I got past the first two delivery requirements, but then got to the third one where you needed to get the bamboo.  As far as I could tell, the max I could grow at a time was weed toilet paper in 2 toilets, which I had, but the profit margins on this was absolutely tiny.  After keeping at this for about 20 minutes, I only had around $50, and in order to even begin growing bamboo toilet paper for the next goal, I'd need $250 dollars for both a bathtub and the first bamboo seed bag.  I figured this would take me well over an hour, which was not remotely worth it especially given the fact that the gameplay largely consisted of watching plants grow excruciatingly slowly.  It was also frustrating to have to repeatedly click on the computer, close the order window (which for some reason opens automatically) and navigate to a menu just to sell for measly profits.\n\nI think this game could've been interesting if the pace was much faster and\/or automated, and if there were interesting economic\/strategic decisions to make, but as is it seems like it's just grinding.  It makes me wonder how this was playtested, unless there is some feature I completely missed.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"MaiMai","author_uid":"1038149","time":"2020-04-26T01:18:57Z","epoch":1587863937,"modified":1587863937,"text":"That's great feedback, @empty-set , thank you!

Also the slot numbers was a bit confusing since everything seems to slot into a single space regardless of \"size\"?

I did find 2 potential bugs. The first is that I don't really need to purchase seeds, I just need to remember where each seed bag position is, then click and drag from there to plant, and I'll get infinite seed supply. The second I'm not too sure but if I max out the store size upgrade then click again, the walls suddenly expand and there is a large grass gap between the last available slot and the wall. Other than that though, its an extremely good looking game, with nice animation, I especially like the truck for the lvl 1 store, with an extremely addicting game play loop that kept me hooked till the end.
