The perfect mobile game. One IAP unlocks the game, and you definitely get your money's worth with this one. It's not overly complex, but feels great to play and manage your resources. One suggestion is that the compendium could use a little work, maybe categories instead of having to flip through the pages, and maybe a way to find similar buildings or locations. Press and hold to highlight all similar locations or something like that. Otherwise, fantastic mobile game, other devs take note.

Great game, a sucker punch that you need to buy the full game but other than that it is fun, one thing I'd like to add, can you have an option to have it play day by day? Like under the pause for time you can have it turn based? and every time you hit a button the day would pass. Bc there would be multiple days where I just sit and wait and the fast forward is nice but not fast enough. I also have a thing for everything happening together, rather than 1 to 2 seconds off of the start of the day.

Great game. However, i would like to say that science points are too hard to gain. It's especially so in the campaign because I got limited resources already and also limited objectives like "You got to pay two tributes and get a small amount of science points." It'd be nice to keep paying tributes, even after the objectives as a way to allow us to get our science up.
