I played for quite a while!

I lost to the final multi gamble, but the enemy had 2.6 hp left 😡. The game was quite fun! The tutorial is well made! I played the whole thing in full screen, which worked well. I did not even realize this is an early version.

The jams were blocking the game though. I would say to leave the jams that end in over a year from now to help this issue.

Some issues I encountered:

Tutorial being the very first main CTA (Call to action), before play. This should show only after pressing play. I think it's a first time issue, because after going in again, it worked properly.
The final multi gamble was unbalanced, almost always reducing my multi. It also shouldn't be able to x0 multi.
I brought the coffee cup, (unbreakable cup for +0.5x multi) but could not find it in game.
Relics show up as a grey box on the relic screen.
Shop discount did not work.
Lag at the beginning (could have been on my side or due to the browser version)
The enemies relic mute did not work (slot machine gave me points)

Overall, still an amazing game. Hope you can make it to Steam.

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback! I also played your game and left a comment and rating. :D

About the tutorial screen appearing before pressing Play: it should only appear after starting the game. Maybe you accidentally clicked it while the game was loading, because there shouldn't be a situation where it appears directly. I will double-check this to make sure there is no issue.

We haven't been able to do proper balancing yet. At this stage, our main goal is to showcase as many mechanics as possible and gather feedback about the overall gameplay experience. We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed the game despite the current balance issues!

I will check the shop discount issue.

The relics appearing as grey boxes are because we haven't designed their icons yet. :D They are still placeholder visuals for now.

I wasn't aware that the slot machine was still giving points while the enemy relic mute was active, so thank you for pointing that out! I will investigate and fix it.

Thank you again for the great feedback and for taking the time to play and rate ZAR. We really appreciate it!

Wishing you the best with your game development journey as well!
