I feel like it's too slow, and there's not enough to do while you're waiting.

Was a little slow, but the challenge was appropriate... Worked well on Mac OSX

I just don't see any challenge. I love the graphics, and its great to see you using html5. Essentially you have resource gathering element from an rts without it building to a greater purpose. I really applaud your effort. The dynamics are solid. Great effort, I hope you build on it.

Was kinda interesting. Didn't really have very much of the theme.
Also it was very long for the amount of content it had.
It would have been nice to see something more than just "You Win" at the end

Works perfectly, but I think it needs some way to work in the background so you can switch between tabs while waiting for resources to stack

Sorry I can't rate. I get the "This Site44-hosted website has been temporarily suspended due to excessive usage".

The hosting is down but the game works fine if you download the zip file, extract it and open main.html in a browser.

I enjoyed the building up my little empire although I think I would have been able to do it without instruction if each button had a cost suggesting how much it cost to build. Then it might have been fun to work out the build tree myself. Nice work on the tree graphics.

Very slow, and it seemed like I was just following the instructions from the pastebin, not actually playing a game.

A good start. Like the other comments said, I think it might be a little slow to start out. It reminds me of the beginning of a Warcraft II game, but I think you would benefit by trying to engage the player sooner.
