Needs a LOT of work

I see great potential in this world creation game, but it needs a lot of work.

First off is the menu system. I don't like having to click through several menus when you have enough screen space to have them all neatly to one side for me to click on at my leasure. Furthermore, I sometimes can never see the options I want because of how it is cut off thanks to the map.

Second, the instructions are hard to read and even harder to understand. The only thing I got out of it is that I'm suppose to be be building a world.

Lastly, the whole Mana system doesn't seem to benifit the player any. It says it does, but there's no visible evidence to that.

Work on it some more. A lot more.

okay

the music was good, but i didnt really see what the point of it was, whatd we have to do? There was also some glitches in it. When you clicked on the land to the right side of your world you couldnt really see the command box thingy. You might need to fix that. If i knew what the point to this was it mightve been better.

Good engine, but shoddy navigation cripples you.

The menus in this game are atrocious, especially considering the game requires you to use them about 80% of the time. They are hard to click on, and have 3 subcategories. While this might not seem that bad, try doing that a couple hundred times.

Another problem is you have to go through the menu for every single tile. The menu problem could have been negigated to about 1/4. Change the engine to let you go through the menu once and apply the same thing to multiple tiles, considering a bunch of grass could be done in 1 menu switch, in comparison to changing 30 tiles individually.

Also, the game lacks challenge, other then the menu navigation.

Menu gets cut off

When I click in areas on the right of the landscape, I can't use the menu properly because it gets cut off.
Also, clicking that thin little arrow on the menu gets annoying. It should be a full-sized button.
