WeatherFarmer - manual review 3
Round 3 re-tests what failed in round 2 and the tests you did not reach. About 30 fixes were built: spawns, joystick, tap-to-go, descriptions, drag-to-build fences, Kitchen power-ups, new art and the cockroach. The bigger map, 3-tile yard and unlocks are NOT in this round; they wait for your OK on the tower-defense design.

T01 · WORKER-03, WORKER-04
Tutorial 1
The tutorial ends with a builder on auto-farm
Same as before: the last tutorial beat says to tap a builder, then AUTO-FARM. The builder gets a straw-hat badge and farms by himself. Nothing new to learn here: tell me if the tutorial still feels too crammed up to this point.
re-test of T06 (round 2, FAIL)
- CLAUDE INSTALLS: a fresh install of the latest build, no seed
- Play the tutorial from the title screen to the auto-farm step
- Wait 30 seconds without touching anything
T02 · TUT-04, RHYTHM-04
Tutorial 2
The frog and the Rain Dance lesson
The Rain Dance lesson is NOT changed on purpose (you said 'leave it alone'). It should still lead you to the rain circle and play a short dance. Tell me in the comment if it still feels too fast or too forced.
re-test of T07 (round 2, FAIL)
- Continue from T01
- Follow the frog to the rain circle
- Play the short dance, then read the Lightning lesson
T03 · TUT-09, TUT-05
Tutorial 3
Rose shows MOVE and REMOVE together
On the next invasion Rose gives you incense and teaches building. She now says ONE line, 'Hold anything you built - here are MOVE and REMOVE', with both buttons lit at the same time. You are NOT forced to press either. The free beehive and apiary are no longer given here.
re-test of T09 (round 2, FAIL)
- Continue from T02
- Keep farming until the next invasion warning (a few minutes)
- Follow Rose's lines; do not press MOVE or REMOVE
T04 · TUT-10
Tutorial 3
The beehive lesson comes later, after wave 6
After you survive wave 6, Rose shows a gold exclamation badge. Tap her and pick the bees topic: she teaches the beehive and apiary and gives you a free beehive and apiary. Before wave 6 nobody mentions bees.
re-test of T09 (round 2, FAIL)
- CLAUDE SEEDS: python3 .claude/scripts/seed_save.py --verify --skip-tutorial --set waveNumber=6 (tutorial done, wave 6)
- Look for the gold badge over Rose
- Tap Rose, then the bees topic; then open BUILD > Defences
T05 · CAM-02
Controls
A finger on the joystick never moves the camera
Pan or pinch the camera with one finger, then touch the joystick with another. The camera does not move, jump or zoom because of the joystick finger. The whole farm still fits at the start and pinch zoom is smooth.
re-test of T13 (round 2, FAIL)
- CLAUDE SEEDS: python3 .claude/scripts/seed_save.py --verify --skip-tutorial --set coins=1000
- Drag one finger on the farm to pan the camera
- While panning, touch the joystick with a second finger; also try during a pinch
T06 · HUD-03
HUD
The coin, gem and honey plates are fully on screen
On your Pixel the three plates in the top left sit fully inside the screen. Nothing is cut off by the rounded corner or camera hole.
re-test of T14 (round 2, PASS - changed by HUD-03)
- Continue from T05
- Look at the top left corner
T07 · WALK-01
Controls
The farmer walks through fences, walls and small things
Your farmer walks straight through fences, walls, traps, trenches, scarecrows and decor. Only big buildings (house, barn, windmill, greenhouse) stop him. Bugs still treat fences and walls as walls.
re-test of T24 (round 2, FAIL)
- CLAUDE SEEDS: python3 .claude/scripts/seed_save.py --verify --skip-tutorial --set coins=5000 (fences and a small building will be placed for you)
- Walk the farmer through a fence line
- Walk him at the house or barn
T08 · SPAWN-01
Invasions
Bugs spawn at the forest edge, never inside the farm
On wave 5 and wave 12 the bugs appear at the dark forest edge (left, right, bottom) and walk in. None appear inside the farmland, and none right at the gate at the bottom.
re-test of T37 (round 2, FAIL)
- CLAUDE SEEDS: python3 .claude/scripts/seed_save.py --verify --skip-tutorial --set waveNumber=4 --set lightningOn=false (the 5th wave is next)
- Wait for the warning banner to end
- Watch where the bugs appear; repeat on wave 12 if you can (tester wave jump)
T09 · SOUND-03
Invasions
You can hear the bugs eating
When bugs eat a crop you hear a soft munch. It is gentle, but you can hear it over the music on your phone speaker.
