Why this game exists?
This was my first full pico-8 game! It is a little rough around the edges, but it was fun making it. The game received decent grades, becoming 20th overall in the Compo category.

great game!
I enjoyed the simplicity of the mechanics! The time pressure didn't allow me to think much of ambitious plans, but it was still fun. :)
The game looks and feels wonderful, it would be an amazing game if you were to continue it. Tho I've found one problem, you can soft-lock yourself by spending all of your money and not being able to earn more, because you have no money to build. A simple fix would be to, make removing tiles refund you 50% of original tile cost. Anyway, imo it's a great game
Really fun game!
Thank you!
