Fun gameplay, but I feel like you have to wait a little too long to get a meaningful sense of progress.
I think a lot of things are still messy, including the world generation.
I lost my save data in the upgrade, so I decided to get my tools back. I bought every single upgrade which is like 20,000 cash without finding the elevator exit, or the village biome, or the graveyard. Only some water and some grass.
If I were a new player I would feel very lost and confused.
