Game Refunded because you're trapped into doing the Tutorial every time you start a new run (even though I ran the Tutorial several times in the Demo). I sat for an hour trying to get my population up enough to get OUT of the Tutorial and on to the actual game but finally quit and refunded for wasting my time that way. Will consider a repurchase (and review update) when they let you opt OUT of the Tutorial because it looks like a great little game. Update: After looking through the latest update, and population adjustment for tutorial, I'm giving this game a thumb's up. I was perhaps a bit harsh initially and am pleased to change my rating and even purchase the game again - it looks like the devs are really on top of feedback and are still improving the game greatly.

Interesting and fun game. You don't need resources to produce buildings. Instead, placing buildings is free, and you are producing resources to keep up with the demands of your citizens. In this way, the game is more about the logistics of moving your resources from A to B as quick as possible than anything else. Space then becomes your most valuable resource as you have to fight to keep things organized. Because of space limitations your "factory" quickly becomes disorganized and far from perfect, but that doesn't stop you from accomplishing your goals. You'll start with a plan but eventually you'll just be placing things wherever you can, because there is no where else for it to go. Then, because your building is in an inopportune spot your network will be moving resources all the way across the map to get them where they need to go, clogging your roads. This part can be a touch frustrating since I like it when things are organized! Giving players a bit more space or the power to make certain buildings operate faster could help here. Overall I had a great time playing it and I'm interested to see what comes next!

I found this game very calming and satisfying. The abstraction/minimalism of the design somehow makes it feel less stressful than other city builders or colony sim type games where I find myself worrying when my little people's needs aren't met. Here there's a sense of peace to rebuild or optimize something that gives a less frantic enjoyment. Interesting how a graphics tweak can change the experience.

Already in love with this game. a great game to just relax or have it in the background. Devs, PLEASE add modes that possibly allow us to craft our own world, as well as a huge map that we can expand maybe by unlocking chunks of the map? I really want to have a lot of room to make massive plantations and long railways! i would just want to have an endless mod where i can build a massive civilization. heck even maybe missions that town halls give out from time to time wanting a bulk amount of stuff, just so i can keep playing on one map.

A fantastic resource management game with tons of potential! Mini-Settlers is incredibly fun and offers a rewarding experience similar to Factorio. The game runs smoothly and is very addictive, especially for fans of strategic planning and resource management. However, a few quality-of-life updates would make it even better. The autosave frequency needs to be shorter (individual settings!), and the option to disable or ask again when pressing the close button away from the options button is essential - I've accidentally closed the game several times and had to do redo 10 Minutes of thoughtful planning - after the second time i quit the game: Also, time-based challenges feel out of place in a game meant to be relaxing. Finally, the ability to see full production chains and have all buildings unlocked from the start would greatly enhance my planning experience. Despite these issues, I highly recommend Mini-Settlers to anyone who enjoys the genre.
