Those are some great ideas! We weren't really sure what else to add to the pool of blocks, but one-time use item's would be very good (i see the rope as a panic button here, might be more expensive but it does save your run in the short term). I will pass them onto the main developer of the game! Thank you for the great feedback :)
Also, i believe there was someone who got to day 32? They had a lucky run in the early game
