Neat cozy game! Doing all the times must have took a while :D

Love these kind of games, and this one looks and sounds great! I know it's a stretch, but what'd be great is a zoom in/out tool to focus and move around rather than dragging the mouse, even just keyboard inputs to move about would help a lot. (pressing right seems to eat up all my points, debug?)

Developer

Zooming out was originally in the plans but I run out of time. The right arrow was some very early debugging, I knew I forgot something 😅.

Very peaceful! I enjoyed finding out about new biome types and the introduction of animals suddenly recontextualized all the tile placement I was doing.

I did run into some weird error with a blank tile, which when selected just gave me a weirdly offset 9 that couldn't be placed:

This was pretty deep into the game and didn't break anything though.

I think you could afford to have the target numbers increase a little more rapidly. As it was I was at like 10x the target for the entire game...

Spotted this one as well but after the deadline 😔

It was meant to be a frog, I think it broke on the web export. There were quite a few bugs I found only appeared on the godot web export and not when running locally.

Pleasant and fun game. I like the concept and it was fun to see the land slowly develop and to consider which tiles I should be taking that would set future tiles up well. I think the difficulty could be ramped up earlier, but there is a really solid foundation here, great submission!!

Really fun to play and the graphics and music is lovely!

I love how a game as complex as this is able to explain itself without a lot of text. One just starts playing and making mistakes, and it gradually makes sense.

My favorite game of the jam so far! I would love to see this without the resolution restraints in the future. Great job!
