Hi friend! The game is very cool, but the text is so much little. I don't now this is only in my PC but make the gameplay very dificult.

I loved the aesthetics!! The gameplay started very strongly, but after 10 minutes the game got repetative. But I think this has amazing potential if more buildings, settings, or plants are added!!

It's cute to be watching those little people walking around attending farms and going about their day. The music is a really nice fit. I had troubles figuring out how the water level affected the game, seems like it doesn't mean anything if it reaches 0, and I would expect the rain to be raising the water stat more, otherwise I don't see how the rain changes things. I loved the simple aesthetics and the sound effects as well.

Thank you!

Notes from gameplay:

  • Nice name, clever use of capitalization to convey multiple meanings!
  • Hmm, music doesn't appear to be playing
  • Great tutorial popup. The ding sound is a great indicator there's something important I need to look at and requiring an OK button means I can't accidentally dismiss it. Smart design
  • Why is the water level critical if it's raining? :P
  • Nice effects with the rain and lightning!
  • I wish i could use drag and hold for planting trees, like I can with gathering wood
  • Text cuts off the last line on the tutorial popup starting with "farming give food and wood"
  • Hehe the baby trees look like wild horseradish in Stardew Valley
  • Oh, music kicked in!
  • Oh noooo, the lake is vanishing! 
  • Hmm, are the round farms  from not gathering the resources in time? How do I make them grow again? Edit: Ah, I have to click them again to grow more? Edit2: Ah, the farm option has to be selected
  • I like seeing all the little people wandering around, that's a very cool extra detail. It makes this feel much more alive!
  • Oh no, we all died of thirst :(
  • Maybe code a way to skip the tutorial on a replay?
  • Oof another water crisis
  • Hmm, I'm told I'm supposed to plant trees to fix the water crisis, but planting them costs water!
  • Everyone died again :(

Nice work! I really liked the cohesive art style and your excellent staged tutorial.

oh, thank you so much! 

I’m still working on the game to improve the gameplay and user experience. Yes, there are some bugs, particularly with the ‘Farm’ button, which wasn’t active when you could replant – I’ve fixed that. I’ve also fixed the water level, which was stuck at 0. I’ve adjusted it to better match the water visible on the map. All of this, and much more, will be available in the next update!

Hmm, I'm told I'm supposed to plant trees to fix the water crisis, but planting them costs water!

If you harvest, you gain wood; replanting only costs wood, and it allows you to gain water once the tree reaches maturity.

The rain give a random points of water from 5 to 10 depending on rain intensity

I think I was conflating the background drain of water with the tree planting. I saw the water go down and assumed it was from planting the tree, not from the general drain.

Hi Loressa! I fixed a lot of bugs and improve the UX and the gameplay in the last release!

I'm happy to give feedback on your game if you give some on mine!

Super ambitious! I love the concept, and the zoomed out view is beautiful with the dynamic lakes and little citizens wandering around.

There are so many ways you could take this. I'd like to see the Community mechanic explored more and to somehow make the setting feel like the future rather than the past. 

Great work!

Quite an interesting concept, and great execution. Loved the artwork and the music!
