The art style and the concept are really good!
Two issues:
The GUI isn't intuitive. I tried everything in order to clear the capsule and ended up restarting the level from the menu. It turns out you can cycle each organism back to zero it you click it three times? A *clear all* button and right click to reduce the amount of organisms would be nice.
There isn't enough feedback. I finished the second level by filling the planet with so much stuff that everything died and then sending in the required organisms. Not sure if this was the way to go, **but it worked!** The *consumes* and *requires* fields aren't exactly clear either, especially due to the icon colors.
Some hints here and there would do really.
This could be something you know, but it requires work.
There's a fair amount of guess work that has to be done in order to make progress, but some games are simply like that, and I won't deduct any points for opting to use those mechanics. But a little more detail would definitely be nice.
Love the universe and the title.
Didn't manage to finish every level, but it's really cool to try to understand how everything works!
My only little problem is that it's not possible to reset our choice, we have to return to level selection, reselect the level, and try again! Or I just didn't find how to do it! ^^
Awesome entry anyway!
