Super fun! Great gameplay loop.

One issue and one nitpick:

1. You can practically softlock yourself if you build too many things (houses, roads) around your starting trees before the game teaches you about the sawmill. Obviously you can always sail to a new island if you ever do it by accident but the game only teaches you how to do that later. My first try I just assumed I was stuck. I like that buildings are permanent, but you might need some safeguarding around that specific scenario in the tutorial. 

2. It got annoying having to hold the button for upgrades when I had a bunch of money to spend, especially as you have to release and repress for each subsequent buy. Consider at least making it much quicker to buy upgrades that are very cheap relative to my total money (i.e. allow me to near instantly purchase a 50 gold upgrade if I have 1000 gold) 

Other than that, will be keeping an eye out for the full release. Congrats on the great demo. 

Super fun! I enjoyed being encouraged to try out different strategies to increase my income. 

My only complaint was the anxiety induced by brain purchases, given that they're extremely limited and you NEED to hit a higher income rate to receive another one. It feels really bad if you made a poor decision early on and now can't buy a clearly superior upgrade to progress to the next brain. Even if you can't actually softlock yourself, the thought alone that I had was concerning. (I suppose some kind of prestige system would fix this, though!)

Fun little game. My biggest issue is that it seems too easy to keep axe damage high enough to chop down the current level of tree in one hit, which made the critical and multi-hits seem useless. 

You're the weirdo >:(

Currently playing through and enjoying it so far. I was a little confused when I unlocked the nutrient automation that cost 500 (Can't remember the name) as it gave me an on/off switch similar to the Aquifer Tapper,  but this then disappeared when I unlocked the Nuclear Ice Melter.

This is probably the best fan remake I've ever played. I can't really give enough praise for this, on both a technical level and just the sheer amount of love for this old game radiating from every part of its production. 

This isn't just a remake - though all the classic LRR content is there. It's more akin to an expansion or even sequel. If you've come looking for a convenient way to play an old game on a modern PC (as I was) then prepare to have your socks blown off. Personally, I would've been happy with a somewhat janky reimplementation that was hacked together that mostly worked, but this is so, so, so much more. 

I could probably spend hours listing off all the new and improved features of this remake, but I won't. In short, this isn't just a simple fan project. It's a fully-featured, polished and expanded package that, if it were officially sold as a remake/remaster, I would be incredibly impressed by the quality. 

Props to Baraklava and any other contributors. My only hope now is that you don't suffer too much from success and see Lego come spoil the fun.
