Population Scaler

WARNING: WE FUCKED UP EVERYTHINGGGGGGG WE SO SORRRYYYYY

Build your city, reach the quota and become the best mayor (on paper)!

At every turn, you are given an amount of energy and random cards to play with. Each building card has an energy cost, a space requirement and will affect your city's population, health, money or happiness. Your objective is to reach the level's target before running out of turns. Decide where to put your buildings, manage your resources and think ahead to beat the level(s)!

Game made in 4 days for the GMTK2024 Game Jam. We had a lot of ideas to expand on this game's premise (which, we realized while naming the game, was not as original as we thought) like events, proximity effects and skills. But for now, we hope you enjoy our clumsy project!
