Cool game! Surprisingly strategic when you learn what's going on (a short tutorial would help loads here). TBH only major issue in an otherwise v fun game is if you split a flower and it's on the edge of the map you lose one of the two new flowers, making the game way less intuitive / far too limited in your options.
Overall great job though, love the concept ;)
Really fun little game, could do with some metric on how 'well' you did (time to completion?) though!
Cool idea! Very morbid take on a management sim, love it ;)
This is such an innovative concept, definitely deserves fulls marks for that! will keep a tab open with this on for a while ;)
Idle games are my jam
Beautiful, Just beautiful! However, it needs a more difficult mechanic in survival than just spamming left click as even the largest fish weren't difficult and there was no real threat of losing.

It may not want to grow even if growing = true, but it is my baby and i will sing to it and love it <3
While playing I thought 'cute game, chill atmosphere!' then I worked out to putthe tap in the tape player and mood got 100x better - nice job! :D
Beautiful art and well polished overall! Gameplay was fun, a hard mode that would be more challenging by giving you more momentum (so its ahrd to avoid barelling towards large starts) would be awesome :D
Love the atmosphere and concept, and the map is gorgeous - minimalist, thematic and gets the job done really well. some feedback:
* More feedback on what wille happen with low supplies / infrantry is a must (lost the MC or HQ day 1 first 2 games as it wasnt clear how to stop that). * a 'skip to midnight' button for when its configured to your liking is essential imo.
Overall, great game!
Cool concept and beautiful design! I assume it's not possible to lose right now?
Might be worth making replacing components a bit trickier (like choosing from an assorted bin of components with a time limit) as just clicking makes the gameplay a little simple.
honestly pretty fun! some way of knowing what is going on outside the immediate screen (minimap, arrows pointing to enemies ...etc) would massively improve it though, as it would make it much more fast paced / less just zooming back and forth looking for enemies.
Cool game concept! Love the theme, it is a very fun twist on a management type game.
However, what i restarted. it was stuck on shooting throttles out - effective i guess, but not ideal! ;) throttle everything!.PNG
Sorry, i meant i didnt want to place them, as soon as the game started it spent all my money on throttles without me telling it to ;)
Cool concept, but it wouldn't advance cell state after the first level (space bar didn't work :( )
Ahhhhhh right that makes sense! making good progress right now, tis a fun game - might want to make clear to players though that space can be pressed multiple times (As I assumed it was 'solve in one move') :)
I agree, cool concept but hard to tell if what i do works!
it died! I went for resources and it died :'(
Amazing, atmospheric game - very cool.
Very innovative! Some feedback:
* When typing, it always misses the first few letters you type
* if you press' down' to speed up the text, it should stay that way.
I feel this maybe a bit marmite, as many people wont be comfortable typing in their memotires into an app, but cool nontheless ;)
Lovely chill game! I really like you made the fishing a bit of a challenge, really improves the overall experience ^_^
Lol, love that the timer goes to 100 seconds! difficulty should increase over time though - overall a solid game for 48 hours
Beautiful game, love the art style and its really quite touching :) Thought it was super hard at first, then I realised you could just run past the bats and it got a lot easier - crashed when I reached the end though!
Liked the art style and the lack of a map was quite good as it encouraged exploration and remembering where you had been. A quick introduction before jumping you straight into the game would've been useful - I had to tab back to this page to remember what I was suppose to do :P
Thanks for the feedback everyone! @headchant wow, I'd really like to know how you got that high, i didnt get close to that in testing! xD
@Plopmenz what can I say, Rabbits be rabbitin ;)
@teo-miklethun thanks! each type of plant / animal is scored uniquely (how is shown on the right hand side when you select that type). Things that are harder to keep alive score more, i.e: * Each Meadow score 1/2 a point (rounded down) * Each Forest scores 1 point * each Rabbit colony scores 1 point * Each Deer scores 2 points (there can be up to 3 in a herd) * Each Wolf scores 4 points (and again there can be up to 3 in a pack)
Thanks for the feedback, in future versions I will make this more obvious / intuitive :)
@axeltherabbit thanks so much! I just tested this and seem that by hardcoding the resolution in unity, if i enable full screen it just fills a corner at the resolution I hardcoded :( A learning point for next time, but given we are past the cutoff not sure if i can change this now?
Thanks for the amazing feedback everyone! This is just a small update to announce a bug fix, as it seems my sleep-deprived sunday evening brain made a rather silly error - basically, the final score caluclation was as follows: ``` totalScore = meadowScore + forestScore + rabbitScore + deerScore + wolfScore + totalScore; ``` Now you can probably see the problem there - every game added the player's score for the previous game, exponentially increasing the score they get no matter what :P! I have removed the errant totalScore and reuploaded to itch / bitbucket, so congratulations @jabdownsmash - you will reign as the highest scoring player for eternity, as aint noone gonna get a score as high as that again! ;)
This however has been a good insight for me, as having a more complex scoring method that reward interactions between species seems like it would be a great way to reward players for experimentation and coming up with sustainable ecosystems - would of course be interested in any thoughts on this idea! :)
@mudlee interesting, thanks for the feedback! I have to admit that tinkering with the speed of things took up an inordinate amount of time - I just couldn’t find a good balance between not making the game slow but having slower movements - out of curiosity, do you think if they moved simultaneously / several at once, that would be more or less confusing?
Yes graphics were hand drawn, though on a computer not on paper - the original plan was to redraw it all on cartridge paper and scan it in, but alas I ran out of time! Thanks for the feedback :)
What are the controls? I've worked out a/d for left/right and lclick 'action' but cant work out up down (w/s) don't seme to work, at least in the html5 version)
I agree that a fast forward would be good, and some way to automate ships (i.e. set a list of commands to repeat, i.e. mining ship 1: go here, mine, return, drop off minerals, refuel, repeat) would be a massive QOL improvement.
Either way, this is the first game ive reviewed i want to sit down and play for fun later, good job! :D
Ship controls seem wrong on the dashboard - it says up/down is pitch, but for me it was forward / backwards, and left/right is strafe not yaw. Cool concept though!
Tried on HTC vive but the controls don't seem to work - clicking the thumbpad teleports you below the floor, and none of the other buttons do anything :(
Regardless, graphics are very pretty (in a disgusting way! ;) )
HA! Very similar vibes to that old skiing game ;) I ended up finding 3 burgers and dieing from obesity - serves me right for gorging!
Interesting concept! I like hows its not about burning everything (as you run out of green tiles) its about managing the burn to keep it going :D
