How does your game fit the theme?
The game involves needing to manage a city as it is getting progressively more flooded from a storm occuring. Theres a relatively calm early game where you can build anywhere and then eventually everything becomes flooded in late game as the storm gets stonger
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes

Pretty fun and enjoyable game
Pretty great game! I was a bit confused about how things worked at first. I liked the cute art direction.
This is an awesome game! It's really fun trying to manage your resources and keep the flood at bay. Excellent job!
my first runs were rough, but it was fun to learn mechanics on my own
also love how it fits the theme with floods
This game felt really polished and great to play! The art is very cute and the mechanic of rising floods makes for quite a challenge! I enjoyed it! :D
Probably my favorite city builder of the jam so far. Good job.
Great game! UI, music and graphics are all good. I hope it's published later
The flooding is a really cool mechanic, really changes how you plan the city. I mentioned resource rates on stream and I also think a quick way to find where you assigned people would be nice. I can't help but wish there was something more I could do with ruin, though it is cool that they lock out future development if you're not careful.
Thanks for sharing with my stream! Here's a VOD for your game: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2254453937?t=02h27m43s
Very cool icons. The city builder with flood is a really cool ideas. Really nicely done.
Game looks amazing!! Not sure about the resource management not knowing why my population just started dying randomly on the first run was confusing I feel like there should be a resource tracker for food and water because it just felt weird having my population randomly disappear. But after I learned on the first run had to try and figure out a good balance of building resources and people resources feel like it world be a little easier with a food and water bar if. I had a great time playing even with that difficulty behind the game!
You can hover over the town hall to see food and water currently
oh thanks sorry I missed that will play again and see how it goes now
Great graphics, game has a lot of content to try, sounds are good, theme is well implemented, and village structure with layers is awesome idea I love it, great job
Here is mine if someone wants to try:

Lovely graphics and really good use of theme.
Shame about the money bug but otherwise it's a really polished game. The concept of the progressive flooding is really cool and I love the art style of the game. Great work!
This is amazing! This has potential. Great work people! 🔥🔥

The game really stands out with its impressive polish and engaging core mechanics! The isometric art style gives it a delightful charm, reminiscent of cozy town builders. However, I found the initial onboarding a bit challenging; clearer cues for incoming storms or flood events would greatly improve understanding. Overall, great work on the UI and gameplay!
I liked this a lot, lots of great polish and a solid core loop It took me a minute to understand what was going on so I think some better telegraphing of incoming storms or the floods actually happening would be beneficial but that’s the only criticism I have - interface is fantastic, love me a good management game and the isometric art style gave me ‘Into the Breach’ meets cozy town builder. Loved it!
Amazing art and UI, found the onboarding very rough and was lost for a while on what to do. Im sure with a nice tutorial or smth explaining will be amazing. Overall really great work and very polished for a jam.
The art and UI are pretty great, and this fits the theme pretty well too. Onboarding experience was a bit rough, but understandable after playing around with it a bit. Great work.
