Hey, I like the idea of the tower defense cookie clicker crossover, but what´s missing for me is some indication of what i am doing. For example the right buttons seem to me like they´re labeled wrongly. I also got thrown of by my ability to control the camera a few times. Last but not least the win conditions seem to be pretty harsh for beginners.
I am not sure if i expected the decision making to be inverted to reflect some of the real life equivalent happenings. Also the options seemed to repeat pretty often, but i suppose that is due to the time limitation. Otherwise great job!
I liked the luigis mansion flair and how the game just lets you try out instead of just handing you a big tutorial in order to start. However, i feel like there is some polish missing to the overall flow of things, but that is probably only missing due to time constraints. BTW, other than suggested by other coments, a map would´ve killed the mood of the game. Direction indicators for the notes on the tickets you have to solve would probably be worth checking out. Good Job.
@jeff-kerman you´re right, we tried to advance the watering process in the beginning, blocking watering in the same spot from happening. Which in the release version leads to confusion since the watering can needs to be moved to water, but there is no indication of that requirement visually.
