The game keeps freezing when I use a quick shot on this particular run.

From there, just use quick shot on anything, I did the piranha.

I assume this is because a card is persisting via snake eyes when it shouldn't.

In case this demo is still being maintained, Deck Points don't persist when reloading the page.

In reality, the turns per crisis is higher the more crises are active. My approximate phrasing would be "Crises take 5 turns to occur plus 2 turns for each existing crisis." but I'm not sure how you'd do it.

I assume that was supposed to be the gourmet kitchen at the bottom.

Also 

I don't know what you did, but trying to start the game not only fails, but also bricks anything else using WebGL for me.

Have you ever suffered from a lack of lucky dust in the late game, since the shop stops stocking it? Or maybe you need some heat, but can't just quench your swords? Or could it even be that wards are too expensive? No matter what it is, I have the EXPLOIT for you.

Quick hands makes upgrades below +15 cost no durability, Reckless makes all upgrades cost no gold but +1 durability. But under +15 it's still 0 durability cost, meaning you can infinitely farm shards and make a profit by buying new swords, then upgrading them until they reach +15 or break. Infinite shards means infinite strikes due to the workshop repair kit. (My in game name is TJTrickster.)

Not sure how to fix this. 

I'm sure it's not, as the bottom right corner of this one says demo.

Maybe I shouldn't play a push your luck game when I'm a bit unlucky lolI noticed and was shocked when I did that the hammer strikes are slower, as if being more careful at higher tiers.

Anyways, some feedback:

1.  Delivery Bonus can by itself give someone infinite strikes. Especially since we're going into the millions of gold near the end of the game, spending a thousand for 70 strikes is an insanely good deal. I've thought of 2 possible adjustments to put this in line: A. Make it require the sword being sold for at least a certain % of market price (possibly 70). or B. Just make it so training swords don't get the bonus.

2. The runs (at least how I've been playing them) feel like the main problem is having very little control over how +27 to +30 goes.  Especially with Mythical swords halving all bonuses to my chances, I feel like I need to save wards and lucky dust specifically for that tier. I'm not too sure if there is a fix here, the scaling costs in the shop seem to imply that players are supposed to save those for later.

3. Grit is kinda useless. Let's say I have a 90% chance of each upgrade in the trial tier. There is a 34% chance for a sword to get through without dropping. If I were to go just from +12 to +19, I have a 43% chance for no drops, while I don't want to calculate the chance going from +10 to +19 uses both of Grit's charges, I don't think I need to. It negates 2 drops per run. So if a player goes from 0 to 29 twice, it's almost certain Grit isn't doing much. I think the simplest fix is to make it work twice per sword.

4. The wall of engravings could use something to indicate which ones I can buy without having to hover over all of them

For the no hammer challenge, I think the locked text should state that's the challenge. 

Also I know 900k debt is for narrative purposes, but I can get that in a run. (Just wanted to flex here.)

Premise seems nice, but if I understand the instructions right, I'm stuck in the tutorial.

I just figured out in the settings you can turn the tutorial off and it lets you skip the first stage if you do.

I think the invite expired. And I was going to post my latest run.

For the Daily Challenge, the best name I came up with is "Shifting Buffet." Not that I'm good with naming things.

Also it seems like restaurant identity only activates if all 6 menu items require an ingredient instead of just 5.

This was fun (I found this game in the afternoon and it's 11PM as I'm writing this.), and seeing that this is early in development, I'll give some requests:

1. I'd like the ability to see the menu and deck while choosing recipes and new cards.

2. Sometimes when I buy a card removal, I don't want to remove any of the shown cards and would like to skip.

3. I'd like the Daily Challenge to have it's own kitchen name instead of using one of the others.

4. While talking about the name display, I'd like to remove the word kitchen from the end (especially when I pick Carnivore Kitchen) 

I honestly can't keep track of the actual heat values. Would like it if the card's heat display was adjusted or maybe separate the rank display and heat display?

The game still responds, but clicking the trophy doesn't end it so IDK what to do here.

A few levels in and pressing Q doesn't show the colorpedia, pressing A and D still turn the pages but it's not showing. Reloading the page didn't solve this either, that's a shame, from what I've seen this is interesting.

I got it now. With hindsight, I should've expected that to be an option since you can hold the piece in position for as long as you need to.

Edit: I went to play a normal game after replaying level 5 and the puzzle pieces were in my deck too.

Puzzle 4 is the boxbox one. I'm still not seeing it. Maybe it's a sign that it's stumping me but it feels like there are at most two moves that aren't obviously wrong.

IDK how to do puzzle 4 (I did the other 4 though.) but I think they'd be fun.

So the demo ends at the first terminal, and I thought my preparation might've been overkill, anyways.

