very fun gme, i completed it in like 3:30 hours and the game loop is very addictive

three notes about the general pacing:

1. like someone else also said, i got the trinkets in a very unhelpful order, i guess bc of randomization, and probably bc of that it felt like they didn't add a lot. it might be fun if the trinkets were a bit more powerful but also you could only have a limited amount on the board at any active time? maybe like 3 or so that you could swap

2. the super late game feels a bit off in pacing. i got all the upgrades and still had like 100,000 left, that plus the fact that even max upgraded, your cousin sorting the odd pieces is still too slow to keep up with the conveyor belt kind of made the final bit drag on

3, this might just be a me thing bc i paced things oddly, but i ended  up with the conveyor while the tray length upgrade was still at like 2/5. so i ended up only fully upgrading the tray at the very end for completion's sake 

Thank you for playing it all the way through, and for the detailed notes! 3:30 is right about where I hoped people would land.

  1. The keepsakes aren't actually random. Each one is tied to a container. But their bonuses had nothing to do with when they show up, which is why the order felt so unhelpful. I've reworked them so each one helps whatever you're using at that point in the game. I like your idea of fewer but stronger keepsakes, with about 3 active at a time that you can swap. That's a bigger change, so I'm going to think about it rather than rush it in.
  2. You're right about the late game. The keepsakes that come out near the end now speed up your cousin, which helps a bit, but it doesn't fully fix the cousin not keeping up with the belt. Running out of upgrades with 100k left is the bigger problem, and it's next on my list.
  3. Not just you, I think. The conveyor can arrive before the lane upgrades feel finished, and then they stop mattering. I'll look at it alongside the late-game pacing.

The keepsake changes will be in the next update. Thanks again, this was really useful!
