The game is too hard at first, then too easy once you get the hang of it. I didn't have time to tune gameplay properly.\r\r@sev_inf\rThat's by design. But it would have been nice to have smaller animals move faster and heavier animals move slower. Maybe even be able to lift tanks and trees after a while...\r\r@gameXcore\rThanks for the feedback. I agree.\r\r@Beerman\rWell done. I wanted to have tanks early on in development but were only able to put them in the game last minute.

I was thinking about having an energy bar or shield. Maybe allow the player to heal by scavenging tank wrecks... Didn't make it that far in development, though.\r\r@h.attila\rThank you.
