Right up my alley

From the art work to the gameplay this game is worth it. It falls into the pay to better your experience, but it does not impede on the game once so ever. Furthermore, the best part is the message of helping the environment. That’s what sets it apart to other strategy games out there. Just some quick comments, one maybe have a option to research links or conversation. Maybe even some live like “hey, this livestream is happening hear on something, go check it out!” Really will show the care and want to prove that message. Overall add another type of gameplay instead on the macro/world level go micro into a region. Then specifically bring up problems there. Though I really loved the cute and simple art style from earlier iterations and would love to get a setting turning the map into that. Although, if this is for the best who am I to judge. That’s my two sense and long story short this is great so play it!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your feedback and great idea! We also liked the earliest design of the map. We will think about your proposal and perhaps such an opportunity will arise in the future.

Nerf hard mode

I’ve been trying to beat hard mode without watching ads, and it’s just impossible. First, you have to keep one continent alive long enough to begin solving causes. This will take about 4 years because every continent will be dead in 1 year, causing an insane race against the clock. Then once some continents are alive, you need to put down all the evil events, like wildfires and trawlers and poachers. If you’re unlucky, they’ll hit all your living continents and cause a game over. Because as soon as they show up, the continent dies. If you can make it past that point, if you have every single icon in the social tab, then and only then can you begin to think about victory. But you’ll never get there. Because of fresh water. My game has been going for 30 years, I have bought everything I can. And still the freshwater quality is going down. Every continent can fall simultaneously if one quality dips below 0. The only reason I’m still going is because reloading the game causes all areas to trend up (like they’re supposed to). On top of the fact that a single event can destroy a continent instantly even if my volunteers are present. It is impossible to win. The freshwater quality never goes above 14%.
If I can’t win with every single upgrade, then it doesn’t matter how many ads I watch. I will never win. Please nerf hard mode

Five Stars but needs Difficulty Tweaks

Giving this 5 stars because it’s beautifully designed, fun, and I learned a lot!!

However, it definitely needs some tweaks on the difficulty settings. Easy and medium levels are too easy, and Hard level seems to be impossible to beat unless you watch the video for the +20 points.

I think the issue is that once you get into the tailspin for a continent, any actions you take have very little effect. While that may be true to life, in a game you always need to be able to affect the outcome. Example- no amount of animal initiatives will make Africa’s animal indicator improve if other continents are in a bad state. On Hard setting, you don’t have enough points to prevent continents from going into a tailspin, unless you watch the video for +20 points.
