I got a bit confused about what I was supposed to do, and I got stuck on why the game was ending because it seems to happen randomly. The concept itself is pretty nice, and the game performs pretty fluently (aside from the AI getting stuck every now and then, easily fixed by changing the action then changing back).

I like the different songs for different modes, though some audio cue for when you're reaching the resource limit would have been helpful, as that snuck up on me a lot. Pretty good use of the theme though.

I think everything seems to work well except it is difficult to figure out how the game works. I have been playing for awhile and I am still unsure about how things work :sweat_smile:. I really like the mushroom and music design.

I've only figured out that I should avoid having too much resource but nothing else. Is the colour of buildings random? What does energy do?
