I have had this game for about two days now and have quite enjoyed playing it. The UI is clean and simple to understand and navigate. The tutorials do help a lot to understand the game mechanics and the objectives are made clear. I do enjoy the puzzles as it helps to give an idea of what the game play is like however, I did find that once your colony is well established, the choices that you made had very little impact on your village and would lose its challenging aspect. Overall Great game.

An hour or so in so far, and enjoying the experience. Just the right amount of complexity behind a simple system. A few bugs in the tutorial mode (like how apparently fighting off the invaders without using towers doesn't count), but nothing game breaking. Looking forward to seeing where it goes once I play through it.

Great game, a sucker punch that you need to buy the full game but other than that it is fun, one thing I'd like to add, can you have an option to have it play day by day? Like under the pause for time you can have it turn based? and every time you hit a button the day would pass. Bc there would be multiple days where I just sit and wait and the fast forward is nice but not fast enough. I also have a thing for everything happening together, rather than 1 to 2 seconds off of the start of the day.
