So stoked that you found so much enjoyment in this free demo!

Sorry to see your PC was struggling to run the game.
If you access the game's video setting, there 2 quick fixes to up your FPS:

1) Lower the resoultion:
* this will make the biggest different to how smoothly the game runs. By default the game will try to run o nthe highest resolution your monitor supports, but taking this down will give you a huge performance boost. Most systems should hit high frame rates at 720p, but the game actually looks really cool at even lower resolutions.

2) Switch off ambient occlusion.
* this won't make as big a difference, but will get you some extra FPS!

Thanks so much for checking out the demo, and sharing with your community!

Thanks so much for this comment Jade. So great to hear all the improvements to the game are appreciated!

We're working on it!

Love getting this kind of reaction to the demo! Thanks so much for playing, and for leaving this comment!

Hi! We just rolled out an update that resolved this issue.

Thanks for the bug report, and thank you so much for playing!

Hi! Thanks for reaching out about this!
Unfortunately we only have the payment options that itch allows - we don't know of any alternate ways to handle sales on here.

High fives on signing up to the newsletter! We'll have our June mailer going out soon!

Thanks so much for keeping up with the updates. So glad to hear you're enjoying all the improvements and additions!

Thanks so much for playing and sharing!

Thanks Patch! Hope you have a good time with the new cards! Be sure to keep an eye out for Flambe - it's super fun!

Whole game could just be Squish tripping and it'd still be a 10/10 experience!

Thanks for confirming Gianbin. I don't think this'll happen anymore in the current version of the game, but appreciate the heads up!

Hot poker has such good potential to be so broken!

No way! So you pay for something, then cancel the payment and trigger growing confidence?! Do you know if this still works this way in the new updates?

Great to see! Thanks for sharing the game with people! Hope you've been able to beat the Gloom Worm!

Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

You'll be happy to know that as of the new version cards can no longer draw themselves!

This is such a fun idea! That Stab landed up being nuts!

Loads more in the works!

Thanks so much for checking the demo out, and for this feedback! Great to hear!

Haha! 30 seconds into this and we're dying! So stoked to watch the whole thing!

What a rad little gem of a game!

Thanks! Cool to hear!
Card with "Evolve" will evolve into a new cards after they've been played enough times that their evolve counter ticks down to 0.

Thanks for playing, and taking the time to leave this comment.
In the current build it's very easy to miss Lazarus triggering. We've added much better death and revival feedback on our side, so this will be much clearer in our next update!

What a cool question! We'd love to share some more info on this!

Nope, we've not got any voice acting in the game.

Anyone curious about any specific aspects of development on this game? We're gonna try keep putting out this monthly dev logs, so let us know if you wanna see us dig into anything in particular!

Thanks so much for supporting the project!

We don't automatically add the emails of donators to our mailing list. We figured some people might not appreciate that without consenting (and itch offers no option for that).

We do have a mailing list, and you can sign up to it here:

Love to hear it! Thanks for playing and please keep an eye on how progress goes with the full game!

Awww, thanks! Cool to hear you made your way through from TikTok!
Hope you have a blast with the prototype when you get to play it!

Yes, it's definitely possible to beat the Gloom Worm!
We've been threatening to make a video where we do a deep dive into the games systems, sharing tips and tricks for how to reliably beat the game. 

We'll have to make it happen!

Thanks heaps! We're stoked to keep sharing our adventures with people as development continues!

Thanks so much - really appreciate this! We'd love to see this game reach as many people as possible!

Woooo! Thank you!

Thanks homie! We're so stoked!

Haha, thank you!

Thank you!! We're so grateful to be getting to make this game together!
