Thanks for your feedback! It all makes total sense. I'm glad you could tell I had fun making it hah, yeah the pointless arachnophobia mode was like one of the first things I added LOL.
Rregarding the currency I definitely had intended to find some better use for the excess, mainly I was looking into gating higher tier upgrades behind multiple currencies together, but I ran into some balancing issues (who would've thought that largely putting off balance & e2e testing until 9 hours before the deadline was a bad idea lol)
Similarly I was hoping to flesh out the differences between each universe but spent a bit too much time focusing on the "fluff" hah, next time I'll try to balance out that ratio a bit more. With that said, my ideas for differentiators were terrible compared to the few suggestions you came up with, so thanks for helping me learn in that sense. If I end up expanding on it then I'll definitely take your advice, thanks very much
Also I had never heard of Berry Bury Berry, definitely would need to do a bit more market research into the genre if I do continue here hah -- I've played a handful of games but not enough, for sure. Thanks again for all your advice
