I like it! It's definitely my kind of game. I appreciate the extent of the tutorial: just enough to introduce the core mechanics without holding your hand longer than necessary. I suggest running everything through spellcheck :) Other than that, a couple of QoL ideas (not necessary, but could be nice):
- Resource extraction tiles show the number of nearby resources. For example on a woodcutter next to three forests, it says "6/s" and underneath "(3x2)." Then you can, at a glance, see to which level it is upgraded, and perhaps more easily decide which to upgrade to a lumbermill.
- When you want to upgrade something that takes various kinds of resource, it could be nice to see which you have enough of, and which you need more of. You can figure it out yourself of course, but it takes a second.
- Might be good to have a way to restart without refreshing the webpage
More than once, my brain was on autopilot and I accidentally clicked the delete button in the top right, thinking it was an “X” that would just close the tooltip.
Much improved from the first version! Has the makings of a minor classic. Will play some more to see if I have any feedback - so far, only this, that woodcutters are a different color from forests, but stone miners are the same color as mountains. I think all the producers should be visually distinguishable from the resources - even if only in shade.
Sometimes when trying to click upgrades or the trashbin icon, it clicks the hex below. At times I found it almost impossible to delete a thing because it would only ever click the hex below.
Great game! The only problem is that the seeds are random and you can't reset them. Once in a while, you can get kinda softlocked if you end up with a horrible island.

"The gold-colored rocks you found earlier might actually be valuable."
- this is the correct spelling and grammar
"nearby" not nerby
Needs rescaling. It is significantly more difficult to finish the prestige tree than it is to finish the game - it should be the other way around.
Hm just saw the gold cost for the castle...maybe not so easy

Neat little game!

Thanks, I am glad you liked it. A good point, I will think about that
Agreed, maybe you should be able to sail to a new land even if you don't have any points to spend
