Apparently I am one of the worst people at this game but I had fun playing it! I think the 3D art style was well suited to this simulation style game.
other than that it seems to be working as intended. Pretty fun and a bit challenging, especially when you get to the Muckroots, enjoyed the Oxygen not included referance btw.
The leaderboards are a bonus, but since it's only the scores themself being tracked it looses some meaning and competative incentive, i mean, who's beating me and who have i buried in dust lol. allowing a name to be submitted before the score is submitted would do this a favour imho
And it is fun!
I especially loved the way the liquids are named by their color and the mechanics around the red!
Polishing the liquids aspect and having the plants directly in some soil are the only things I would suggest.
