Thanks! The game does a version of this already: using the wrong tool shakes the place's bubble with the icon of the tool it needs, so I'll be watching whether new players actually notice it.

Hi! I'm making BarnRaiser, a cozy building game: take jobs from a small town, fell trees, saw boards, mine ore, and raise sheds, alone or with up to four friends on one screen.
It's early (no saving yet), and the first four jobs are a tutorial that's brand new. I'd love to know one thing most of all: does the tutorial get you through your first job without getting stuck? Where did you hesitate, and what did you expect to happen?
Play in the browser (or download for Windows or Mac): https://halfbuiltshed.itch.io/barnraiser A gamepad is best; the keyboard works too. Alone, WASD or the arrows move you, E picks up, Space works with the tool you're holding.
There's a 5-minute feedback form linked on the page and at the end of the game, or just reply here. Thanks for playing!
