Thanks for the feedback! Just a few things to clarify. So the cow building doesn’t produce the cash, it’s actually 10$ for each rat you kill. And I know the game takes a while, but that is on purpose as the game does save between sessions, and I made it with massive progression so that if the game rates well in the end of the jam, I could turn it into a full game. But thanks for the upgrade idea, that’s great! I’m happy you enjoyed the game!

Thanks for the feedback. Here’s what I want to clarify about the issues you faced.
1.rat collision
- when you say the rats glitch past, do they seem on top of the rats? If so that is intentional as they climb on top of each other to get past the hamtehs. Spam spawning the hamtehs makes a wall, countering the rats. If they weren’t going on top of the hamteh and were going through it. Then I will look into it.
2.rats pushing the hamteh back.
- This is intentional because as much as it’s a battle of health and damage, it’s also a battle of mass and force, imagine two opposing power beams with one having more force pushing back the other.
3.Rats appearing tanker.
- I am aware of a bug in which it looks like rats aren’t dying in the sped up modes. This is because the frame rate of the game can’t render the new rats replacing the old ones which bodies fade into the red mush.
4.concerns over game taking too long.
- While I understand the game can’t be beat in a few minutes like most game jam games, I made it this way so that if it does well in the game jam ranking. I might consider turning it into a full game that’s marketed. And I appreciate you being concerned about my sleep lol. Surprisingly I only used 6-8 hours per day on it and spent no all nighters.
I apologise for not making it clear in the current version. I will definitely make it more clear in a new version if it does good in the jam. Thanks for the feedback!

Awesome, I want to know if theres anything I could improve on, and what sits right with you in the current games state so I dont accidently kill anything good. I thought about adding a mage hamteh or different regions that unlock when you kill each current region boss but I ran out of time. But yeah, let me know what I could improve on. The feedback means a lot!
This is less of an idea but more on balance, It took long between each new building type to build and for me to see how the new unit acts, i would consider changing the cost of buildings to start cheaper but gets more expensive by each building built in the same category, So the initial 3000 + 40 cost of machine gun hamtah felt steep at start even for incremental games, maybe starting at 1500/2000+25 blocks then going higher in price each time built would urge the player to stick around to see the next building!
Another thing is maybe an "end run" button that lets you keep whatever hamtahs you didn't use yet in the run and take them home if you felt the run isn't going well.

That sounds great! I’m looking forward to working on this game further if it ranks well in the jam. Thanks for the feedback!
Great approach! i'm doing the same thing ;D although i'm not happy with my current game even for the jam but that very same plan is what i'm going by.
I'm curious what top% vote result for your game would you consider as a good indicator to continue working on it? i know this varries from person to person but really curious !
