MOORE!! GIVE ME MOOOOORRE!!!!!!!!!! Also, you can quickly move the mouse as you click to place things in spots they shouldn't be on
cute! would love to see bigger more polished game of this with a lot more feed back on what things make point wise while placed!
Hey, I had asked about how you got the grid builder to work for this game before. I was looking for a way to message you directly but couldn't find anything. I am running into a couple issues with a similar card to grid building system and was wondering if I could pick your brain about it? I was wondering if you have a discord or another way of messaging back and forth as well so that it wouldn't have to be in the comment section here? Thank you!
Yep, I've got a discord account (EquippedHats). Would be glad to help out, though I'm a little unsure on how direct message stuff works on there.
Would be nice to have pop-up numbers to help confirm I'm making what I think I'm making from each building at the end of the round.
Nice game with lots of potential. A little unpredictable, maybe 20% higher score requirements and more 20% turns per round will help (law of averages to the rescue).
