Hey, thanks for taking time and answering my points! I didn't expect it haha
On text: the less the better, really. No animation would improve it greatly and you can also check for contrast (between the type color and background). You can also have those as options if you find it would fit the game best, here are some points to consider: https://accessible.games/accessible-player-experiences/access-patterns/clear-tex...
And on composting: I understand the need to be an introduction but I would be worried it can cause misconceptions (there's some comments saying they couldn't put things on ground as kids because it would attract bugs... their parents were right!). A disclosure could take this into consideration and direct people to search more for example, without changing the game :)
