1. Increasing cost on matches etc - I will write this down and think about it for a while. There’s no clean solution for this map, but I can build it differently for future maps.
1a. Shortcuts - Same here. Although I’m fine to leave them in if some players prefer to unlock them.
2. Running Shoes - I intended running to take up stamina at first. I will check if it works ok to have it on a toggle. And where to place the free shoes, and where they are sold.
3. Cosmetics feel expensive - Yes, I made a test in the first shop with the tickets, I have some ideas for the other shops as well. Aka “cosmetic currency”.
4. Chest content isn’t worth it with expensive keys - There used to be more chests, but I replaced a lot of them with presents and free items. I mean, it is a gamble after all :) But I would say it’s worth it when you unlock a path and when the keys are cheaper.
5. Mining range visuals - I agree, this is pretty high on the list. The range needs to be shown clearly and how it expands with the upgrades.
6. Unclear effect of duplicate items - Any specific ones? Unless there’s a bug they should all increase in effect up to 5 upgrades.
7. Coupon remaining - Yeah, I don’t want to force the player to buy everything. Maybe I will just stop giving out coupons when you buy all the items, or add something more to it. I added it as a first test, I have some other ideas for the other shops.
8. Missing barrel breaker after prestige - I can’t replicate it so it’s hard to debug.
Unlocking all of the rooms on the right from the starting area and running out of resources - It’s a hard balance, I want players to be able to explore and pick different paths, but at the same time, I don’t want there’ to be too easy to randomly get locked out of a run. I have been changing a few positions of the shops and characters, and what you can buy in shops etc. (you used to be able to buy keys in the first shop, which made it a bit too open) I will add some keys in the farmer’s shop and see if that helps
Thank you for the detailed feedback and for playing through multiple rounds!
