I love the tutorial at the start, it was very helpful. I would like to see you expand the items you can collect and craft for more permant UV protection!

Tell us about your game!
In this game you play a philanthropic alchemist who learns of the danger of too much sun and sets out to protect their community. You craft umbrellas to cast shadows and brew aerosol sunscreens to protect innocent beachgoers from too much UV.
Move around with WASD, use E to spray sunscreen, F to drop or pick up an umbrella. You can preview where the umbrella goes by holding F.
Crafting and sleeping are done at your hut. Materials for crafting appear randomly on the beach during the day and you must gather them whilst protecting the people.
At the end of each day you are rated on how well you protected the people.

The presentation is gorgeous, I really love the mix of pixel art with 3D. The music is also really catchy and it fits the atmosphere pretty well. Regarding gameplay, this is really interesting and original concept. The gameplay loop is really simple but addictive. Each day you receive a score and you are incentivize to increase your score each day, and that is a really nice way of adding replay value. Overall, it is a really fun and cute game, great job!
