I liked it! It reminds me other this other game my friend made (also about monkeys and typewriters), but you took it in a completely different direction that I feel is much more interesting, making each monkey type out a possible word, than having all monkeys combined type one word. https://pyrousha.itch.io/infinite-monkey-theorem-real
It did find some parts of the game confusing at first, such as how to piece together quotes. Also, I don't think I could buy the tier 2 upgrades for some reason.
But overall, good job! This is a really good concept executed well.

I played this game for quite a while, and I enjoyed it! You managed to create a simple but fun gameplay loop that can be expanded upon in many different ways. I find the scaling of objects incredibly useful as it helps get out of situations where the player could be softlocked. One of the suggestions I have is to scale the difficulty, because I feel that the 300th meter feels not that much more difficult than the 50th meter. For example, you could have water rising that forces the player to climb quickly and stay above. But I feel there are many different ways to do this, and it really depends on what your vision for the game is. Good job!

Cool game! I think the concept of a petri dish and biology works well with the theme, and the art and the sound is work really well together. The one improvement I can think of is with the nematode. There would be some runs where I would die about 15 seconds into playing due to the nematode instakilling without any warning.. I feel like the nematode should be much slower than it is currently, and there should be some about indicator about the player's proximity to the nematode. But overall, great job!

Thank you for the feedback! In retrospect, I do agree with you that the difficulty curve of the game is unnecessarily steep. Perhaps  We could have put the ending to the game earlier, and set the last few levels as extra challenges which people could take on if they desire. We also could have added more short levels in between to teach isolated concepts better and smooth out the difficulty curve. Good luck in the jam! ♋︎
