Came here after watching Manly's video. Really don't want to join the complaint squad.
This game is built very solid. Very very solid.
This game has a very cool art direction.
I love the idea and the story is somewhat simple but all good stories should be simple.
My issue is... This game was not sanity checked nor peer reviewed.
Manly takes his gaming very seriously and did a lot of work to try to figure out what was the poitn and made an entertaining yet mediocre video. i thought to myself "this can't be all..."
I've spent around 7 hours by now trying to blackbox this... And this isn't an idle game, its Fnaf level of micromanaging the hunger bar, because you litterally have to polish every single coin to get anywhere.
This game has no respect for your time. Hours of progress can be reset to zero in an instant, and there's no leeway for getting experience to learn the mechanics. You either work towards the mutations you want, or you make negative progress towards it. And the RNG can reset all of your progress buy just giving you bad coins or dropping you bad items in a row, and the stages take too much effort.
So yeah. This was uterly miserable to play because there's no skill involved. Its just rolling till you roll snakeyes and have to restart. A game with this big of a time and no save function is just waiting for a PC or browser hickup to make you just leave.
If you thinking about playing. i don't recommend.
Stage recuirements need to be halved, Money increase, more obvious hunger mechanic.
I wish i could like this game more, but its way too much and i've spent too much time of it. This is just rude.
