Hey, thanks a lot for playing and commenting! I'm happy you found the game fun and took your time to play through it all. Ah, that's an interesting take I hadn't seen before. A lot of people are telling us that the early-game is too slow and takes too long. Perhaps keeping the bat relevant in the later stages of the game through bat upgrades could be a compromise to still keep it engaging for those who'd rather mostly play with the bat. Something to think about...
Nice time by the way!
