Still fairly new myself, but I found GDQuest's YouTube channel quite helpful!

Very fun and interesting game, well balanced.
Amazing you were able to balance all the elements to make a fun challenging game with 3 different difficulties! The random generated terrain, the turned based strategy survival, the peaceful music and sound effects were all super impressive. Definitely taking notes lol. There is a lot of content here, and at first it was hard to take it all in but once i made the investment, totally worth it! Great job on this, you have a penchant for balancing and sweet game loops.
Thanks for the nice comment! The balancing was definitely a tricky act, I spent a lot of time on it and I'm still not fully happy with it. Glad you enjoyed it!
Great game interesting game play, first time I have played a turn based video game nicely themed and great graphics be interesting to see it finished. You managed to get an lot done in the time allowed.
I liked this, it was fun (♥ω♥*) great job! I decided on a lot of nutrient paste dispensers to get lots of food, they may not like the food but they'll survive dammit! (≧ω≦)ゞ lol
This game was super fun, I beat easy mode and then tried hard mode like three times but I couldn't beat it.
Super impressive for a jam game.
High level of polish, a lot of content and really good balanced gameplay.
Played for an hour (beat normal and continued playing), rated and will now go and beat hard.
Thanks for making this great game<3
Okay, done:

[SPOILER]To me stacking corn with the solar sphere is the most efficient food source.
I stopped upgrading at the 1k gold mark and invested heavy in rerolls (had 10 at the end) an rolled heavily on corn.
Nice job! Yeah, Corn + Sun Lamp is one of the most powerful high rolls that can carry you through hard mode. Glad you had fun with it!
Great game! Only played it on Heavy Blizzard. Played it twice and made it to like turn 94. Is there actually a turn where they declare you winning?
You win when you assemble and complete the Rocket Capsule, Rocket Fuel Tank and Rocket Engine, which are tier 5 cards, so you need to be at least upgrade level 6 (probably 7) and then survive long enough to get the rocket up and running. Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed it!
I really did! Simple yet, full of strategic depth. On the comments I saw earlier, one mentioned that there should be a food/gold per turn indicator. You said it is hard to do with some of the things like hunter. You could add it in and only count guaranteed income and food generation.
Great game!
It's a wonderful management game. The atmosphere is awesome too!
One of the greatest games I played of the Jam.
Congrats =)
I really enjoyed this! After each loss, I just wanted to play once more! I love the simple design, and each build-up to winter as you try and find the most efficient way of earning enough food to survive, I had to stop myself from playing it for too long!
Felt very polished with very addicting gameplay. Just really well done! Also I spent at least an hour trying to beat the heavy blizzard mode, is it even possible?
Thanks for the comment! It is definitely possible, I've seen at least 1 person send me a screenshot of the Heavy Blizzard win screen. It does need quite a lot of luck though, it's probably a bit overtuned.
Well I was finally able to beat it! Once you get past the hard point it becomes basically impossible to ever lose. Spent way too long on this lol. Addicting game what can I say.
Wow, congrats! Yeah, once you hit critical mass, you can probably outscale the game, and after you get to the point where your forecast only shows question marks (day 180 or so I think?) the winters only scale by 5% every time. Glad you enjoyed it enough to keep playing so much, and it's nice to see it on video as well!
A beautiful game with good graphics, great gameplay and smooth and graceful music. I also love the FWOGS!!!
I really like the game good job!
Really fun to play! I only played the easy mode to get a sense of what the game is about, but I got hooked anyways! I want to play more and see if I can beat the hard mode! I really liked the variety of cards that the game offers! Very very good job!
Overall pretty fun! I definitely underestimated winter and how much food I needed, haha. I can see this being very addicting and definitely has potential to be expanded on a lot.
Very fun game! Without even noticing how it had got me, I reached the 89th turn in my first run. The music is very calm, perfect for the game, and the sound effects are placed just right. Loved the art, yet I believe that it could've been better (I refer mostly to the tiling and UI).
Really well made, the art is amazing, I like the music too, the only thing I'd do is add a way to easily skip through winter since there's not much you can do there
this game is absolutely amazing. It is really fun to play and is very well made. I might actually start playing this regularly to finally beat heavy blizzard mode
Excellent game !
Simple mechanics, easy to understand and engaging.
I really enjoyed it :D
