After having finished the game I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised at how fulfilling it was to finish each level. Great job, looking forward to episode 2.
I think you should reconsider 1-X; so much of nothing happens during the majority of intro causing mistakes to be that much more annoying and off-putting for the start of a game. Whereas 2-X is fun right from the start and is overall more enjoyable.
Getting three stars on a level is just tedious, even a single point of damage loses your ability to earn it; perhaps make it a certain percentage (under 10% damage taken) so upgrading your ship wouldn't be pointless.
Not sure if it's intended or if it even affects other people other than myself, but the micromanagement bar is really jerky and tends to jump forward making it easy to lose managers. Kinda hope the red bar progresses more smoothly in the future.
Hopefully when the new UI comes out there will be a "total cash earned per second" display. I realize I can just add, but why do that if I could just buy a function to do it for me?
The hired employee feels counter productive for the reason that you don't know which customer's order it carries before you take the order. With other more frequent customers, you can at least get started on their pasta type if you remember their usual order.
An interactive TD that doesn't require you to sit and stare at mind-numbing waves, with the occasional upgrade here and there. Not so unique spell system; but hey, it works for a game like this. 4/5.
Fun game that'll last you a while for sure. Though it did need some improvements. First off, the shop, it'd be nice if it told you how much everything costs instead of saying "You cannot afford this". The gameplay seemed sluggish during the first few adventures and the beginner spells were quite useless, (not a complaint really, just felt they weren't needed, or could be replaced with another offensive skill or two). The difficulty curve was excellent and proved to be quite challenging. Kinda wished for a store where you can buy armor or weapons, but other than that great game. 4/5
