This was a lot of fun! I'd love to see more levels in the future or some sort of infinite mode where the game automatically clears certain combinations to give you more room.
A couple of notes from my side:
Thank you for playing and for the feedback ❤️
I agree with your notes and will tru to incorporate changes on next update. Gonna think how to squeeze it all. Thank you again for such detailed feedback!
One other note: I tend to associate "x" with negative things UX/UI wise, so when I have a tile matched with it's respective zone color the "x" appearing within the tile to signal the bonus points kind of confused me. I think having an icon of some kind there is definitely helpful, but maybe a checkmark or plus sign instead.
Though come to think of it a "+" might also look like an "x" with the isometric view lol.
I totally agree with you, in the first round I totally misunderstood what the + meant, saw it as an X and tried to avoid placing it, and ended up only getting 50 points
Thank you, it never occurred to me that it can be read as X!
Now it's a smiley face :)
Nice game! c: I admit that at first, it took me a moment to figure out how some of the placement mechanics worked and how to score enough points to move on to the next stage, but eventually I realized that placing buildings in the zones that match their color was the key!
Speaking of placing buildings in the right zones, I do like the different sound effects that play based on whether you placed a building in an optimal spot or not (and I really like the sound effect for putting buildings in optimal spots, simple but satisfying)! I also like the details you managed to fit into the (building) sprites!
As for some suggestions, I have the following:
Thank you for playing and feedback!
Yeah, i love your suggestions, as soon as i will have free time i will work on them, thank you again!
This is really fun idea! I like it. :)
Thank you! 🩷
