Interesting concept. Is there always guarantee solution exists or no. but it’s nice you got points even when the solution isn’t perfect. So even if player has bad luck, they don’t fail totally. But I’m still curious if you looked into the math of it and if there is some prevention mechanismus, or it’s mathematically guaranteed solution always exists.

No, there’s no guaranteed solution. I wanted to put more emphasis on coin management. Coins aren’t just for upgrades; they’re also used during levels, creating a trade-off - like choosing between buying health potions or saving up for a shiny sword. They’re your ultimate fail-state too: if you hit -10 coins, it’s game over. And finally, your coin count after 9 levels can be used as a kind of high score system
