I wish there were some hints about the ratios. It's a little daunting for me jumping right in. Any chance a "getting started" FAQ might be in the works?
The game already gives a decent amount of feedback, but I can't help but wish for a little more, even if it was vague (or maybe written in hieroglyphics). Like, if something is waaaay off (10x too much water), a hint about that would be good. It was fun to sell 100% pure water beer, though.
Oh, and the graphics, UI, and sounds were all great.
Like x is checked every frame or period of time or something.
It seems interesting, though.
I'm a big tycoon nerd, so I'm a little bit biased. But this might be the coolest entry I've seen thus far. Graphics and overall style are superb. Fitting a tycoon game - including a readable and decent UI - in 128x128 pixels is a feat on its own.
The only thing I have to criticize are the controls. It seems rather unintuitive to me to hold the button for the interface instead of just opening it with a single press. Further, the controlls inside of the brewing tab are way to sensitive.
Nonetheless, this is an amazing game and I would love to see further development on this one!
