Fun! Also funny because I've gotten into container ponds, medaka (Japanese ricefish), daphnia/moina and other microfauna over the last 2 months. It's an interesting hobby. The biggest thing I've noticed is how much local bees need a water source.

If you like honey, water sources is one of a few things that might disconcert you.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Game probably needs some way of making the player feel more invested in the game. Maybe you can only place so many particles per day, and then you have to wait until the next day. Or you can pay to get more particles now. If you could pay for some bonus materials that would be great too. Though I'd rather unlock them randomly from a kind of loot box system. And how come I can't level up? I don't feel like I'm making…

I hope this is sarcasm. Not everything needs to be a fully developed game. Sometimes people make things for gasp the fun of it and not to build a comprehensive game that will appeal to everyone and their demanding cousins.

Still would love to see some graphs of the populations and maybe also nitrogen.
