Hey !

Great art, beautiful game,

- Really need to add a wait to remove the sound from the game, you can't access option in-game, I get the sound of poop is "funny" but since the music is bad (no offense) it's just random poop sound sometimes that are more disgusting than anything, I had to reset my run to remove the sound.

- Explanation on what upgrades does, what stat does, I really don't know what I should max, or focus, since the early is long (and it's fine) I really don't want to invest time in the game if I don't know what I'm doing.

- Talking about the early, except spamming fries annoyingly there is not much to do, really frustrating for an incremental to have absolutely 0 impact on what happens.

Great day !

Hey I totally understand where you're coming from, and I've made some changes!

- I did previously have in game sound settings bounded to [ESC], but I did not have it indicated anywhere in the game (sorry about this!).
- I've added some text to both the main menu "How To Play", and the in game upgrades panel to remind players of the settings [ESC] keybind.
- As for the poop sounds, I've changed it so that the poops play on a different audio bus, and you can now turn poop SFX volume down in the settings.
- For the current background music in the game, for now I'm not planning on changing it. I think music like all art is subjective, and if you feel that way about the background music, you can always turn it down in the settings :).

- I've also added tooltips for all upgrades, hopefully this explains the game a little and makes it clear what each upgrade does!

- As for game balance, I know that the game isn't the most balanced. It's my first time making an incremental/idle game on top of competing in the GDTV Game Jam, so it's been a chaotic ride. I've made some changes on the balance of the game (increasing probabilities, decreasing timers etc.). Hopefully it feels more balanced and doesn't feel so slow to get started anymore!

Let me know if you have any other concerns.

I hope you give it another try!

Hey !

Thank you,
Oh yes, but on itch-io there is this issue that if you press ESC it will just cancel the fullscreen sadly !
Thanks for the How to play

I meant by that with the music that's it's short & repetitive, not the content itself (I don't listen to music that much in general) wich made a weird situation where you have no music & random poop sounds sometimes that are A LOT higher than the music itself

Not judging for balance, it's fine don't worry it was just to express my POV on that.

I didn't know about the full screen issue. I use a different browser and it pops out the game window when playing.

Oh yeah I totally agree with you on the music. I'm fully aware that the music is lacking in variety, and my audio system being a little broken doesn't help at all :/. Hopefully in the near future I'll hash things out, fix some bugs, and add more features!

I'm very glad to hear your feedback and POV. To know different views and opinions on my game is extremely valuable to me!
