I love the dialog part and how clear the goal was. I wish there was more of progression like upgrades maybe.

Really nice game! Nice work!

Very well polished! The tutorial is very well integrated and the game has a very good balance!

Really cool game, only small thing was that towards the end of the game, the cracks stopped forming, leading to me just running around, grinding, but that is nothing major as for the majority of the gameplay, it was hectic :D nice inclusion of the in-game tutorial in the form of dialog - only thing missing was actually telling players which button is interact so they wouldn't need to mash the keyboard blindly :) Good job!

@drunk-wizard > towards the end of the game, the cracks stopped forming

That was kind of the idea, cracks do not form in green areas, so when most of the planet is green, they don’t have anywhere left to form. But I definitely agree that the ending could be more polished, as it’s not particularly enjoyable at the moment.

> only thing missing was actually telling players which button is interact

Ahah, the tutorial does say to press space to close the cracks, but it’s true that you need to have found the space key already in order to access the tutorial :D I’ll add it to the description.

Fun game. The only issue I had with it was how fast you moved, it made it pretty annoying to grab some water drops, maybe if a button could make you move slower that could help? Otherwise it was a pretty fun game.

Well done!! Really like the concept of the game. Maybe adding more items would be nice, like upgrades or a battery to recharge. :)

I love the lil robot he is very cute, game concept is real good but I think it misses a penalty to when you let the tank run out of fuel.

At first I thought the game was only fixing the cracks in the map. But when green appears, really mean something. At the same time, plants also help control unstable spread. I like this feeling very much. It's a great game

Nice sprite work. The game has a bit of an Earthbound fell to me. I wasn't sure whether or not I need to talk to the npc in the middle after the fist stage, but was very well communicated.

I saved the planet! yas! very nice game. cute art, nice gameplay. i enjoy a lot how u gotta plan on how ure gonna close the breaches and water plants to block it regrowing.

Beautiful little game, really like the graphics and the mood. Ok theme usage. Only minor issue is the controls that would improve with a little acceleration instead of full movement (sometimes is hard to get on right spot)

It is a fun game, the only issues I had were that the character moves way to fast, I constantly missed the water things, and the the grass for me was really slow to grow over the last few spots

That was a fun game, very nicely done! I think it would be great if you added a bit more to the game, like levels and such, but other than that, I quite like it! The art style is good, the controls are intuitive, and the sound effects are well done.
