The presentation is nice and it was really fun watching it played on Kiri's stream, but this kind of application of Twitch integration feels like more of a limitation than an asset to me. I could see it still being playable as a party game, but that would require manual tracking of votes and scores in its current state. I think Twitch integration would work better as a nice to have feature rather than a core element.

Loved it! I managed to beat it pretty quickly, but only because I'd picked up a trick from watching Kiri's attempts (jumping into the left side wall to get to the platform above) and accidentally figured out another trick for the platforms at the top (skipping the 2 platforms directly right of the webbed one). Even then, I had to do it all twice because I fell straight to the bottom after accidentally charge jumping into the little brick blocking the way to the last section... lol!
My biggest complaint is that the game didn't seem to like being set to higher graphics levels initially, as I couldn't water the planters even though I waited for the water to stop flowing from the taps before leaving to water the planter. I ran into no problems if I did the first few planters with graphics set to a low level, then swapped to epic/cinematic.
It's a fun game to pass the time, though, and the visuals are stunning if you can get it running smoothly in epic/cinematic mode.
I was really looking forward to playing this one, as I'm really into 4X games. It was tough to get into, but once I figured it out, it was really fun and a fantastic game!
Some others have suggested a better tutorial, but I think even just adding an in-game encyclopedia that explains each type of tile and resource in more detail would go a long way to making this game easier to get into.
