Thank you for the great feedback!

Yeah, this is a very long idler that follows the cycle of a Pomodoro timer for productivity. (25 min working, 5 min break, repeated).

The quest system features were newly introduced this month. It is essentially a 'TO DO' list that the player creates themself and they work on those tasks while the game idles in the background.

The placing blocks issue isn't good. Did you have Mana while trying to place? Were you able to place the cauldron in the tutorial? To gain Mana back (maximum of 5) players will need to set a quest (a personal goal/task) to active and wait while Mana refills.

With that knowledge I gave it another try. It makes more sense now. I guess I some how missed part in tutorial where it spoke about 25 minutes. It's nice to have little mage in corner as reminder of your tasks, but I would recommend to add some audio feedback to make it more fun, and work as a reminder.

I guess I just had no mana, the blocks seems to work fine.

some blocks like scroll are blue but they quickly gain their colour is that a bug?

knowledge is not spent? I placed watch and scroll and lost no knowledge, only mana.

I had a problem with cauldron, I managed place it but after some time game crashed, and when I played again I couldn't place it, it was just appearing inside the mage. Any way I deleted save and tried again, it was working fine. I even restarted game to see if it works, and did. But after I tried to check one more time progress was lost and cauldron was again appearing inside the mage.

Thank you for trying again :) I've got my plan set for my next sprint.

The blue to coloured is a temp animation for the blocks being built. Building 5 of these will take 5 minutes and this is your 5 minute break in the Pomodoro cycle.

Knowledge isn't spent, only gained and is a threshold for blocks to be unlocked.

The Study Buddy is currently broken. I recently increased the placement resolution of the block and it caused it to break. I will hopefully get to this during the next sprint.
