Neato game, Tom! I love the dialogue and tongue-in-cheek set up. Nice use of the limitation, too!

Use of the limitation
through the GodPhone7(tm). Its a (mostly) diegetic interface where menues are phone apps.
Cookies eaten
A few hundred grams of M&M's, if that counts.

Hi, thanks a lot!
Dragons eat horses and stomp on trees. The game may still be badly balanced tho, so it could explain why dragon feel underpowered.
Sound problems come from single-threading from what I understand. I did not manage to make it work with multithreads on itch :(
Lastly, I put the smartphone in the middle so people would understand it's movable. That said, other people also told me it's not obvious so that's totally an error from me haha
Hi, thanks a lot!
You're right about the text. I had the very dumb idea to give myself the additional limitation to render the whole game at the pixelart's resolution (360*240 or so). That's what makes everything 2d and 3d fit together well, but the texts are also bound to that haha
Glad you enjoyed it nonetheless :D
WOW How did you get to 6k animals haha
my tests in-engine went under 30fps at approx 1k animals, and it's even worse in html5
Thank you for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed the game at the point of pushing it to its limits :D
Oh, and it's probably not possible to find an equilibrium. At least I hope it ain't, otherwise there's no game hehe
oh i’m on an m2 macbook air but even still it was chugging along pretty slowly by that point, probably something around like 1 or 2 updates on the in-game cursor position per second. i wanted to see how far i could push it! coulda gone on a bit longer but by that point it was hard to navigate the phone

Hi, thanks a lot!
I'll try to see what I can do about the warning, but that's a good idea!
edit: added !
Hi, thanks a lot <3
Cam movement is (at least on my side, could be acting different between computers) a classic click-and-drag cam. It does act weirdly when fully zoomed in. Is that what you mean? If so, I'll try to make it behave when zoomed in, that's been bugging me for a while aswell haha
edit: Camera should be stable in normal use cases now! when doing reaaaally small movements, it still jitters but way less.
I think I know the cause but I wasn't able to fix it at the root (at least not without a lot of maths that I definitely won't do at 2AM).

Hi, thanks! Yep, you're right, I didn't want to break the diegetic interface and it made things harder to read and to understand, I'll try to find a way to make things clearer!
The bars at the top of the phone are telling you what are your plants, animals and pollution levels. I heard they may behave unfairly sometimes because of the dubious game balance, I'll patch that aswell.
Have a nice day!
Hi, thanks!
Yeah, the messages are a bit finicky sometimes. Playtest people always managed to read them by moving the mouse to just the right place, so your problem is either a bug I didn't catch or you were really unlucky, either way, I'm sorry it happened, I couldn't find a way to make them less annoying ^^'
Have a nice day!
