[[Suggestions/ideas included!]]

This is BY FAR the most fun I've had in a game in a long time, especially when playing with other people. The atmosphere is surprisingly tense and creepy for a game with such a simple premise and cute playable characters.
I adore all the little details added in (like the voice pitch-shifting, getting flushed in the toilet, the love potion etc.) and shows a lot of love and passion went into this game!

There are some issues I've noticed however, like singleplayer is REALLY hard and overly punishing when it comes to death, and starting from the beginning every time seems a bit unfair. I'd like to experiment with how I play but I always end up being overly cautious because I don't want to die and lose everything.
If there was an option (or "easy mode" lol) so you just restarted the level rather than your entire playthrough would be a thoughtful addition to noobs like me.

[[Also I'm not sure if this is intentional but is the Trudge supposed to be able to kill you through a wall? I've died 3 different times this way.]]

There are a couple of things I wish were in the game:
-- More level variety (which is something I see they're working on in their newest announcement! I can't wait!)
-- Health packs (or other health items) being available naturally in the levels to some extent. Doesn't have to be much, just something that can give you 10+HP to help you in a hard level.
-- I wish that the stamina recharge time could be upgraded. Either as its own upgrade or it could be improved as you stacked the regular stamina upgrades.
-- A way to temporarily track a monster while on a map (especially in the harder levels). A tracking drone (with limited energy) you could attach to a monster could be another neat addition to your arsenal.
-- An "extra life" item/upgrade. Could function like being revived at an extraction point/in the truck that leaves you with 1HP, but still gives you a chance to finish the level (especially in single player).

I look forward to seeing what comes next!

I must say that so far this is shaping up to be a fantastic game! I've already spent 6 hours playing and I plan to spend more, though I've already done most of what is available. It's very soothing and nice to be able to perfect the production of your ranch!

I'm not sure how far this game has to go before being finished, but I want to throw in a few suggestions I think may help!

• More slime types! I know you plan to add more anyway, but maybe slimes that will interact with each other in certain ways? The best I can think off the top of my head if a Mouse slime, because of the Tabby slime... *cough* anyway;
(an obligitory "Ice slime" comes to mind as well)

• I'm the type of person that doesn;t mind a more linear game, though whenever I find secret off-shoots along the path I get very excited! I like getting rewarded for my exploring, so maybe more secret areas?

• Perhaps different fauna or flora in the environment? I understand that the premise of the game is that you're on an alien planet with slimes, so maybe more alien environments to explore?

• I like the idea of having water-based slimes in the game, so maybe more slimes of their type and more ways to care for them on your ranch? The "Pond" is incredibly bare-bones at the moment and I'd like to see it expanded.

All in all, a great start! I look forward to seeing this game complete so I can lose more hours to it on my days off. At the moment I'd reccommend buying it if you watched the trailer and thought "This looks like my type of game", cause it most likely is!
If not.. well, wait till it gets finished I guess.
