This game is soooo cute! I love how smooth the execution of everything is from the camera to the translucent menus and the mechanics in general.
I just read your dev log and am not sure of whether you'll go on with the game. If you do plan to, I think it's totally worth a paid product on Steam or other platforms, with many of your original ideas + some thoughts:
- Mine should automatically mine the closest crystal(s) without you having to position the cursor on them.
- I feel like there should be a two-turn Petting delay or something like that...
- It'd be nice to have a maximum Praise reminder ("<dog's name> is already enthusiastic!"), haha.
- I feel like the music is out of place, personally...
- What is the point of using Rocks if you can't select a tile to throw them to?
