OMG, I've finished the game. Love the idea, gameplay, RNG and the art.
I got really lucky. Got 1s lantern without cons. Then got fast greedy repair timer (+3 hull, -1 money every 1s). Unfortunately, it was so greedy I could never buy anything after that. Even the same time that was twice as fast, lol (0.5s).
I wish the timer stopped ticking when the hull is full =)
