Nice concept! The game works well when broken down into the 3 objectives you laid out. I like that it has an environmentally positive message and it fits the theme very well! The visuals are great too, very simple and easy for the player to distinguish what they're looking at.
Of course, it still needs a bit more polish to be a complete game. I noticed you can exploit the resources you pick up by spamming 'e', so I had everything I needed to build the wind turbines very quickly. The prompts for picking up the resources are a little unreliable too, you have to position yourself the right way to get the prompt. Also, when you need to move your mouse and click something, I find that it clashes with the UI a bit. Ideally, you want to freeze the player's ability to look around when browsing an inventory screen for example.
All that said, most of us in this game jam have things to fix and polish up post-jam, so don't sweat it. I think for the week that you had, this is pretty impressive and you should continue to add to it and polish it up. It will make a nice portfolio piece.

Nice game! It was interesting to play and understand. The music (And the robot) was cute but adding some sound effects would probably make it better. Good work!
Thank you for trying out our game submission. I look forward to trying your game too in the coming days.
We experienced an unusual source control issue 1 hour before the deadline and the code I worked on that day, being the sfx for the game. Had to be redone so I was only able to get the music back into the game, the sfx unfortunately was not able to be featured in the submission.
We are looking to finish up the game over the next few weeks however so it can be a portfolio piece we can each be proud of. With the additional art and sfx work that we wanted in the game originally. I did enjoy this game jam. Always an educational experience for me I find.
All the best with your game and look forward to seeing how all the games fair at the end of the ratings period. I shall let you know what I think of your teams game to in a comment. When I can get round to giving it a try :) .
