1. Oh my.. whow.. I remember DeathSpank.. I loved this!! For some reason, I had not seen this.. but you are right. You can see our references and thoughts here: https://polyspice.atlassian.net/wiki/external/ZDI4YTM1Y2RlMmNkNDI0NGJjMGU1NzM3MD... This is our reference and inspiration.. moodboards and stuff.
2. Damn, thats annoying - was this in the browser build or the Windows build?
The minigame is an interesting conversation, we had a lot of back and forth on this one. Should it be random or skill based? So, we did a small survey, and the interest was on random - and I do believe that you are right in point 3.. random is a more "phony" approach, where skillbased is more for other platforms like windows. We are moving from phones to Steam, and we made this game with the contraint that it should be playable on the steamdeck.
3. Thank you for this, I will share it with the team, and we will talk about this.
This was great feedback, thank you so much!
