Yeah, your idea has the potential to be an actual game if you wanted to spend the time on it. Like something you check up on every day but with extra steps.

It's at the back of my mind. I'm currently working on a project that isn't ready for the light of day. And this was me taking a break from it. But there was a few feature I didn't add to avoid feature creep. Though saying that, the average player in this Jam is probably going to see 1 of the first 3 colors (and probably not seeing the higher tiers). But I wanted to award people who played it as an idler for longer with higher tiers.
That all being said, with peoples feedback so far, I'm considering looking into it at least. I want to see how the week goes. These games have been around for a while. Basically a tamagotchi. But it would end different but in a good way I think from it's current form.
