It's a good game, but there are a few bugs/oversights: When you have more than 31 diece the multipliers for some of them go off screen, when you have too much damage than you might do 0 damage, health can go off screen.

I definitely understand the review fatigue thing, especially if you're writing them this in depth, don't worry about it! Thank you so much for all the feedback too - I definitely agree with the map feature as well, sometimes backtracking took a while, and when playtesting it was sometimes fun to just look at the Unity scene view and see how far I'd come by zooming out, so it would've been a great feature to be able to see that in game. As for the rest, though, I'm very glad you enjoyed it - particularly the grind, I was a little worried in development that having to build up to the next level would take too long, so it's nice to know it didn't get boring! - and I'm very grateful for all the feedback, thank you!

It's great to see that you like exponential growth too, I'll have to check your game out! Also, I'm glad you liked the power spikes too - initially they were way feebler, with the snakes only at 600hp, but that quickly became way too easy in testing, and the idea of massive power spikes and lots of zeroes was pretty appealing too. And I'm glad the endless dungeon exploration was appreciated as well, it was definitely easier than making something by hand! Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks! Actually, initially, the enemies left you alone because I couldn't muster up the effort to implement something like A* pathfinding for them to follow you, but as it turns out it wouldn't have been fun at all to be constantly chased by high-level enemies, so it turned out alright the way it did. And it's great to hear that you enjoyed just playing about with the game - I always love games where it's fun to just press buttons and move about, so I'm glad I did something like that with this game! Thanks for the feedback!
I loved the super-high damage numbers too, I'm glad you felt the same! Initially I think I underestimated how massive a few multipliers could get, but then realised that actually I liked the numbers so big you couldn't figure out if they were in the millions, billions or trillions, so just rolled with it. And I guess it paid off, so I'm glad you liked it!

Aha, that's certainly impressive! And, actually, adding in-game places to buy things was planned, but unfortunately that was too ambitious of an idea, especially considering how quickly you became massively rich. It would've been cool if well balanced, though, like you said! Well done on getting so far in the game, and thank you for playing!

I'm so glad you liked the squigglevision too; that helps to justify the concerning amount of time I spent on that! One day I'll figure out how to automate it and add hundreds of hours to my life in the process. Thanks for the comment!
