Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed review. It really means a lot, especially as this is the first public playtest for Green Horizon.
You've pointed out a lot of useful bugs, UI issues, and quality-of-life improvements that I'll be working through over the coming weeks. It's feedback like this that helps make the game better.
Just to mention, this playtest was running in the browser, so a few things (like timers pausing when changing tabs) are limitations of the browser version rather than how the downloadable version will work.
I'm really glad you enjoyed the gameplay loop, liked the plant growth stages, and are interested in seeing where the greenhouse and the rest of the game go.
Thanks again for playing and for all the feedback. I hope you'll come back and try the next build!
