In case anyone is wondering, this game is in the same family as Chaosium’s Basic Roleplay games (Runequest, etc.)

Yep. On my second run, I cleaned out the first level, and was able to upgrade everything and then skip past all of the other levels. Since the monsters get progressively more powerful on each level, skipping straight from level 1 to the end is the easy-mode strategy. Perhaps the full game could have some kind of key hidden on each level that’s needed to go to the next one.
Another change could be having the upgrade costs ramp up much, much more than they do now, but have resources worth much more on lower levels.
I just played the update, and it was nice not having ducks getting stuck in panels. Overall it’s a well-done game for just being an early-release demo. I’ll be keeping an eye on this project.
Edit: One issue is that the middle mouse button is very hard to use on a lot of mice that combine the button with the scroll wheel. Perhaps some other key could be used instead of (or as an alternative to) the middle mouse button for rotating objects.
Do yourself a huge favor and look up F-Droid. It’s a third-party app store, and it’s amazing. All of the apps are completely free (though some do have in-app purchases), and many of them are open source. Unlike the default Google Play store, F-Droid is not monetized and is supported by grants and donations.
One of the apps you can find on F-Droid is Mitch, which is an unofficial Android itch.io app. I use it and I like it. It can be a bit finicky, but it does work pretty well.
I can navigate to relatively static pages like the front page or individual project pages, but anything involving searches or tags gets me an infinite verification loop in the app. The regular Chrome browser works fine, though.
The root cause might be because an old version of embedded Chrome is used in the itch desktop app, and it’s incompatible with Cloudflare’s human verification. Fixing it might mean either moving the app codebase to a new version of Electron (which could be non-trivial) or somehow allowing the itch app to bypass the “I’m Not a Clanker” screen.
