thank you for the detailed comment
the $2000 goal was a bit over the top, initially you could get it in like 4 drop-offs but getting 500 dollars for a drop off felt really lame, maybe we went too far the other way, but the idea we've got going forwards is that it is maybe like an hour of grind but we now have a really nice platform to just start chucking crazy weird stuff at the player. loads of little narrative intricacies, maybe different routes or levels, shortcuts, powerups etc. this is just the beginning!
I'm really really glad the themes we set up resonated with you. its hard sometimes to put your weird little in-jokes out there in the world, but when we hear back from someone like you who gets it, it makes it all worthwhile! It's definitely something we will continue developing because its just this weird janky mess that somehow makes sense
