I love homebrew, Pico-8, and ancient Egypt, so this is a total perfect storm.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I wish there were some hints about the ratios. It's a little daunting for me jumping right in. Any chance a &quot;getting started&quot; FAQ might be in the works?"},{"author_name":"BluShine","author_uid":"30611","time":"Aug 29, 2016 @ 2:49am","epoch":1472438640,"text":"After a few tries, I managed to make it to year 2 month 6 before going out of business. I discovered a few of the ratios, but I experimented too much and eventually ran out of goods. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>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. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Oh, and the graphics, UI, and sounds were all great."},{"author_name":"TerraCottaFrog","author_uid":"55226","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 3:25am","epoch":1472527200,"text":"Looks really cool but the controls freak out on me. When I open the menu it moves to the next level most of the time no matter what I do.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Like x is checked every frame or period of time or something.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It seems interesting, though."},{"author_name":"colapolka","author_uid":"110210","time":"Aug 31, 2016 @ 5:52am","epoch":1472622420,"text":"This is glorious.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>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.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>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.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nonetheless, this is an amazing game and I would love to see further development on this one!"},{"author_name":"qikcik","author_uid":"69120","time":"Aug 31, 2016 @ 12:13pm","epoch":1472645280,"text":"Good game , good graphics and sound, fresh idea , :D  but the controls freak out on me :P"},{"author_name":"Jupiter_Hadley","author_uid":"27744","time":"Aug 31, 2016 @ 2:16pm","epoch":1472652660,"text":"Very interesting game!
