This is nice. It’s not immediately clear why would I need to craft or cook something and where resources are used, and notifications are too many and they just came and go too fast, but overall, it’s kind of fun! Best react components gallery I’ve ever seen. 👍

Thanks for the feeback!

I’ll be improving the game further, right at this moment I’m working on a tutorial for the game, I expect to launch it in 1~2 weeks.

In a few months, the game will be on Steam, see you there!