re-test of T37 (round 2, FAIL)
- Continue from T08, phone volume up
- Let a few bugs reach the crops
- Listen
T10 · WORKER-04
Builders
Idle builders get out of the way and replant eaten crops
A builder with nothing to do steps off the path and waits at the side, not in your way. A builder on auto-farm goes back and replants plots that the bugs ate.
re-test of T06 (round 2, FAIL)
- CLAUDE SEEDS: python3 .claude/scripts/seed_save.py --verify --skip-tutorial --set coins=5000 --set waveNumber=4 --set lightningOn=false
- Hire a builder and turn on AUTO-FARM
- Let the bugs eat some crops, then watch the builder
T11 · ART-14
Art
A few trees sway gently
About one tree in ten leans slowly and slightly. Most trees stand still. It is calm, not a psychedelic trip.
re-test of T17 (round 2, PASS - changed by ART-14)
- CLAUDE SEEDS: python3 .claude/scripts/seed_save.py --verify --skip-tutorial
- Zoom out to see the forest
- Watch the trees for 20 seconds
T12 · DESC-01
BUILD
Every BUILD item has a tap-to-open description
On every BUILD tab, tap an item's name or the (i): a card drops down with a short exciting pitch, small icons for its effects, and the price or unlock note. BUY still buys. No item is missing a description.
re-test of T24 (round 2, FAIL)
- CLAUDE SEEDS: python3 .claude/scripts/seed_save.py --verify --skip-tutorial --set coins=5000
- BUILD > Defences, tap the info on the Beehive
- Check the Buildings and Decor tabs too
T13 · BUILD-03
BUILD
Drag to build a fence line, with the price
Pick Fence, press on a cell and drag along the grass: a straight line of fences appears, joins up by itself, and a price follows your finger ('12 fences - 120 coins'). Lift the finger: one check and one X for the whole line. The check pays once. Walls work the same way.
re-test of T19 (round 2, FAIL)
- Continue from T12
- BUILD > Defences > Fence
- Press and drag a line, then lift your finger and tap the check
T14 · BUILD-03
BUILD
The check and X sit above the thing you place
For every item you place, the check and the X are ABOVE it, never beside it, so they do not cover the cells you are aiming at.
re-test of T19 (round 2, FAIL)
- Continue from T13
- BUILD > pick any item
- Tap a cell and look where the check and X are
T15 · PLACE-01
BUILD
A refused placement tells you why
Tap a cell where the item cannot go: the ghost turns red and a short line says why, for example 'Scarecrows go between your crops'.
re-test of T24 (round 2, FAIL)
- Continue from T14
- BUILD > Defences > Scarecrow
- Tap a cell on the grass far from the crops
T16 · WALL-02, WALL-04
Defences
Fences join into lines; cobblestone and brick walls
Fence pieces join: straights, corners, T joins, ends. Cobblestone (400) is grey, brick (800) is red. KNOWN, NOT FIXED YET: brick is still available from day one. Unlocking better walls through a tech tree waits for your OK on the tower-defense design.
re-test of T21 (round 2, FAIL)
- Continue from T15
- Place fences in an L shape
- Place a short cobblestone line and a brick line
T17 · ART-10
Defences
The water trench is a simple trench with water
Three trench pieces in a row look like one plain dug channel with blue water in it. Nothing fancy. (The picture may show the old art; the text is the target.) Note: the straight and corner pieces are still the old ones - their new versions failed the factory's art checks (one did not cut out cleanly, one failed the 'straight channel' test); the end, post and T pieces are new.
re-test of T23 (round 2, FAIL)
- Continue from T16
- BUILD > Defences > Water Trench
- Place three pieces in a row, zoom in a little
T18 · ART-12
Builders
The builder hammers the building properly
A builder stands BESIDE the scaffold, facing it, and swings a hammer up and down with a small spark on each hit. It does not look like he is humping the building. (The picture may show the old animation.)

T19 · DESC-02
Defences
The frog pond, bird house and dog show what they do
The frog pond flicks a tongue at a bug in range. The bird house sends out a bird that dives at a bug. The dog chases bugs. Each description in BUILD says so.

T20 · APIARY-02
Defences
One apiary feeds the 3 nearest hives
Place an apiary near hives: it links itself to the 3 nearest hives within 5 cells, no CONNECT needed. Pink bees fly to each. A fourth hive is left for another apiary. CONNECT still lets you change it.
re-test of T25 (round 2, FAIL)
