Hello! I've played this game for around 1.5 hours on my web browser, and wanted to share some of the things I noticed.

First of all, it looks absolutely amazing! The colors work together really well, and the mini tutorial was super helpful.

After playing for a while, I found that the number of items spawning in on top of the tiles was overwhelming, especially the ones used to create the color changing potion. I assume you will only ever need one of each potion, but I had to create a lot to keep getting rid of the ingredients.

I also loved the pumpkins, which I'm assuming are a seasonal thing, but I think they are spawning too fast because I have way more than I know what to do with. An option to discard tiles or items would also fix this problem.

^^(The attached screenshot should give you an idea of those ratios I mentioned above)

During my longer playthrough of the game, I never received any witch hats for some reason?

Pressing the menu button and using "new game" to return (it is my only option, but I think you already know about that bug) causes the first land tile envelope to spawn somewhere I've already placed a block. While it doesn't clear the world, it does clear the discovered material index. And I think causes my box to disappear, which is probably why I was overwhelmed by items.

I'm not sure what action I do causes this, but my trains will sometimes freeze in place perpendicular to the track they were previously following. This is easily fixed by picking up and re-placing the train.

After playing for a while, I stopped receiving any land envelopes other than the basic purple ones, so I wasn't receiving any dirt, stone or planks at all.

When my item envelopes would "disappear", I would go to the menu and re-enter using "new game", and they would be visible again. The envelopes do disappear again after that, so I have to repeat the process pretty often.


I'm sorry if it seems like I'm throwing a lot of criticism at you, that is not my intention. I really like this concept and where the game is headed, and I just wanted you to know what I though as a player.


A few quick details I really liked: you can change the color of the fence! Clicking the candles special item turns the flame on and off, and when lit they actually provide light!


again: great game, great artwork, and I'm looking forward to future updates!

I forgot to mention- returning to the game using "new game" sends me back a few steps from what I had already done, so saving upon opening the menu might be helpful. :)

I don't know if that's possible on browsers :( but you can save and load scenes in the downloaded or Steam versions, and we're adding more saves soon! 

Oof that's a long comment hahaha. I'll try to reply to every paragraph- but first of all, thanks for playing Mystopia, and it's great to ses you liked it! 

We've recently changed how the non ground letter algorithm works, and that update will be live in the next few days. It should feel a bit better then. 

You weirdly only got six(?) items (out of ten) and I don't see the Pentagram either, but I believe this will also be fixed in the next update. This bug might also only appear on the browser version. 

The ground block progression was bugged due to me checking a wrong variable on the code (oops). It'll be fixed in the next update and you should receive stone, dirt etc. more, along with new grass blocks and water blocks! 

The letters disappearing bug has been fixed, and it will go live in the next version. 

For the critism part - don't worry, this is a great comment, and I thank you for it! We were only aware of many bugs you mentioned because this version is nearly a month old, but comments like yours helped us discover and fix them!

We have a major update coming super soon to both here and Steam. I'd love to see you play it again when it comes!
