Very clever and fun idea! I love the mechanic of having to frequently shift focus between building and attacking the animals. It honestly kept me on my toes, I really enjoyed it.

• The growing trees and rebuilding aspect was done really well. I like how the trees would quickly grow and I had to switch between the different tools to do different things
• The game was very well balanced and I never felt overpowered. The animals were always a threat and I always needed more resources. Well done balancing that.

• I would suggest to spend more time on how attacking the animals work, I often found them spawning right next to me and hitting me before I even realize.
• And maybe more visual indication would have benefited the game. For example a health bar or sprite change when I am hitting the animals or a knock back animation.

Overall very fun idea with lots of potential Great job!
