Nice game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation [video series](https://youtu.be/tHgMVMVGPRc), if you’d like to take a look :)

Great game, congratulations for the good work !

I had a some troubles figuring out the fourth puzzle in the quest mode though, the logic of it still don't appear too clearly to me, maybe the gap between this and the previous one is a little bit too high.

Also we enjoyed reading your post mortem review, some tools we didn't know that could be usefull. Thx !

As La mecanique du plastique said, I think the game was really interesting, but I couldn't get puzzle 4 to work. However it was really fun and I enjoyed it.

Thanks for making a good game :P

Pretty cool, though simple, game. The puzzles were pretty simple, though they definitely did help to figure out how all the stuff evolved. Sometimes when I created a water tile underground, all the land turned fertile suddenly, which was kind of weird, but that was a pretty minor problem.
Overall fun game.

Lovely concept and nice music. I had good fun solving the puzzles (especially the fourth one), I wish there was more. It took me some time to figure out what the numbers at the bottom mean, they could have a better description.

It's a fun toy!

Great concept, the art is nice and it has a nice relaxing mood.
I wish there were more block types to play around with!

Great work anyway :)

Very good looking game, it would be probably be more fun with additional blocks and a square map not a round one! Good entry!

Nice game! Really hoped for more levels and spent way to long in the free mode.

This is a very calm game and I liked that you included an endless and a quest mode. The music came out quite good. Some instructions on how to actually play the game would have been nice at the beginning.

This game is very good!, I really liked the idea of having quests and puzzles, the free style is also nice but more for people that like crafting, I guess. The music and graphics are very nice too. I think you could improve the amount of feedback for a full or extended version and you should definitely think about releasing this for mobile devices, people will like it.

Strange I thought I already commented, but seems it disappeared. Great idea, nicely done. The pretty good but slightly weird music fits the style well also I thought. Well done

Just a few more block types and dynamics could make this a really great little game. Blazing through the simple puzzles wasn't too bad either, though. Chill mood, and the name of the game is well chosen. :)

This is so lovely! I rarely stay and play the entire game when playing these games but yours was just too cute.
It did seem like there needed to be a lot more features to make it really compelling, but it's EXCEPTIONAL for a compo, I think.
I thought the sounds and music game a lot to the atmosphere, but I'm confused about why you made the UI like a bubble?
I guess the whole "terrarium" thing didn't really sink in until now.
In any case, great job!

nice game, reminds me of the game my team made. I liked the rule based approach. I think the game could benefit from a little bit more tutorial levels but otherwise very nice.
