I survived 12 days on my first run! I think a problem I ran into was I needed time to learn how everything worked and by the time I figured it out, problems were already arising. I'd say for a first run, I recovered pretty well and kept it going for a while. I should've prioritized some objects at a higher level in the long run and that screwed me. Keen to dive into my second run! I can see this becoming a fun puzzle to figure out the best "build" for.
edit: i've been sitting here for the last 6 minutes doing other things with the initial screen music still playing and i'm absolutely loving it as bg music
