I played to round 35 with 20 min on the clock, then realized "You can not win"... well done, good game... I guess I was hoping that eventually something different would happen. Well art'ed though and it kept me going for a long time. Fun, good meta progression.
lol thanks. yeah I should have added an alternative winning ending at level 15 for this demo, or ramped up difficulty much more.
I ran outa time :)
Glad you enjoyed regardless
Great vibe, and all that done in code! Got to round 9
Thanks Darek! Appreciate the playthru
concept is creative and i enjoyed it quite a lot for some time but after few first runs it became too easy, there is not enough of a chellange in gameplay, i stored so much time to spend and I didn’t feel threat of it.
but overall i had fun, atmosphere sells it well and time being a currency in cool approach
Thanks. Yeah I ran outa time unfortunately and should have just put an alt ending at level 15 (as theres no real ramp beyond floor 10(
THIS IS SO PEAK I really love the game mechanics. As a visual artist I have to say your UI design is really great, it's clear, simple and very consistent. The atmosphre is legendary
Thanks. As someone that cannot draw to save my own life, I appreciate that you dig my style. (I've been a front end dev for a long time IRL :D )
At one point, I got into the flow of it, and it felt good. I started doing the math in my head. But there are no moments to catch your breath in the game. Plus, I'd like a faster restart.
Thanks. Good suggestion, I must work out breather moments and a faster restart to stay in flow. Thanks for playing!
Thanks a lot for this entry. I really dig the atmosphere. Really love it
Thanks for playing :) appreciate it . glad you enjoyed the style
Nice artwork! The game is pretty challenging at the start, but keeps you entertained until the end.
Thanks gizmo! glad you enjoyed it
Atmosphere is great!
It'll probably be better to pause timer during unskippable UI unimations, otherwise it looks unfair as after some level they starting to spend almost all time that victory gives you.
Thank you.
Fixed and pushed. timer now freezes on round overlay. :)
The lighting and atmosphere here are outstanding — genuinely some of the best I've seen in this jam. The sound design pulls it together too. Serious contender for the art category, well done！

Defeated Lender XIII
Boy, that atmosphere...
Maybe reducing the amount of information a bit to make it harder to find the optimal solution would create a difficulty level that suits better.
Good work!
Thanks!
I have updated with reducing information slowly all the way up to level 10 now :)
