Character actions are confusing to choose and the game could really use some indicator about action targets (where to move, what to gather etc.). Also, in my perspective I just die randomly since I do not get any feedback on why I died.\n\nI'm sure this game has potential and it has a lot going on for a jam game. Maybe adding a small tutorial would be the game easier to learn so the player can actually start seeing the depth of this game!","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":779152,"author_name":"lindbranch","author_uid":"lindbranch","epoch":1649099378,"text":"Beautiful game but it needs more instructions.

You can fix that by in Unity going to Build Settings -> Player Settings and from there setting the screen resolution to be in line with what you want.\n\nI played the downloadable version though, and it was a decent little strategy game after I got through the first few very short attempts, figuring out what to do. The balance is very tight, with the goal being just barely achievable in my experience, which is a good thing. This game would definitely benefit from more feedback when the player does something. I found it rather unclear what was going on most of the time. The visuals are really good, though.","format":"md","likes":4,"spam":"N"},{"id":779293,"author_name":"NicLee","author_uid":"niclee","epoch":1649100264,"text":"Looks great!

I have to admit that I was very confused on what to do for the first...5 minutes? I eventually figured it out but I think some simple text like \"harvest\" or \"plant\" would have helped. Maybe the square could be outlined when you hover over it with your mouse? Anyway I felt triumphant when I succeeded at making a robot. I could see this being expanded into a bigger game?
