A less mathy idea for some extension world:

In a new chapter, you find that star keys are "exact single keys of the star effect", and unstar keys are exact-zero of them. Every star effect you have gives you the amount of keys that you just used to open the door, and you can now have multiple, negative, and complex star effects! Example: having 2 star effects gives you the costs of doors when you open them; having -1 star effect makes you lose them twice as fast.

Together with this is introduced the Star Door/Lock, which requires the amount of star effects to open. You can still shred the door with a master key, and combo locks spend keys with precedence over star effects.

[[[[[Padding which hopefully moves the spoiler content out of range of the single-line preview]]]]]

In World 11 (Miracle Tower), complex numbers of keys are introduced, but I wonder if in some sequel or spinoff, it might be fun to explore the properties of extending integer keys in other ways. Like instead of i, we could have a key that multiplies the count by ε (maybe named a "differential key"), where ε^2 = 0. Then I wonder if it would spice up puzzles since we can order them; in the sense that "1 key is greater than any amount of ε keys," so having 1 key opens an ε-door and just reduces your key count to 1-ε.

Interested to hear other mathematical extensions too though!! Really big fan of how far this game takes the concept of opening doors with keys. But I get it if this idea is TOO mathy.

No, this is someone else's heart!

Sorry but I don't want to promote this

Wow cool it is done already !

darn

So the whole world was in their knife the whole time??

How can they tell? There is like a landfill in the building

But of course they did! They have to make wigs special to fit the horns

This guy only has three fingers and holds bottles with one hand! Someday he's gonna drop it near my house and it will be hazardous!

Subtle hints are always great! For example I wouldn't have known that the dumpster contained Trash without the inconspicuous and hidden graffiti

let's stalk each other !!!

yay you done it !!!!

ya, and I ain't complaining

well i'm too attached to the illusion. i will never press Esc to go back to real world

ya 🎵 you done it!!!!

who's the real bug catcher!!!

yeah at first! but you never know after 10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^(10^10)))))))) years!

you can even throw away the rest of the universe when you're done harvesting them!

😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿

p.s. there should really be a dog crying and bird crying and bearded dragon crying emoji

i wonder if beardford eventually came to enjoy it too...!!!

😿😿😿

hurray for parallel universes!! the cheapest source of identical labor

yayayayay that is great fixes! that dog was always mysterious and hounderick type! i wonder if they are also hounderick but travelled in time. normally talking would be a paradox

i didnt know hounderick liked trains so much! what a wacky instinct! gud job for curbing it 👍❤️

gud fix!! they were like "no fighting in the bar" but all they do is fight, more or less, so they thought of not doing anything forever
