Best game opening ever XD

The writing and humor goes great with the art, and love the different levels you envisioned. The little touches here and there worked really well, like, "turns out gerbils aren't great plumbers."

That said, I...had no idea how to play 😅. I'm not sure if some instructions were clipping out or something, but it wasn't clear if I was trying to make a certain number? Trying to get the largest number? Also, is it meant to be a two player game, but only one player is programmed in now? 

Great job getting something out the door, though! Hope you continue to develop it.  :)

Thanks lol! Sooo basically my second half of development was utter chaos, and I never even finished the game past the first level for this "demo", but I definitely hope to finish it in the future. Yeah, the idea was to get the highest number and I even had a tutorial system plannnned but I never actually finished it. Oh, and yeah, the campaign mode is supposed to be singleplayer, but I never managed to get animations implemented to show what the AI was doing to actually show that the AI was doing something. Overall, this is was definitely a learning experience for me lol
