This was cute and lovely! I really enjoyed the sound design and tinkering with my solutions to get utterly absurd paths and results. Each time I sent the cows out, it was a treat to watch them go.
A few critiques:
- The portal colors can be very similar for certain people. I recommend giving them different shapes (inner or otherwise) to help people with vision disabilities differentiate between them.
- The lack of a tutorial might be fine, but I think one with the basic concepts would go a long way in terms of building player faith in the system early on.
- Tooltips (doesn't have to necessarily be next to the mouse) would be very helpful in explaining the various land types, or buttons.
- The game speed resets between levels. It would be nice if it remembered my previous selection.
- A breakdown for the star breakpoint values would be nice.
- There was a small hitch when the milk full animation played for the first time.
- A previous round breakdown (milk and income) would be nice
- Sometimes the result of a placement didn't have the expected result I had in my head. This is largely not really an issue due to the visible path, but it did give me a little pause and wonder about it a few times.
