I like the idea and the gameplay works fine, good job but a few things i would or improved were Give the player a proper goal to work towards i was taking shots in the dark waiting for something to happen and trying to grow the island also i found a couple of bugs, if you use lightning or water outside of the island the sprite will never disappear and the farms sometimes build over each other

A cute town-building game, I think this is an interesting foundation, I would like to see more options in the future, I hope you build on this post-jam :)

nice game!

An interesting idea.

While I'm able to eventually have my island grow, I almost felt this was more by chance than design.

Eventualy your background stopped clearing, so I'd end up with a assortment of lightning bolts and smoke clouds painting it.

You have the beginnings of a cool sandbox here. It took me a bit of time to figure everything out but it all made sense in the end. Some notes:

• Not having anything to do while waiting for the cooldowns made them feel longer and was the main detractor from having fun
• Both abilities are best used immediately. No reason to plan and use them at a certain time seems like a missed opportunity for player choice
• The passive building felt lacking. Some times they were more responsive to doing what I told them and others they wouldn't build and I couldn't tell why
• Food production vs. consumption is a bit unbalanced. I was constantly hit by massive death waves due to famine
• Related to the above point, death didn't feel like it had any negative consequences. Building wasn't slower and bounceback was almost immediate

I played for a while and enjoyed it! Here is a screenshot of when I stopped: https://i.imgur.com/lMdf8t6.png

If you intend to keep developing it, here are some bugs I noticed:

• Objects could be built outside of the bounds and on top of other objects
• Visuals from lightning and rain didn't vanish when used away from island
• Population count below cities doesn't go down after people die
• Trees never respawned even though I tried watering them and everywhere

Congrats on the successful jam!

I liked the floating island and blowing stuff up with lightning bolts. I was hoping there would be catapults though so that I could catapult some of the people off of the island. Overall 1.6 thumbs up

Looks cute and the concept is interesting, but a lack of explanation and especially the delayed and unclear feedback makes it difficult to understand what kind of effect your choices have on the game.

a bit confusing, couldnt place towns? Fun concept! liked the tunes!

Fun idea, but a little unintuitive. I didn't really understand what was happening most of the time. Also it might have been more fun if you could place stuff yourself.
