About this game
Construct the infrastructure to rebuild civilization. Set up supply lines, mine skyscrapers for plastics, and find a place to process all the poop your people will generate. You have twenty minutes.
Farms generate food—those are the green dots you see below. All food is bright green. That's how you know it's fresh.
Build apartments. People will take in food and generate work. And they'll poop. But you don't have to worry about the poop right now.
Trails will convey resources like food and work between buildings. There's a limit to the volume of resources they can carry at any given time, so you'll need to plan your layout carefully.
Extend your reach by cutting through forest and... Uh oh...
FEED YOUR PEOPLE

TRAILS TRANSPORT RESOURCES
Trails will convey resources like food and work between buildings. There's a limit to the volume of resources they can carry at any given time, so you'll need to plan your layout carefully.
Extend your reach by cutting through forest and... Uh oh...
YOUR APARTMENTS ARE FULL OF POOP
So, you build a landfill to take care of the poop. Where was I? Cut through forest to get to ancient skyscrapers, which you'll mine for metals and plastics—you're an ace recycler!YOU HAVE DEFORESTED THE FOREST
Time to expand to other forests! But try not to tear them all down. Set up a water turbine and energy transmitters to power your search for more trees. And build some parks for points. Now you're cooking. Build a dozen high rises. More parks!AND YOU'RE OUT OF TIME
You just rebuilt an entire civilization in 20 minutes! That's no mean feat. Heck, it's going to take folks 30 minutes to do it in the sequel.WELCOME TO 20 MINUTE METROPOLIS!

T-Minus 30 Launches!
Build a city, assemble a space fleet, and flee the Earth, all in 30 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBPdjvK7dyk In T-Minus 30, you explore a post-apocalyptic environment and scavenge its resources to build enough rockets to save a small pocket of humanity. https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32967242/209e3a6f7384cfdde60a9d771e2e68251ba19c0c.jpg You start with a tiny settlement, where you till, irrigate, and farm the land to feed your people. As you expand, you exploit natural resources to build homes and roadways. You seek remnants of ancient civilization, mining ancient skyscrapers for their plastics and scavenging metal from the husks of automobiles you find in long-abandoned junkyards. https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32967242/89794b3d29b941596d4e6cfafee123be3e1ccf98.jpg With those resources, you can either go high tech, building up solar farms and hydroponics labs to stock sleek generational ships that each rescue thousands of evacuees, or stay low-tech, brute-forcing your population off the Earth by building massive numbers of 1960s era rocketry. https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32967242/b3790a17b308b63ec7c134ee9c1f162d35e0a1b3.jpg After 30 minutes, the end comes, and you take off.
