Pretty cool! I wasn’t able to figure out what task 3 was, “replace tiles”. Also was this inspired by the book/movie The Wild Robot?

Sorry about this! The third task is to place the Rich Soil (brown with white spots) blocks back into the field, or anywhere. It's meant to teach the player that they can put blocks down, but a ton of people are getting confused here, so I'll rework it.

I've never read or seen The Wild Robot but I'll check it out!

Thanks so much for playing and leaving the feedback. Lots of bugs and hurdles. We'll keep releasing more updates.

Stumbled across black heart games through their archaeology game. Found this project. Very interesting!
