I got this game to play in round 2 of judging. First, congrats on getting to round 2! Here are my thoughts on the game as I play it.
This was a neat game with a neat premise. Playthroughs are super short which is nice too, allows for some experimenting. I do feel though the RNG is a little unforgiving and you can easily get into a death spiral if you get too many of those damage to the forest events in a row. I did also find myself wishing for more definites on things like instead of bad events more likely to occur, how much more likely to occur? Granted that is also probably the fact that I deal with numbers a lot in my job so I like to see definite numbers, but adding something on that for player feedback could be worth considering.
I do think this though has potential and would like to see it expanded more and polished up someday!
