A chaotic fun game, loved it! It goes really fast and I'm really bad at it, but that half the fun. Only problem I noticed is that resetting the truck makes all the crops disappear.

Fun game! The flying dynamic is difficult to master, with the momentum and all, but it does make it more fun.

I loved this game! It's quite fun to play, the music adds great atmosphere and the text and shots of the forest growing again between each level really add to it all. The concept is great, and greatly executed. The mechanics are interesting and build off one another. The little human did disappear from the map once though, and another time they just ran off the map.
@qaolin @oznarox Hi! Yeah, sorry about that, I completely forgot to put the tutorial at the start of the game. You can click the ? button at the title screen to see it, but basically you click the tools to pick them up and click them again to put them down, and use the tools on other objects around the greenhouse. If you right-click something, you inspect it, and a text appears at the bottom right corner of the screen talking a bit about the object. The text is too small right now though (I do intend to fix it after the voting period is over, as well as fixing other things).
@qaolin @cat-lab Thanks for the feedback! I didn't notice the text size problem, thanks for pointing that out! I'll be fixing it later, probably adding a setting option for text size too. I wanted the text to not get much of the player's attention, but in hindsight that's probably a bad design decision.
@cat-lab I do intend to make a better tutorial and put it at the start of the game instead of only being able to see it from the title screen, so I'm hoping to fix the initial confusion. Honestly, it's something I have to get better at, making tutorials and having a clear objective in a game.
Hi! It's pretty good, loved the concept and the music is very sweet. The idea to have things you have to build to go to the next phase is interesting, a good way to give the players an objective. I've got just a few points: I found it pretty difficult to grab the items, and after grabbing it it's a bit frustrating to have to keep pressing space to not drop it. Also, sometimes after I cut down a tree the wood spawned too far away and just fell.
