Really great job! I've really enjoyed playing this game - I felt the rush from the countdown but at the same time the weights generation was so balanced I felt like a last save was always possible, GG

That way way more fun then I've expected =) I kept feeling like I don't have enough of smaller weights , but somehow tit all worked out in the end and I just kept going.  Nice work on listing all the assets used =)

Developer

Thanks for playing our game! The weight generation is something I'm quite proud of, due to a noticable chunk of my time being spent on making it not too hard, interesting to play and not impossible to profit, so I'm very happy seeing your positive feedback on it!

really enjoyed the gameplay and the music but it took me a long time to realize i could put the weight in the spice side

Thank you, Mr. Cheese. This is really not an obvious mechanic, so we found a way to solve the problem (you can see the header of the game page).

Mark also fell into this trap. Thanks for trying to explain it to him in the chat too, we appreciate it, Mr. Cheese!
