Quite the puzzle to maintain a water reservoir The Cons: - The in-game and pause screen user interface is very crude at the moment and could be improved further - Useful features like seeing the blocks on the same level and water reservoir areas aren't introduced to the players and can only be discovered by reading the game manual - Low poly graphics at the moment can be a bit jarring; a bit funny seeing the offsprings just be scaled down human character models! I've played most of it in sandbox mode to discover the game's features and get a feel of how to sustain the human population. It's a bit difficult to maintain given that they grow even without the shelter! So, it ends up having a population boom every time the crops grow then followed by a huge decline once winter hits. It is also still a puzzle to me how the other food sources work like the worms, melons, and that moss that grows only in certain elevations. The game is very reminiscent of those early 2000s desktop games to pass the time with - it's like the combination of the management mechanic of Insaniquarium and the graphics of Think Tanks and many of the early 3D games of that time. The game is low-effort and light enough that you can pick it up and play anytime without committing much thought during gameplay. Suggestions: = Playing it on desktop meant relying heavily on the mouse to click and drag crops or trees out from the menu and into the overworld. Having hotkeys for dropping down these items might be a good enhancement in the future. = Adding more block info when hovering over it for a while can help in learning to distinguish the world's different elements. Took me quite a bit to understand that the growing mass of floating circles in the sandbox's water was duckweed!
