The graphics are amazing for a jam, though I'm not clear on why the astronaut needs to wear the helmet inside.\n\nFarming in space is charming. If I could add something, I'd try to make the seeds more distinct, and more suggestive of what they'll end up as. Also, I died because I couldn't find the trash. Perhaps there is something you can do to make it more obvious what we can interact with? Another pitfall is that when I grabbed a seed from the first time, I didn't even realize I had! My character was in front of the dispenser so there was very little visible movement as the seed went up on my head.\n\nOverall I like it, and this is one of the games I've seen with the most potential for growth!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"KostblLb","author_uid":"1112219","time":"2018-08-14T14:17:59Z","epoch":1534256279,"modified":1534256279,"text":"couldn't create anything in smelter and just died in the end :(","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Saering","author_uid":"1081341","time":"2018-08-14T14:19:54Z","epoch":1534256394,"modified":1534256394,"text":"That's indeed a relaxing game, cute and funny to play!
