First notes: Found a bug :D
- I was about to enter the cookie, but I tried to get greedy when the tile above it disappeared. I believe I tried to enter that cookie but clicked on the one on the top right(I was to the right before I advanced), but then missed the timer before I could enter, and now I'm stuck without a reset option. T'was quite funny to encounter.
Ok, now besides that. This game idea was very unique. Love the idea of how you used the grids and upgrades.
Energy, fighting monsters, and gaining health. I really love the act that you can use money to chain off other money tiles to get 2x or 3x. I love those visuals, and the audio is awesome. A fast way to reset really elevated it for me in terms of replayability.
Despite its simplicity, I do think it could have warranted a fun way to at least combat enemies, because it did feel a bit brutal being trapped by 3-4 enemies in one tile, where I was forced to give up HP. I guess those were what the shops were for as well, but honestly... I have barely little to no comments about how this could improve; I actually believe this has potential for a longer build outside of the jam.
You have my word if this goes crazy after the jam-development stage, because I love this idea as a whole. I'd love to see more work on this!
Great job, hope to see more of what you make! 9/10
