Very cute and relaxing game! The beavers were adorable, and the mechanics were cool and very well programmed. I expected to see at least some bugs with the helper beavers when getting in their way but didn't encounter any—good job on that! The progression and gameplay loop were great, although a bit repetitive. However, this didn’t affect my enjoyment of the game, and I had much fun playing it.
I noticed you've asked for suggestions for future updates. Here are some of my thoughts, which are very open to interpretation, and I think will work well after you’ve addressed the main issues others have mentioned:
- Adding randomized encounters and/or a storyline (possibly with NPCs)
- Expanding the forest and adding more reasons for the player to go there
- Increasing the size of the river and making the dam customizable
- Adding flavor to the river, such as dangers or flowing resources
- Introducing an exploration aspect to the game, like discovering NPCs, enemies, resources, items, etc., in the river and forest
- And just expanding on the original idea, I believe, will make it more fun
I don’t know how helpful these suggestions are, but I hope they provide at least some inspiration. This game is already amazing, and I’m sure it will become even better if you stick with it!
