Thank you so much for playing and for taking the time to write this! I'm really glad the combo bar and the rock changes landed, and that Pebbs' quips made you smile (the neighbor still hasn't forgiven me).
You were right about the tutorial popups, so I've just updated the demo: tips now wait until you stop clicking, there's more breathing room between them, and they never cover the rock anymore. Only the urgent ones (geodes, golden meteors, bosses) still pop up right away.
Thanks again, feedback like this really helps a one-person studio!
