That starting animation was so good!! Howw?!!??! I really liked the concept, though I'm unsure whether it was a bug or a feature, that when I spammed the invest button without damage that I'd lose my money. Either way, fun idle game and I'm curious to learn more about the story behind how the hellmouth got opened and why ^-^

Thanks for playing!
In case you're curious, the invest button was originally supposed to add all of your damage to your money, but PICO-8 has some issues with changing big numbers easily or quickly. (Everything is a signed 16-bit integer, meaning that the highest number you can store without some math magic is around 32000. This is why the upgrades don't get more expensive past 30k.) So I decided to change the mechanic to delete any remaining money before adding, which I hoped would add a little bit of strategy while also fixing stuff behind the scenes... I do kind of regret not making it more intuitive though.
