Really enjoyed this one.  I found it to be well balanced, and the choices offered within the shop and during the game really force you to think strategically and work with the hand you've been dealt, especially towards the end of the run.

The only additions I'd suggest would be a different background image for each level, to make it feel like you're really getting deeper towards the core.

And also the sound that plays when you visit the shop is absolutely ear-grating and made my cats dart across the room in a panic. Other than that; great little playdate game! And definitely one I'll be returning to, hoping to see a future catalog release one day.

I just stumbled across this genuinely fantastic little gameboy game, and I have to say it really blew me away, especially for a game made in only 9 days! 

Spent an hour or so completing it on actual hardware and it was a delight from start to finish, the first thing that struck me was the beautiful art, then the gorgeous music (boss music was a standout), not to mention the hilarious writing that took unexpected turns which had me laughing out loud a few times.

The mechanics themselves felt polished and really well-balanced, I like my rpgs on the harder side so I can understand how it wouldn't be for everyone, but I very much enjoyed grinding out a few battles and min/maxing my goo spendature throughout to always have max goo before the final battles (which was definitely overkill I realised in hindsight lmao, didn't affect my enjoyment whatsoever as that was on me) 

Anyway, stellar job, definitely a permanent fixture of my gb library!!!

Tl;dr it made me laugh n feel things so Good Game 5/5
