I’m managed to progress but I’m still not sure how it happened. As other have mentioned, the notify sound can be too much (in part because I’m not good so lots of issue happen at once). Conceptually, I really like it, it’s like micro managing-lite. Would be interested to try this with a tutorial.

Thanks for trying it out!   Yes, the audio was a misstep (volume should have been lowered and an option to disable entirely.)
Didn't manage to make it as clear as desired what was going on.  Thanks for the feedback

The micromanagement of the little people was fun.  I played all the way thru to Earth.  I think it fit well with the theme because I had to continuously click all the things that were going wrong.  ha!  Great job and thanks for the game.

Interesting idea! I really like how chaotic everything is, fits very well for the theme! This game was really fun, good job!

I really like the idea and it fits well with the theme.

Personally I liked the audio but this cli sound was pretty hard on my ears. Did I miss the option to disable it? You could toggle the music but that didn’t affect sound effects.

I too was a little lost at first, but figured it out on the fly.(no pun intended!) In my opinion the little hint in the menu was still enough though.

Overall great game!

Developer

Thanks!

You're right, I should have included an option to disable the sound-effects also.  (And probably should have lowered the volume even more on that click.)

Yeah, it's a bit opaque unfortunately, just ran out of time to include tutorial / help screen / hinting.

Definitely hit the theme, and the audio wasn't too bad. I could see this being really addicting, although a tutorial would help, was a little confused at first.

I like that you didn’t use unity to make your game! I don’t really enjoy this type of games! It looks like you put a loot of work into it. Keep up the good work then!

Thanks for giving it a try!  Everybody's got their own preferences : -)
