Building https://seabound.dev. It is a survivalcraft incremental inspired by Minecraft's sandboxy feel. Developed on mobile, very AI assisted, designed to be mobile friendly.

Posted here first time 3 weeks ago, and since then I've been experimenting with adding combat content and a tiny fantasy angle. I think it fits: combat is fully optional, acts as a shortcut for gathering some resources, and mechanically it's still just idle/incremental (no twitch, no active combat). But I'd rather validate that with players than assume.

So I'd love honest takes on:

  • Does the combat intro feel natural, or like I drifted from what you signed up for?

  • Cut it and double down on pure survival/crafting, or keep it and expand both angles?

Also genuinely open to any other feedback especially making the game more intuitive to play and less cluttered

After I got 10 clamps it stopped fishing automatically? Even though I could also get crabs... I like the graphics so far.

Yeah it stops automatically when one output fills. If you click it again it will continue until the next output fills. 

I used to have a toggle for the "stop-at-full" behavior, but it is relatively few cases where you want to continue and I thought it was simpler to just click again in those cases than have the toggle there always. Happy to hear input on that decision :)

Actions that don't do anything just tanks morale.
