the usual endless/random hex- and card-based [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/dohi64/recommended/1046030]islanders[/url]-like. plonk down buildings and whatnot to spread your settlement as far and wide as possible. controls are mouse-based, no keyboard support at all. buildings have to be dragged onto the map, click to pick up, click to place doesn't work, left click inspects them and holding it anywhere drags the map. right click does nothing, that should be inspect, or simply mouseover, allowing for a more accessible control system.
even if you don't mind dragging, icons are much bigger if the map is zoomed out (mouse wheel), so it can be hard to tell if something can be placed or not. most stuff only goes on completely empty tiles but more advanced structures have special needs. basically, placement can happen where you want it, elsewhere or nowhere, and [b]there's no undo[/b], so a misclick can easily cost you the run. oh, and [b]can't get info on placed tiles, and with some buildings looking very similar, it can also lead to frustration[/b].
very basic gameplay, [b]all 5 levels look the same and are almost identical otherwise[/b] but only classic has a leaderboard for some reason. one has no mountains, another supposedly has more, or more water, and there's a donut-shaped layout, that's it. and [b]I specifically asked if there's mid-run saving, [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/2934400/discussions/0/6297799547305595965/]was told by the dev there is[/url] but it's not true.[/b] there's only restart and finish city in the menu, the latter simply ends the run, no way to quit and continue later.
rudimentary graphics, decent music. the only settings are separate volume sliders, no windowed mode, nothing else. alt+enter works but as always, it's a non-resizable window, have to edit the registry to change resolution. it's cheap but [b]has very little to offer and even that's not done well enough, plus there's the fact that the developer lied[/b], so don't even think about buying this or anything else made by them.
