Game always crashes when I get to around 60k-70k score using a + Count/Crit Chance/Crit Damage Hunter build (I think because of how many particle effects are on screen at once?). Wickedly fun game though! If the crash is fixed, I will keep going for the highscore.

Hey thanks for playing our game! :)

You should have full control over when you leave the level, since you have to click the Minecart full of Blue Ore button in order to leave. You should technically be able to stay in a level as long as you like.

It is also possible you are missing out on the Egg Clowns! They are the clowns in the blue party hats that run away when you expand the light level. There is a specific way to catch them which you can discover through the upgrade tree (I also gave a guide on how to do it in a comment a little further down).

No problem, I’ll put it in a summary:

Hey thanks for the comment! Have you encountered the clown with eggs in his back that runs away from the elevator light when you expand it? Most levels have at least one of those clowns, and there is a specific way to catch him. 

Thank you so much for playing! 

yeah it's tricky to balance!

Whoaaa thanks for playing and giving your thoughts!! You bring up so many good points of feedback, echoing stuff that we mulled over quite a bit in the development cycle, like whether clowns should attack during the quiet periods or not. Ultimately, we leaned more toward the "choose your own pace" design, but there are so many things we could add to keep the tension going.

Really appreciate the video, it's very valuable to us devs to see how players interact with the game!!!

The little "larva" clowns are just there to give you something else to click. Maybe in a future update, we can give them an actual purpose, like being able to swarm your buildings or chase your guys around!

Thanks so much for playing! Hope we get a chance to go further with the concept :))

Thanks for highlighting that softlock issue!! We thought we had found every instance of it! 

Thanks for playing!! :))

Thanks so much for playing! If we get more time to work on this, trust that we'd add more levels, more clowns, more everything!

Thanks for playing :)) 

the gym is ultimately a place of self-reflection. I mean, they literally have mirrors in there.

... now maybe I am looking too deeply lol

thanks for playing, so glad you enjoyed it!! :)

must be the most accurate dentist simulator of all time. Strongest contender for strangest place, that's for sure hahaa!

Thank you for playing!

Thank you so much for giving it a try anyway, and really glad you liked the visuals and audio! :))

Thanks for playing! I gave your game a play, super cool!!

Super polished and mechanically deep! Wow, this is very impressive for one week, you guys did amazing work here! For some feedback, I kept accidentally clicking a random upgrade item when a wave finished while I was placing buildings. I think a "UI cooldown" would help here, where I can't choose an upgrade for at least 2 seconds when it shows up, haha.

The building system is cool, but it is weird that when I unlock a production building from the upgrade popup, I can't immediately build it, I have to wait until I unlock a unit that uses the related resource. Would much rather start stockpiling immediately so I'm ready for when I unlock a unit building.

Lots of replayability here, I had a good time!

This was beautiful in every sense of the word. Glad to see you guys are looking to release this as a full game! Wishing you all great success :))

Thanks for playing, and glad you enjoyed! I also love the palette, was super inspired by the colors :))

Probably the most esoteric and strange game I've played in this jam, I kinda love it lol! Nice work :))

Very fun! I will admit, the upgrade to remove fake IDs makes the game maybe a bit too one-dimensional, especially once I got to know what dialogues did what. Still, the music is awesome, and it was a good experience!

Loved this! Great vibes and aesthetic, the art direction is phenomenal! The mechanics took a second to get used to, in that I wasn't initially sure how the turn order worked. I also wasn't sure whether the card choices you get after a fight added cards to your deck or upgraded existing cards, so early choices felt a bit haphazard. I would've liked to have had an opportunity to play out more cards in the turn order (maybe as part of a boss encounter, you let the player go all out, etc.)

You've basically got a mini Slay the Spire here! Very impressive for a week jam, you guys must've worked hard!

Super cozy! The dialogue was fun, and I had a good time coming up with the perfect layouts. Excellent work!

Level 3 is pure evil hahaha. Nice work on this! The characters were cute, and it's cool that you can replay to get a better score!

Super cute game! Reading through all the junk mail was my favorite activity lmao. I did find that sometimes I would lose tenants or houses behind the drawer UI while dragging and dropping, and had to go find them. But besides that, I had a good time! (I purposely got myself fired to see what it was like, haha)

I managed to roll four 1s in a row, and the enemy nearly had me lol. Pretty fun! Not sure exactly how the interaction works when the enemy reaches your space, though I always seemed to get away in the end. Nice vibes!

Cool boss fight!! When I figured out I could walk into the side of the screen to appear on the other side, the game changed completely! I will say, for the final boss phase, I discovered that if you stay far enough away, the boss never shoots, so you can cheese it! In any case, had fun! The art is way cool, and definitely gives a strange places vibe!

Thanks for playing, and you're too kind :'))

bruh the opening dialogue audio TOOK ME OUT.  But seriously, besides the text being a bit difficult to read in plaices (hehe) this is one of the most visually stunning games I've seen in this jam so far. The audio as well, such wonderful vibes. The gameplay is very Dave the Diver (which I enjoy), and the shop adds a great layer of progression. Very fun hunting the bounty fish and getting distracted by other, more grotesque or shiny specimens.

Amazing what ya'll have pulled off in a week. it's so peak :')

Definitely risky going for a local co-op game in a jam (in the sense that not everyone who would play has a P2), but I admire the execution! As someone said, the controls are a bit difficult to work around, but we managed to have a good time anyway! Nice work on this :))

Very cool and funny idea! Made me realize I really do be acting this way in the elevator lol. Some of the puzzles were a little easy, but it didn't prevent me from having a good time!

absolutely LOVE the art! I'm a very bad farmer, and get fired often, but at least I look good doing it!!

bro this is so goofy I love it :'''))

First run, I got the pack right away, then got super lost! Took me a solid second to realize I should just be retracing my steps. Wow, I felt like a genius xD. Cute and fun!

Very cool! Only track I was able to get a good score on was Crater haha. I swear it feels like the sliders just don't always work? Or maybe the timing is just super tight? Anyway, the music was a jam, and it was a vibe to play. Nice work!

Addictive, and endlessly replayable, what more could you ask for?! Excellent game, no notes, hope you expand on it!

Thanks so much for playing! Really appreciate the feedback :))

Super cute! Loved the art, and the vibes were so chill! It was a bit difficult to see the pieces in the desert level with all the particles, but I managed in the end!
