Thank you for the feedback, I'll definitely take this into consideration with this and future VR projects.
I agree the counter being pinned to your face isn't a great feeling, the wrist UI is a nice idea. I had started working on something like that - if you hold a seed against the palm of the opposite hand it will show a preview of the flower it will grow into - I plan on evolving into more of a discovery/progression aspect if/when I return to the project :)
