Приятная, не душная посидеть пособирать

I've played several "tidy up" games, and this is a good one. The art is beautiful, the classical music is relaxing, and the setting is overall quite serene. There were no bugs that I noticed, and gameplay was smooth. I personally found the progression system to be a little underpowered, so that it does take longer to sort everything than if your sorting skills leveled up more quickly. In particular, not being able to upgrade the number of bottles you can hold at one time really slows things down. Of course, depending on your playstyle, this might be a plus -- it depends on whether you like tidying up to get much faster in the endgame vs whether you like to take your time. Overall, this is a very good and enjoyable game. Some particular small things I think this game did right, where some tidy up games don't: 1) If you happen to notice them, there's a complete set of bottles near the start, which lets you understand bottle placement and how you get skill points. 2) When you look at a bottle, the label text shows up, which lets you quickly scan to see exact;y what type of bottles are near you as you walk, without having to pick each one up. 3) The game automatically saves when you quit. I do think there could be some improvements in game feel and feedback. These are minor, but I do think these could improve the feel of the game. 1) I wish I could use left click to interact and right click to throw, in addition to "e" and "q". Both are standard for tidy up games, and there's no real reason not to allow both. (Although right click zooms instead.) 2) A bottle will highlight yellow if you put it in the right place (shelf and order), but I wish there were a visual and audio feedback for getting it wrong. 3) I'd really prefer more positive "game feel" feedback, like having a speciai audiovisual effect when you complete one shelf and another for the whole shelving unit. Currently, a shelving unit's symbol will highlight green, which seems a bit underwhelming.
