Even though I won and got the metagame cog, I still don't feel like I fully understand what's going on. I only ever kept one pickaxe and one armour because that's how those things work, but the screenshots show multiple with different coloured circles - do they stack? How do you add more pegs to the circle? Mine only had one the whole time. I suppose I got there in the end, although I would've liked to see the boundaries for the different ranks. All that aside, I did get some fun out of it, good job for getting it working in the time limit!