Minor complaints:

The metal scavenger's bar is always full.

I'd like if the disposible biocell's bars only looked empty once the cell itself was empty. This can be confusing to look at and also means I needed to double check disposable biocells before destroying them.

If I don't have empty space for biomass and I get some in a scavenge action, all of the collectors try activating.

Lastly, the status panel says a level 1 sensor increases range by 200 meters, but the sensor itself says 20 meters.

Four mechanically neutral QOL suggestions:

1. The ability to set certain items to either need a confirmation window before destroying them or just not allow destroying until that setting is off. I've accidentally destroyed a biomass generator while quickly changing disposable biocells and just reloaded the last save. (Auto destroying empty disposable biocells feels more like an augment idea to me.)

2. A pause button so I can get some water without worrying about running out of biomass/power. This is actually more prevalent in early game than late game. My current solution was simply switching tabs since the game wouldn't run in the background.

3. Letting the player transfer from scrap box to scrap box or carcass container to carcass container. (Maybe even for material boxes of the same component instead of doing it one at a time.)

4. Upgrades taking from boxes take from the box of components that has the least components first, so if I have a box of 20 magnets and another with 7, an 8 magnet upgrade always leaves me with one box of 19 magnets and an empty box.

It's a good game though.

I found two minor bugs with the grabber. (I know there's an in game bug report, but I want to attach images.)

1. The grabber shows yellow if it was turned off while fully charged.

2. The grabber drains power while on and fully charged.

Haven't encountered a terminal yet, might reply to this comment once I do.

Playing as Fractured Core, and I don't know if taking the crisis points was intended.

I feel like when an enemy dies should not be an option for the starting trigger and the non-damaging options other than gain XP should not be options for the starting action simply because picking either one of those means you're stuck at level 1 for the whole game. (Unless there's a hidden third way of getting XP?)

When restarting the game, I had to refresh the page to see the time sentry's information.

Some badges seem to have hidden text, which isn't really helpful. Does this have a chance to draw an extra card? I haven't seen it.

I think this is just a funny visual glitch that bulkhead has 2 separate stacks of fearful. If this actually does something, IIRC the way I got it was to have fearful, then another status, then apply fearful again.

While no picture for it, I noticed that Ethyl's cards are more specific as to how stonefist spirit scales or that vine lash states you have to target an enemy whereas the others' cards don't.

Lastly, I don't think the flee button works.

It's a nice game though.

Is that under video settings in the options?

Isn't the eye supposed to be unhappy when any number is in contact with it? I think the die just gets reduced to 0.

I think the concept works (although I'm not sure how later round scaling goes.) [Theoretically, anything can be Balatro'd, the skill is in making it fun.]

Also, the wolf just feels like a guaranteed loss if you have no mult relics past the first round.

Anyways, there were some bugs.

The only major one is that red dice that wouldn't score normally but score because of Hungry Pachyderm work against the wolf. (For example, if you get three of a kind with 2 white 3s and a red 3, the red one won't work, but if you also had a red 4, the 4 would score for some reason.) [In this case, I used Red Disk to make all the dice red.]

Butterfingers limited the points per category to half the goal + 1.

Lastly (no screenshot because that'd be too difficult, and it's just visual.) Five Alive visually triggers both times a 5 activates instead of just the one time it triggers the five.

IDK if glitches are supposed to apply to wonders so I put that in just in case. No buildings are visibly affected by glitches and it seems that only the first turn of glitches actually works. All 4 of these are on the same turn, and I had only unlocked 8 T2 buildings.

Also I think the shield generator's description is just the template.

The exploration numbers seem to have subtracted the requirements from the previous level.

Also, a second exploration glitch. IIRC the order was I got T2 Isolationism, got Sensor Improvements, then resolved Isolationism. I got up to 30 tiles with 1 cost missions.

I don't have a picture, but the wellness ability that removes a planet from the game and gives you resources can be used multiple times by going below then above its threshold.

In this image, somehow the Harvest Drones showed 0 health but had 3. (Also the Cargo Drones were never targetable.)

Here, the citizen's request was impossible since there was no crisis. I'm not sure if this one is a bug, but I was going to make this post anyway, so why not check.

Tymscar either is a hacker or found a bug.

Can't rotate pieces due to having a trackpad, seems interesting though.

The game worked on previous versions, I'm using google chrome, after a few attempts, it seems to only happen when I pick driver.

Nice game, but two bugs/oversights.

1. EMP missile does more damage than EMP missile II.

2. Repair Bay doesn't heal anything.

And one question, Is the chain reactor supposed to give evasion?

New boxless scores for move 1, move 2, ice 1 and ice 2
