How does your game represent "Power"?
The obvious interpretation is that the player is bestowed powers by the gods which helps them grow stronger. And with each unlock, their powers are raised to powers in the mathematical sense

I want to preface this by saying I'm only giving this much feedback because I really really like this game and I think it could be really great.
I finished the game in 39 runs in 62 minutes. I wanted to stop playing way before that, but it is so addicting that I had to finish. That's a good thing. I love this concept and the art style.
Let's talk about why I wanted to stop playing. 2 main reasons:
1. It starts realllllllly slow. Like, it took me at least 15 runs to get past the first two locations. I almost gave up because it seemed like it might take forever to finish the game. Once I got to like 100 health, it stopped feeling so tedious and grindy, and incorporated more strategy and made me want to max out every run. If you can figure out a way to tune those first enemies to get you to that point faster, that would be ideal
2. I wish there was some element that required player input during runs, other than choosing a location. The numbers going up every run felt good, but I also felt like for most of the game I clicked once and waited without a lot of interactivity.
overall, great concept and play on the theme. Infuriating game, I loved it, 11/10.
Very polished, although I was really confused at the beginning and the start of the game was really slow to get going
Was very slow at the start but once you start going its very satisfying. I've never seen a game quite like this one its very unique.
nice one! love that you also went for the "exponential" interpretation. would love to move a little faster as you get stronger, those chickens take a sec, but the growth progression is satisfying
I love idle games but i've never seen one like this before. Definitely leans more towards A Dark Room or Universal Paperclips than like Cookie Clicker or something. UI reminds me of Melvor Idle but I prefer the gameplay in this. It's very to the point and you scale in power very quickly.
Awesome game!
Thanks for the kind words :)
lovely game! I wish my little dude moved a bit faster between fights though, it takes a while to get ramped up to where it is more enjoyable
love the idle nature, getting stronger is fun! these chickens don't stand a chance anymore
early game is a bit slow but overall I had a good time.
