Judge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous.
- Readability, UI and tutorialisation lacking to the point that learning the mechanics feels impossible, or at the very least, much too time consuming to stay engaged. Music is nice, but without a story or characters the gameplay needs to push the player forward better than it does to keep focus.

Tell us about your game!
The player starts as a small slime mold but time is of the essence! If you don’t grow and gather what you need, you will dry out and die. Each turn you can use your resources to make choices best to maximize your survivability. You can use resources to expand to a nearby space or use resources to upgrade your slime mold. The spaces your slime mold is on has resources you can then drain to keep your slime mold sustained. But as you grow, you will need more and more sustenance to survive so balance is key. The ultimate goal is to reach all of the goal hexes before running out of moisture and drying out. If you make it, you will go to the next level which will be harder than the previous. Try to make it as far as you can!

Looks fantastic and loved the concept. Fits the theme well and is really original. Only challenges I had were that goal hexes didn't highlight on my playthrough and it was hard to know when I needed to prioritize moisture as I couldn't see the resources remaining on the tiles I had already covered. It's also possible I didn't fully understand the instructions.
Thanks for taking the time to play and the kind words. We definitely wish we had made a way to see remaining resources on occupied hexes. Sounds like you did have a good understanding of the game for sure.
