier.

I think the tutorial level is too small to be really challenging, and the "real" level is so big that you can end up making mistakes that will slow down your whole game, because you didn't really understood every concept right away.

Anyways, I still enjoyed it a lot, and I even finished the ending screen, which was relatively fast with all those resources :D

Oh and I also noticed I could collect resources by clinking once and then dragging my mouse around, which led me to wait for full resources even less 😅

I liked how soothing and relaxing game was, few sound effects could have been changed as they jumped out from rest. Here is gameplay: https://youtu.be/-tcce30kmHI?t=336

Great meditative game. However completing one level took far too long and there wasn't enough strategy to get me coming back for more.

It's a good game but probably too complicated for a game jam game. For me It's a lot to take in all at once

Super cool concept, I'm a big fan of strategy and resource management games and this one is so enjoyable with it's simple premise. I believe you could add alot of depth later on but for 48 hours this is fantastic. Really enjoyed playing this as well as the very calm and simple music.

pretty good game im not sure what it has to do with two sides though but fun

Good tutorial at the beginning! I absolutely love the sound and music. The music is calming and the sound effects are extremely pleasing and satisfying, which is important when you're clicking a lot. Game itself is just a clicker game that's pretty slow, I thought, but I see from a comment that letting things grow gives you more resources, which I didn't know.

This is such a charming idea, the colonisation of the land and the resource management, I'd love to see you expanding on this with more and more buildings and rescources, possibly turning it into an automatic kind of deal, you have built so so much with these foundations and it's a great entry, good job! :)

What a cool concept! I too was a bit lost because I didn't read the rules (I know, I know), so with a proper tutorial this could be really well extended into a full game! Very well done!

This is honestly one of the best games I've played, and the one I spent the most time playing, from this jam. I don't really have any criticisms, except to say that I'd love to see more content. The core gameplay loop is there to build off of and make a really great game. Wonderful job!

I can't honestly say I would change anything.

I had fun playing this! Weirdly addicting. My only real critique is that the game is a bit too slow-paced (that's just how I feel, though) and I think a button to instantly collect all available resources would be very helpful. Good entry, though :)

Took a very long time to play (probably because I didn't read the part that says waiting for things to fully grow gives you more resources) but it was very satisfying! I love how the lakes / windmills work.

Also I got this :)

The sound design and overall aesthetic is very nice. I think the pacing Is way to slow though, I felt like a lot of time was just spent waiting. but maybe I'm just bad at the game. Still really fun though, great job.

I absolutely loved this game.

The rules are simple and easy to understand. It was a ton of fun to slowly terraform each of the two levels.

With that said, the idea of the sound effects on clicking was brilliant, I just feel the sound effects themselves were kind of grating and really seemed out of place with the relaxing background music, perhaps changing the sounds to something in key with the music would make it fit together more cohesively.

Also, I had a hard time connecting this gameplay to the theme? I suppose you have to surround water with land but that isn't always with two sides?

Regardless, this game is great and if more levels were added and some more audio/visual polish, it is a game I could absolutely see myself buying and playing.

Yay! I did it! (Well, the actual level).

Great game overall, I really had fun playing it and the concept is interesting. I usually don't like this kind of games but the rules are simple and well explained in this one, the pace of the game is perfect and the music is quite welcoming.

The sfx were a bit distracting, and doesn't feel like they belong to the same game. As I wasn't completely sure what I had to do first, I ended with a lot of wood, but so little of the other resources.
