My main bit of advice would be to shrink down the farm size so that most everything fits comfortably on one screen. The map was so bountiful, yet I found myself confined to only a small portion.
Was there a way to choose how many tiles the plot you are building is? I may have missed it in the tutorial, but it always seemed to alternate size when I was playing.
Well done. :smile:
I like the bouncing animals, it put a little bit of life on the screen :)
Anyway, you made a management game, and in 72h, congrats !
I don't mind that the UX was sacrificed but the most important for me is responsiveness, which was the real missing component. BTW I don't know if it was such a great idea to put yourselves in the "Audio" category. The music does get a bit grating.
Otherwise, good job!
