I enjoyed the rogue-like elements, but I found that I quickly became utterly unstoppable by putting points in max HP and Power, haha.  I wanted to keep going!

Love the art style and game concept where you manage between upgrades and heal

Love the variations! I got to the point where I got very powerful indeed, it felt good!

Haha yeah, it can get out of control the longer you play. You basically become a behemoth. Definitely going to tone it down a little after the jam. Really glad you enjoyed it.

Really Relaxing gameplay. The upgrades feel satisfying.

The randomness is done well and the core gameplay is solid, great job!

I could choose the music in a menu, but it cycled before I knew it. Would be better if it was shuffled and changing during the game. Overall, it's nice complete game

Ok for a while I didn't realize that I'm not supposed to move the character and it's more of a resource managing and upgrading game but that's my fault rly. After that I had a lot of fun and genuinely could see myself putting a lot of time into this game if you built on it more

i could sit and listen to the music for hours — possibly even without clicking anything more! mash enough purchases and the game becomes a jukebox for a nice atmosphere

Tell me about it! The songs are from Joel Steudler's "Retro Future Music Pack".  They bring a real vibe to the project.

I spent more than half an hour hoping to see an end and I enjoyed it for the whole time
It looks like a complete mini-game
I love it!

haha glad you enjoyed it. an ending is something that unfortunately got scrapped in the mad rush to get something relatively stable. after the jam I'd like to add an ending and adjust the difficulty so that the challenge scales better with level.

The hype all the texts create keeps you attached to it, maybe the idea of not having an end it's not that bad

Very innovative game. Great job!
