How to play

This is a Puzzle game. The difficulty will decide how much space you have per level. Hard starts you out at 20 building, which is just enough. Medium has 22, so a bit more breathing room, and Easy has 25. Sandbox mode gives you 999 buildings per level, which is more than you'll be able to fit in it.

You progress through the game by getting upgrades. These will each have a requirement, and figuring out how to achieve these is the main gameplay. The first upgrade requires you to reach 20 people.

At the beginning there are three different buildings available. The numbers on the side tell you what resources they require and give.

Start by building Huts. Once you have enough Food, you can build Houses, and once you have enough People from those you can build Farms.

Build buildings by clicking on them and then on the map where you want to place them.

Finishing the first upgrade will unlock the Town. Here you have new buildings, including one called "Village". This uses everything you've built as a blueprint, and gives as many People as you have in the Village level. Changing the Village level will also change what the building gives.

Continue getting upgrades to progress through the game. You will unlock further levels and will need to keep switching between them.

You can delete buildings by clicking on them and then the Delete button that will appear on the right. This is not possible if deleting the building would put you in the negatives for any resource on this level.

Levels provide resources to higher levels. For each resource that is needed by higher levels you can see how much of that resource is needed. If you go below the needed amount and leave that level, it will reset to the last time it had the needed amount of resources.

If you are stuck, try looking at the recent Upgrades you've gotten. That may give you an idea of what you can now improve.

You can save the game in the Settings tab. There are three slots, which can be renamed.
