The Rest action requires you to not be at max energy, but that's a detail which I shortsightedly looked over. A mouseover tip would've been helpful, but since I probably won't work on this game  again, giving more details will probably be something I'll improve on in the future.

Yes, the game is kind of a grind (and other people have pointed this out too), but that's probably yet another bad design decision I made and nothing I can really do now. 

Thanks for playing the game though, I hope it wasn't too bad of an experience.

For the exponential degradation: probably correct, I wanted to keep Experience resets fast, so that is what I ended up doing. It might've been better to use a polynomial formula instead. The 3x should give you more than 2 seconds though, since evasion loss doubles every 30 seconds.

Action speed: also a valid complaint, probably a side-effect of how I implemented it. When I was playtesting I thought it was okay, though I might've overestimated players' clicking tolerance.  I probably should've removed the 3x to work, but it is what it is.

2k energy softcap: I thought it might've incentivized people to use their energy wisely? Though looking back that was probably short-sighted as I originally thought of using it as a mechanic (which I never got to), and in the current state there's really nothing strategic to use it on. The Jars upgrade doesn't influence it at all since the softcap is just a divisor, although maybe the effect of Jars should've been applied after the softcap.

Not related to any of the issues but: thank you for giving detailed feedback. I've seen other games for this jam where people essentially say "this game sucks don't play it", so thank you for taking the time to write a detailed comment. It really helps!!!

I softlocked myself in the first 5 seconds by accidently selling the bike and couldn't afford another one. It would also be helpful to make the UI better, such as describing what each button does?

This is the best game I've seen so far. Loving it!

You can't seem to play this game- the download happens to be a C or C++ file, meaning you have to compile and run it yourself.
