Made it to level 10 :)
It would be awesome if there was a tutorial at the beginning to explain what all of the different upgrades and people do instead of giving it to the player all at once. Adding in some visuals to the plant to show off its growth would also be a nice touch (maybe the plant starts small and then grows bigger.). The artwork is great so would love to see more of it.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed it! Fun experience and I could see it being easily expanded upon. Great work

Awesome game! Heres my score on my first playthrough ^_^
I thought the art was amazing, music and sounds were great, and it's overall really well thought out.
There's a lot of detail that went into the gameplay, and optimization games are always super hard to get right, it was so perfectly balances because I felt like I was always justttt about to lose but I could hang in there - getting that balance was probably really hard to implement! Also you give the player a lot of options to choose from which I thought made it a really fun challenge. I kept thinking why would I ever slow down my people, but then I realized I could do it to prolong the phase I'm currently in and farm some money before making him grow a step, or collect excess pollen. Very fun!
Yes, sorry, our game is a bit cryptict ^^
You have to manage the plant needs : hunger (by providing chickens) and thirst (by providing water)
When the satiety meter stay 5 seconds on top, the plant grows and also its needs.
The thirst meter needs to be at center to keep the plant healthy and provide the best pollen production.
When the game start, I suggest you by a food transporter (a dog) to rapidly reach level 2 or 3.
Then, you will have to buy more water transporters, augment food transport capacity and buy speed upgrades to tune precisely water providing.
Good luck!
