Clever idea to make a puzzle game like a roguelite!  I never play puzzle games but I do play roguelites, so that's my background.  Here's my thoughts:

• Audio sounds great for the most part, satisfying crackle and break sounds with good pitch variance
• Appreciate the highlight around a group of wood to help utter newbies like me realize that's something you want
• Offering new abilities on a match 3-type of game is cool, never seen that before.  That said, I never play match 3 games, so I wouldn't know :)
• UI looks good for the most part for a prototype!

Critiques:

• I played the whole first round without realizing I had to click twice to actually break a brick.  Again, I never play games like this, so that's probably utterly my own fault
• I didn't really know what I was doing while playing, I couldn't tell what I was doing right or wrong with getting points or score.  I was guessing I need to get wood in alignment, and jewels are supposed to wind up at the bottom, so I was doing that, but it wasn't clear if I was getting points for that.  More visual feedback for what specifically I did right would probably help
• Audio sound of coin gets a bit much at the end of the round when you hear a lot in a short time, a less sharp (and more short?) sound would be ideal
• I hit a bug where I couldn't click anything after the final round, needed restart
• The UI dialogs that pop up feel too big for desktop size screens
• Why does the announcer urge me to hurry up, if there's no time element? Lol
• Bug:  The number 2 stayed on screen after I think having a miner on my screen, happened again with I believe another miner
• The camera shake feels a bit too fast or too far spatially since it happens so often
• I can't understand how to make a powerplant - the example image says 3 adjacent wood, but no adjacent wood was in the example picture

Hope that helps!  Feels quite solid mechanically for a prototype!
