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.

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!
