Thanks for playing and for the feedback! I am always considering new features and ways to extend the game, so thank you for the ideas. I don't really have a solid plan beyond this coming update currently, but you should expect your QoL suggestion to make it into 1.7!
Thanks!
Just an Idea for longer progression:
Ascension (or higher prestige) can give 1 mystic damsel or 1 blue heart. On shop, mana pool size or mana rate upgrades could be bought permanently for 1 blue heart and reduce region could be bought for 3 or more blue hearts.
This could be something relevant to extend gameplay for many ascensions and is a way to use already implemented features.
