Loved the game, really looking forward to you working on the differences of the minerals as I love to min and max!!

Thank you for taking the time to play my game! I'm definitely going to continue working on it whether I progress or not--at least to fulfill the potential I saw in it.

Thank you for posting such detailed feedback! That kind of player feedback is absolutely something I want to add in the future. It's great to get comments like these because they help me actually improve and polish this idea to be the best it can be. Even if it's a simple concept, I want to do everything I can with it to push my skills as far as possible.
Thank you for the feedback! I hear you on the not being able to see well. I had it force fullscreen on itch at first, but I decided it was better presentation wise if it stayed on the decorated page. However, I will absolutely add a fullscreen mode. As someone with deteriorating vision, accessibility is very important to me.

Thank you for the critical feedback! The economy is definitely something I wish I'd spent more time testing and tweaking. Will definitely be doing that in the future.

Thank you! I did so much research for this jam. XD I wish I'd been able to represent it a bit better. I'm hoping I can update it so it's more clear that the minerals are being freed for use by the trees and traveling through a network to the tree roots. For now it had to stay abstract.
Yeah, the option to buy more energy was a rushed add I didn't get much time to think about design wise. I'm going to consider the energy budget and economy going forward. I basically didn't want players to be locked out of succeeding, so I figured paying for a bit more energy to finish off a tree might help.
Thank you! Yes, I want to have a sound cue and maybe a text cue when the player is out of energy for the day and tries to click. I also intended for the minerals to have different effects, but ran out of time. :( Next round, hopefully!
Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to play my game!

Thank you! That was planned, but I ran out of time, unfortunately. :( Hoping to add it if I make it through to the next round and it makes sense to keep developing this one.
Thank you! I'm hoping the theme will allow me to develop it further--assuming I make it through.
The biggest thing was that I planned for each mineral to have a different effect. I also planned for you to be able to hire mushroom workers who would automatically gather some minerals or do some other task each day. And I wanted to have daily modifiers, so one day maybe calcium would give you 2x the sugar or only phosphorous would spawn.
Thank you so much for taking the time to play and leave a comment! Yeah, I had the mechanics for the different ore designed, which also would have made the game a bit more dynamic. I also planned to have mushroom workers you could hire for automation. Already had the animated sprites and everything. Ah well... next time!
Thank you for taking the time to play and give critical feedback! I really appreciate it. It helps me know how to improve the game.
I agree with you completely. I'd designed different mechanics for each ore to make them unique. I like the idea of different colors for the trees, too! I'm conflicted on days passing automatically. It's definitely annoying to press the button, but I wanted to make sure the player was aware of what was happening. I could potentially have a sound cue play and a brief wait before the day passes, so you know to expect it without having to hit a button.
Also, I planned to add modifiers based on the day that would have made the gameplay more dynamic. So one day, you'd get more minerals from calcium nodes or their effect on trees would be greater, etc.
