thanks a lot for the feedback! I'm still tweaking the overall balance. the first version was way too fast, so I slowed it down to give better progression, but it seems I went a bit too far.
as for cleaning the popcorn, I originally planned a mechanic for it, but didn't have time to implement it and honestly couldn't find a way to make it interesting enough. I'll most likely end up removing it. but thanks again for testing! i
really appreciate it!
