It was really pleasant to interact with this game. Figuring out how the different tiles work was interesting too.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Like others said the downside is mostly the lack of balance: after 105 days I was nowhere near a shortage of food, and that includes the ~50 days of me discovering the mechanics.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Adding more difficulty and maybe tweaking the hand system for less randomness could have done wonders. Not saying it would be an easy task though - it reminds me of this post about the whole game design history of &quot;Threes!&quot;: http:\/\/asherv.com\/threes\/threemails\/"},{"author_name":"dx0ne","author_uid":"11733","time":"Dec 18, 2015 @ 11:12am","epoch":1450436820,"text":"Cold be fun on mobile with puzzle like levels.\r<br\/>Liked the music."},{"author_name":"BubuIIC","author_uid":"11335","time":"Dec 18, 2015 @ 5:12pm","epoch":1450458420,"text":"Nice game, I like these kind of self-sustaining systems made into games.\r<br\/>Also nice, simple graphics and presentation.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The game could use a little more depth so.
