Gnomes have long disagreed on whether to build their cities on mountaintops or on logs. A genius architect has figured out how to combine the two, and has now tasked you with building a gnome city on a log, on a mountaintop!

Balance the buildings properly while managing happiness, science, money, and trash. How big can you build your city?

Nice game ! Here's my score. Dunno if it good or not ðŸ˜Š.



Otherwelse, I found interesing the mixed concept of balancing and city building. Many an improvement would be to add building description and make the camera moving forward to top so we can extend futhermore our city. 

If you want to test back our game for the GMTKGame Jam 2024 : Feed The Beast. Feedbacks are appreciated too.

Very cool concept, art style is top and seeing the little gnomes venture in this impossible to climb mess is really fun! One thing that is missing to me is some mouse hover building text to remind what is each building's function. Otherwise great!

love it, very fun take on a good concept.  the art style almost reminds me of those fangames that used to make waves in the heyday of newgrounds

The added progression makes it more replayable with setting up a better foundation for the complicated buildings.
