    IGN: The price of respawning and flight paths could be deemed a little egregious for some. But the amount of time that it takes to grind means you will find more than enough value in this game. Not to mention, that lower price point up front is just gravy. 10/10.

    Balance suggestion: For the scenery, it could be possible to have a "cohesion level" and a "repetition level" so that putting the same plant gives diminishing rewards and so that you cant just slap together random bits of scenery and calling it a day. So winter themed stuff would have a higher "cohesion level" than if you mixed ice and desert themed stuff. This could be in the form of a score multiplier, so high cohesion would give a high multiplier, and a repetition would give a multiplier

    • @somedude6833

      Also make it so concentrated areas of props have a lower effect on the scenery rating. This could be done to avoid players placing every possible prop in one big square in a corner, but so it still allows a player to place similar props together.

      and y'know, limit the amount of props per region of the map, so you can't just go from version 1 to 5 in the first region with just an auto clicker and one type of prop selected. maybe make the limit high, but not infinite. maybe have a soft limit and a hard limit, in case someone wants to actually spend time designing something nice, but would go over the limit to do so, the hard limit would be tied to servers and nodes and the soft limit would be where diminishing returns start occurring, where nothing new in one region would affect version number or prettiness.

    The lack of gambling loot boxes or any sort of cash shop in this game, made it totally unbelievable and very unrealistic game. Maybe if you release 20 DLCs and patch in the gambling, i might take you seriously, i might even become one of the crowdfund backers that you DON'T have to repay, or even give a product too :D

    I feel it was a missed opportunity to have a Pingu quest giver with a quest to get materials and build a house for the Pingu. Since they are businessmen Pingus it is not like they actually build the houses themselves, that is what hapless adventurers are for. Not to mention getting said adventurers to kill off the competition Pingus.
