Hey! I just got an email saying this game is gonna get published by Devolver Digital. WOw! Super stoked for you and your team. Goodluck with the release. This game still remains as the one and only itch.io game that's on my desktop while the rest stay in a folder, ha.
How do I start a new game? Also, is there a way to force Windowed mode? This would be an awesome game to chill with while something is playing on the side.
Hey there, you need to click on a region on the map. You can force windowed with CMD line arguments in this version but no other way, I remember there were some comments about it below
Hey, thanks for the reply. I will look at the CMD line arguments and maybe create a BAT file if it works. Also thanks for telling me how to start a new game!
I have to say, the game is super chill and very lovely to look at and play. The concept of progress by re-greening the map is so so rewarding.
I don't know if it's OK to ask for things in the comments here, but I would love to see more detailed artwork when zooming in. The art style is gorgeous, and some more detail when zoomed in will go a very long way to making it even more enjoyable.
Trailer was sick, looking forward to the full game. I do hope there are some new mechanics, would especially be nice to have maybe one time use powers or something that could help you recover from an unwinnable situation. Either way looking forward to the game.
Hello! Just bought the game and enjoyed it. I notice that on my laptop, I can't view... uh. Now that I look, I see there are pan/rotate controls that I didn't notice at all while playing. It might be a good idea to highlight those in the game itself for those of us who don't notice them on this page. I was going to say the game was made harder by my being unable to see the landscape edges!
Mountain is actually impossible to pass, even on Easy. I don't know if I'm just logically illiterate, but there's either not enough trees or currency to spread Fynbos or to contain the bushfire after setting part of it on fire.
Yeah, this level frustrated me. I got to being *almost* there, with 42% completion, everything done but a little more fynbos. But now I'm stuck and have to start over because I basically can't ever undo forest growth and can't put it where I want it. Also, fires don't seem to burn forests, contrary to what the burner's tooltip says.
You can rebuild toxin scrubbers on the ruins after a fire, it makes things much easier, you can limit forest growth and have farmland just next to the trees for fynbos.
(And you can use the trees you planted for beehives too, not just the natural ones, seems obvious but took me a while to figure out).
I keep running into a bug on stage III on the Mountain level. When I place the conveyance ports etc, I'm not getting any currency back. Essentially I'm just depleting my currency until the level is lost, even if I otherwise could have won.
I really liked the gameplay, a very different take on, uh, city building games ? Not sure how to classify this, but the way it makes you think about space is fun. I like the art style, the music was nice and relaxing. I'll be keeping an eye on the 2.0 version, that's for sure.
I do think there is something extremely ironic to be using gigantic metallic structures (that definitely required a lot of deforestation and destruction, etc. to build... ?) to restore the environment. I like playing the game, but it feels really off in how utopic and unrealistic the premise and the message is, but perhaps the problem there is just me.
Picked this up tonight and wow, it's amazing! It's everything I want from this type of game; the style is good, it feels good to play, there's satisfying feedback, and I love restoring plants to an area. Def gonna donate to this project and give you a follow! I hope the best for this project! :D
Amazing game! It triggers the fan of my machine a lot on bigger levels though: It would be great, if visuals like the bloom effect could be deactivated for weaker machines – e.g. with the Unity launcher menu.
I really love the game! I always play it when I want to relax. It is so calming!
I would love it even more if there is a mode where you can't lose. If I have a terrible day, I play this game, and when I lose, it feels even more frustrating than in other games^^'
Great, but you might need a tutorial. I kept putting all my steam plants in one spot and I lost many times before I noticed that I had to put them in different places. Maybe tutorial or I'm dumb. :P
I completed "Mountain" and I believe it was "Coastline" last night. I just launched the game, and now I am back before completing "Mountain". Has anyone else had this issue?
I had a similar issue when I finished mountain. When I launched next, it had put it back to before. But all I had to do was relaunch the level and then go back to the menu and it fixed it.
* On Linux, at the end of the second level I clicked "Exit" instead of "return to the menu". When I launched again it said "go to the mountains" but only the 2nd level was available.
* When clicking "undo" during a fire spreading, some fire stop, some continue and even some depolluted soil replaced the ashes in some cases.
Hi! I found a bug. If you add buildings after the Launch button is ready, then add a drone beacon, you can get the drone to come out and get the game stuck in the "waiting for drone return" state. And the drone won't land, no matter what you undo or redo :/ I was just trying to clean up the last burned building!

So happy to see the trailer for the big release! GOOD LUCK!
Hope you do us a solid and release the commercial version here.
See my post :)
I love it! It's relaxing and strategic at the same time, I finished it in one sitting.
Great game! Love the idea it’s really inspired me to learn how you did it!

Hey! I really like the game, so I decided to mention it on one of my youtube videos!
I keep running into a bug on stage III on the Mountain level. When I place the conveyance ports etc, I'm not getting any currency back. Essentially I'm just depleting my currency until the level is lost, even if I otherwise could have won.
Is there an android version?
Been playing it for days now and I honestly can't wait for the full release soon!
Downloaded for free, played, enjoyed... supported! Amazing, thanks for making. The ecosystem left at rocket launch was spectacular!
Civilization but peaceful
I love it, very original and meaningful. Challenging gameplay too. Thanks a lot
Absolutely incredible. Challenging, fun to play, very beautiful pixel art along with a very interesting gameplay : i had a lot of fun ! Great job.

I remember playing this a few months ago! I adore the art style, hope to see more!

Made a video about your game:

Thank you.
What a delightful little game. I couldn't put it down and spent the whole afternoon playing it. Can't believe my luck to randomly stumble upon this.
Great, but you might need a tutorial. I kept putting all my steam plants in one spot and I lost many times before I noticed that I had to put them in different places. Maybe tutorial or I'm dumb. :P
we need more terraforming map editor and random map gen and then this game will the best puzzle game in the world my rating currently is 9/10
I played through the whole game with a significant difficulty spike on the mountain, which spawned all the trees in one place.
I had almost no difficulty with stage 3 on every level as I didn't use boats and immediately restored the weather system.
I would like a way to easily reset progress so that I can watch the ecosystems reset all over again.
Great game, good mental exercise and relaxing concept & design except for mountain, add a buffer or smth.
I completed "Mountain" and I believe it was "Coastline" last night. I just launched the game, and now I am back before completing "Mountain". Has anyone else had this issue?
I had a similar issue when I finished mountain. When I launched next, it had put it back to before. But all I had to do was relaunch the level and then go back to the menu and it fixed it.
Thx for this super nice game.
I found 2 bugs :
* On Linux, at the end of the second level I clicked "Exit" instead of "return to the menu". When I launched again it said "go to the mountains" but only the 2nd level was available.
* When clicking "undo" during a fire spreading, some fire stop, some continue and even some depolluted soil replaced the ashes in some cases.
Anyway, many thanks for the game.
Windows, Linux and apple but no android? Kinda disappointed..
i love the graphics :oo
beautiful game, can't wait to play more and master every little detail to create the best ecosystems
will it be free forever also great game very nice feeling
Awesome game! The feel is amazing. I like the pace an the ambient it creates when playing it and the pixel art is just fantastic.
