Community Insight:
Its difficult to get invested in the game when there are no characters of color to choose from.
Our friends and we love drinking Mate. When we saw this game it was a no-brainer we knew we had to get it. We love the concept of it and how there are no ads or in game purchases its just a game to play. There are a couple bugs and little things Ive noticed, but the game is still pretty awesome. Keep up the great work.
Okay so we love this game. Its challenging in a way you wouldnt expect and actually keeps you entertained. However, we feel since you can research everything fairly early on and once you get pretty far its feels so repetitive with only Yerba making left to do. We would love if there was side products . Like add a croissant or fruit bowl for extra hype plus you should be able to pick the food and they can boost the Yerba rating. Just a thought but really great job.
