Update Dec 15 - Bug fixes and balancing: Trees no longer die if planted on a desert that is next to water. Can play Suns on water. Water is more visible at lower health. Reduced Sun probability by 50%. Droughts increase in duration by 2 every drought, up from 1.
The game does not have much of a difficulty curve, I was able to play for longer than seemed appropriate. The style is just awesome, the music blew my mind. You managed to create a really relaxing and unique mood (5/5). Awesome entry. (Played on a Galaxy S5)
An excellent entry in terms of graphics/UI! It was really pleasant to interact with this game. Figuring out how the different tiles work was interesting too.
Like others said the downside is mostly the lack of balance: after 105 days I was nowhere near a shortage of food, and that includes the ~50 days of me discovering the mechanics.
Adding more difficulty and maybe tweaking the hand system for less randomness could have done wonders. Not saying it would be an easy task though - it reminds me of this post about the whole game design history of "Threes!": http://asherv.com/threes/threemails/
This is really interesting, very boardgamey. I'm not sure i fully understand the mechanics of how the terrain evolves over time, nor the advantages of placing terrain yourself (if any), but i really enjoyed myself. Lasted 180 turns until i forgot to keep track of the hunger meter. Nice work!

Liked the music.
Also nice, simple graphics and presentation.
The game could use a little more depth so. There is not much challenge, I played for 10 minutes and nothing much happened.
