This game is so fun lol. The creatures are very cute and it has the perfect name. It all felt very chaotic. I love that its the kind of game that you add onto yourself each time you die. I like that it tells you what it happening on the bottom though so its not TO chaotic but it would be nice if either the words stayed longer or if it showed the alerts in a list form (with like 3 or 4 as a max maybe) because sometimes it just moves to fast. I was excited to read you plan on adding more little guys! Right now it feels pretty easy to pick who I want to use to make money quickly without the place literally burning down. I would like to have more incentive to use different guys (maybe they can interact with each other somehow? Like if the raffle one makes a fire maybe theres a chance the water one can put it out and by walking over it without dying for example).

A few questions/concerns though: I picked English but a few things are still in a different language (the lady selling spells has multiple buttons not in english, and the main screen has a button not in English after you click to see the secret monster descriptions.)

Can a main menu button be added to the game over screen? I wanted to go back to read the secret descriptions but it makes me nervous to refresh my screen and I didn't get how else to go back.

Also am I supposed to be able to buy spells etc.? Because I can't. It says Spell 1 and 2 and everything else but if I can buy things from her I have no idea how.

Another thing I couldn't figure out was Springs. I thought she said there were literally springs the guys could use but maybe I misunderstood? I don't understand springs

I play on a laptop and can't really do the "hold onto a chaotic and click without letting go". It would be nice if it was hold and press some key instead like space bar so its easier on laptop users! Or if it was even just an option to pick would be nice. 

And last maybe it would be nice to have Boss issue a rule book you can reference if you need to. I forgot how something worked (springs and the reactor overheating apparently?) and was just out of luck lol.

But I really do like this game a lot! Excited to see how it grows!

I actually really like this game! The goal is nice and simple, easy to get into the motions without feeling overwhelmed. The music is relaxing and art is so charming and well done. I love almost everything thats here. My only complaints are the hockey stick shaped packages and the location in the manual of the "the location needs a stamp" notice. I feel the notice page should be by the map/prices, I keep my page on the prices part of the manual so it was annoying to have to flip around that much when I needed to double check it. And the hockey stick is fine to have to ship (its an odd shape on purpose thats cool) but its annoying to put the postage on. It feels very finicky, and sometimes it would cover the part of the scale that shows the weight automatically and couldn't be moved. 

Just as some general suggestions if the game is still being added on to:

It would be really nice if this game eventually had more in between shifts content besides buying upgrades. Such as: Decorating the booth/office. Im thinking different wallpapers, desk textures, posters, shelfs that have things like plants or figurines or something on there and we need to buy all of it. That kind of stuff. Maybe personal letters you get to read. I suggest a window below, adding a seagull that shows up if we chose to purchase food for it.

Making the newspaper free and including things that it kind of already does but having it affect the flow of customers that day or the next day (as in the article says bad weather is expected so more people are coming in since theres now a rush to send out packages) and then if you wanted you could make a special newspaper that has predicted routes still. And then eventually the newspaper could be replaced by an expansive radio that gets set in the background on a shelf. 

To expand on the weather predictions: A window! Remind me I am by the sea! Show me the local weather!

Instead of just an upgrades page it would be cute if it was styled as a catalog we buy things from instead. It would feel like the world expands a little more just by that.

And lastly it would be nice if we can get to know repeat customers. Not everyone needs a story but a few people with unique portraits would be cool. Like a parent whos kid is in the service and getting care packages, a artisan shipping their strange shaped pieces, etc. Maybe if we ship enough of their things flawlessly they give us a decoration/5-piece stamp kit.

That makes sense thanks for replying! I cant wait for more of this you're doing a good job! If I can make any requests for down the line though, maybe more save spots?  They all get used easily now so that would be amazing for the future amount of content

So anyways I'm in love with Ren. Like, super in love. It would be appreciated if anyone could answer a few questions! Is this game projected to have 14 days total? And is there a rough time line its expected to update in/be finished by? Not to rush or anything I just found it today and really loved it so I just want to know if there was a timeline or if this is going to be randomly updated
