I was a little unclear on what caused time's up when I was playing? I changed my strategy part way through and tried to just till all the land, then plant, then water, and I lost, but it wasn't clear to me what caused me to run out of time. So maybe you could add something to make that part a bit clearer in-game.\n\nRegardless, the only issue I had with the time running out was that I really enjoyed the mechanic of planting and I wanted to keep planting and watering crops!
