This was a lot of fun. Looking forward to the full version. Would purchase on steam. I like how it resizes for a pc screen. Kind of like idle slayer but more of an rpg feel to this.

The rapid attack move is just like the freeze in place while knights dash through you and murder you move. I like the equipment upgrades because worthwhile stat boosts plus they look cool and even show up on the character which is a really nice touch. pro tip: maybe don't choose the rapid attack move. Or figure out how to time it to only use it when no knights are nearby.
I also like how the cards stack up to level up so level ups aren't wasted. Always feels like a worthwhile boost or gain.
I was able to get farther thanks to the save feature. Like clockwork every 7.5 levels, 7 to 8 levels, crash. I'd like to see more enemies. Maybe 1 new stronger enemy every 10 levels or something. And just personal preference I wish I could reset the game or minus upgrades if I want to reduce fire rate or lines number. (Some of the later "bullets" look really cool and I want to reduce fire rate to see them better so they don't just blend into a stream overlapping with each other) Fun game overall. Still playing and almost at T50. Just to get to see what the next weapon will look like makes me want to keep playing. Different enemies would add to that even more.
With 43% debt paid and 150 silver per second, chat gpt is telling me that it will take 5 years to pay off the remaining debt. I'm not sure if that is correct but I may not be able to complete this game.
I only need 7 million silver per second to complete the game within an hour. I don't think I'm going to make it.
I've played for 3 to 4 hours now. I can say it's worth the purchase. It's a mostly idle game meaning very little clicking and most of the time you're just watching. But the life simulation visuals are very enjoyable to watch so I don't feel like I need a lot of things to "do" like with some other idlers to make me feel entertained. Prestiges increase the resolution of the sim so it looks nicer and can score more points. (and prestige points can be spent to boost upgrade base levels) The upgrades are worth buying, they make a noticeable impact on how the life sim fares. Worthwhile prestiges, worthwhile upgrades, and overall good at helping one pass the time if you're listening to podcasts or audiobooks etc.
Hopefully you can make sense of what I tried to do in the other reply to your same post I'm replying to now. The formatting is weird with the spacing and I couldn't fix it. Maybe something there will help. And you can see the idea I was trying out like Betsy the Bestiary Sheep... lol Silas the skillfox or Silvio, Skye, see below for them all. Starla the deer. Sta-rla Sta-ts upgrade.

I don't think anyone has said this so far so I want to say it so it doesn't get overlooked. I just want so say how much I appreciate the fast forward button. Especially in lieu of meta progression (which I'm very excited to hear you are planning) successive playthroughs are far more doable thanks to that button.
I'm also of the roguelite>roguelike camp but I guess that's not everyone. Mainly I'm trying to figure out why my shots miss more often than they hit. And I can't tell if clicking on the enemies improves my odds of not missing. Seems like it helps sometimes but might just be random luck.
I got the accuracy buff right after I said that. Now I understand this game. I do like it a lot. I wish it was roguelite though. Adds longevity of playtime to a good game like this for me. I guess it could be an optional mode. Not sure if anyone has done that before but don't know why not.
I'd buy this on steam just with more levels. The explodebot wastes the effort of the drillbots. I'd like him to go off and find his own corner. Game broke at nature level 7 right after I bought the 0.5 second upgrade for the drillbots that requires nature rocks to buy. Not sure if that's what caused the break but the price didn't change so that's supsicious. It's still asking for 500 coal and 5 plants. (but the resources were consumed upon purchase) A little after that purchase the drillbots started one by one until they were all doing this, drilling a spot like normal and then all of a sudden drilling at super speed but never finishing in that same spot. Just stuck there. So I broke everything with the pick. It didn't matter. All tiles are mined but they still look unmined and level does not advance to next level. Bots still jittering in place at super speed.
I played for a couple hours after that. Mostly to completion. It's fun. If you put it on Steam the only suggestion I'd have is a toggleable 30 second timer in the upgrade menu that allows for autoruns or auto start the next day. I think it will get better ratings that way. The blue cats were my favorite. Both of them.
Great game. Love cats coffee and upgrades and this has all of them. I played this game for about 30 minutes before having the slightest clue what was going on because itch.io puts these little floating tags on the screen that were blocking the numbers on the inventory. So the restock system was a complete mystery to me. I'm like why do we have to auto stock to restock every time we go to make a coffee we restock first? Then finally I saw the numbers through the tags. Every game on itch.io has a critical need of a full screen option. (it's the only way to get the tags to go away and stop blocking the screen) I really like your upgrade system because it has a certain type of variety to it that makes upgrade games a lot of fun and not everyone who makes upgrade games gets that.
