Flotsam
Manage your drifters as they try to survive in a harsh ocean world, where everything is trying to eat you or sink your town to the depths of the sea! You’ll need fresh water, seafood, and scrap to make sure your drifters can make the best of this wet situation. Luckily the flooded environment offers all kinds of relics from the old world to recycle. Your drifters can transform garbage, driftwood, and flotsam into boats and buildings. These allow them to collect rainwater, hunt for various creatures, and reel up scrap from the ocean floor. Steer your town as you explore a sprawling, dynamic environment with tall ruins, underwater cities, and coral reefs full of sea life and garbage! Raise your sails to choose which obstacles to avoid and which to dismantle.

I love the game! HOWEVER, I built a good size town, then it wouldn't let me build anything else. Apparently there is a maximum size for town, at least for now. Unfortunately, I was nowhere near completing the technology tree, so the game is definitely incomplete.

Great game. Getting improved constantly. If you like city-builders management like Frostpunk, but less punishing and more wholesome, it's for you. It also has a Rimworld-like feel to it, because of the inhabitants having traits that makes them better at some tasks and worst at others, so you have to "know" them to use them appropriately.

A word of caution is also why I like Flotsam: It's in development, so it's changing. Things work, then change, and sometimes break before they work again. It's like playing a new game every few months. The play is casual, which I like. But interesting enough to keep me playing one more game day. They've added "architect" which allows fixing city layout. Floating things can be rearranged. So unlike other city games, when something doesn't work, you don't have to destroy, crash your population, and then rebuild. I like the discord community too.

Cute game, maybe a little expensive ... for what it currently is but still worth the collection. I recommend it but only when its on special. ♥

Thanks for playing. I enjoyed playing it twice, opened all kinds of buildings and built a big floating city) It's a pleasure to pass time with it, and it's quite easy and fast. For a couple of weekends you can easily try all the features of the game. Also the game has nice graphics and gameplay. Thank you for continuing to refine it.
It would be cool to add some dangers to the game. The game description states that there are predatory sea creatures in the game, but I didn't encounter any. There is a whale swimming around, but it's safe. For example, you could add different predators on land, in the air and in the water and the ability to create and pump different tools and weapons to counter them. Also, I would love to play through the story campaign in this game if there was one.
I'm waiting for the full version to come out already. Thanks for an enjoyable game!)

Flotsam is a city builder in which the city is a ship that expands by building annexes and attachments.
You move around a Waterworld-like scenario where most buildings and roads are underwater, collecting resources and expanding your city.
It's fun and chill, not as punishing as some other games in the genre, but please do read the tutorials or you'll feel completely lost.

The game is really fun. However, the logic of the game sucks which is a fatal problem in such game focused on city building, and the problem can not be solved but scaling during game play through.
I think tutorial has some issue, however the game is simply enough to play even without tutorial. I will give this game 6/10 due to the problematic logic and tutorial I have talked above. But it is really a fun game so i will recommend it.
