I'll suggest improving tutorial moment (because controls were not listed in description)
Also some tips for players who are stuck (like me)
Overall very solid game, artstyle is so cute, I enjoyed playing)
Nice relaxing game.
At start I thought you need to make those circles around rocks to make stuff, but find out quickly you don't need to. Just mix and match different types together.
If you wanna work on it more, then maybe add different planets with different types. Maybe you need a space rocket and then you can move to another planet? :smile:
I thought you could add to that road somehow, the don't connect if they are not in line and same direction. Did learn that the cats direction effects road direction.
If you wanna make it even harder: disable resource respawning, only give one item per source. That way you need to strategize more how to fill the planet. Also removing the option to reset some types to the default starting tile would make it harder. But I guess it wouldn't be as much fun than filling the planet fast.
Je viens de tester, j'aime beaucoup ce que vous avez fait sur la partie artistique ! Surtout que c'est en 3D ! Bravo à vous :)
Dommage qu'il ait pas de tuto, même un petit popup pour expliquer vite fait, quelques problèmes pour les contrôles, j'ai mis un certains temps pour commencer à utiliser les ressources.
Mais dès que tout ça est compris le jeu est vraiment fun ! Bravo à la team qui a taffé dessus vous avez fait un travail incroyable dans tous les domaines ! Bravo :)
J'adore le chat, il est trop mignon en effet ! <3 avec le petit sound
Although, some combinations were unintuitive. I opened all cell types in list, but there were no roads which I needed for the quest.
Overall, great relaxing and interesting game. One of the best I encountered on this Jam so far!
As for the last element (the ???), what insolent luck was mine! After some serious pondering, I chose the brute-forcing tactic. What a relief to start this technique on the right hexagon 😂
Unintentionally discovering unlisted combos? Purrfection! 🎉👀 Plus, I found not one, but two mysterious elements that weren't directly listed, adding even more mystery to the adventure! Thanks for the meowmorable journey 🐾🚀

Nice to have controller support too!
I encountered a bug, the frog achievement was duplicated and at the end I didn't unlock the second:

What I liked:
- the idea of a 3d planet with combinable tiles, reminded me a bit of Doodle god
- process of cultivating the planet is great and worth playing
- took me a while, but I was able to complete the game and was pretty satisfied once I managed it :smile:
- playing as a kitty is always great :smirk_cat:
What could have been done differently:
- the inventory is annoying, I think it would be much better if you can see all the item fields at once
- adding other sound effect would be nice
- mention also that inventory can be controled by Q and E
But overall great experience, well done! :thumbsup:
And the gameplay also impress me a lot, especially the hexagonal tiles, excellent job!!!
