As usual for projects aided by generative AI, the user experience is lacking due to a failure of basic considerations on the part of the human prompting.Clicking is so overloaded I found myself getting motion sickness just trying to click squares. Why? Because when I click, I do not perfectly release the button when I am moving through a grid and clicking. This causes the entire canvas to be dragged while I click each grid. Sometimes that led me to tilling a square, because the grid moved and the next click was the square I just clicked. Then I do that again and I wasted a resource.Would be great if you had hijacked right click, or left dragging to be handled by Ctrl+LMB.The zoom out to the pixel globe was neat. That doesn't make up for the fact that this was painfully frustrating to use. I only cleared a 5x10 area before I couldn't take it anymore.Wood was so hard to come by I never even made it to crafting anything.
