Well, at some point that just becomes a classic adventure game. Not that that is a bad thing - I'd love to see more folks playing with the balance of gameplay and text.
A classic, in more ways than one...! After quickly revisiting the original game, I feel that the jumping physics actually feel a bit better in your version.
The inverted camera control made it really tricky, but it is a fun concept. Some sort of terrain to force you to control your momentum could really add a lot to it, I think.
I enjoyed it, though tuning wise it seems that it may well be faster to save up for all/most of the next tier before ascending, which was at least unusual back when I was into idlers. Of course, balancing this kinda game usually takes longer than everything else! I for one welcome Earth's scaly new owner.
I was going to comment on the painful noise that played constantly while it is running but after seeing Retinas' comment I wonder whether that was a bug rather than part of the game(possibly a sound mixing issue?)
10/10 ending. Seriously, though, really good vibes, funny writing, and generally fun. Not a fan of the control scheme, though, especially since if it lists the controls anywhere I didn't see it.
It took a bit for me to figure out just what I was doing, but the interface is effective! Curious where you'd planned to take this; fleshing out all the interactions, or maybe adding other gameplay elements...?
I got it to work, though I was getting weird glitches where visual elements didn't align- this was especially noticeable on the tutorial, though it was more of an issue when I didn't notice(until too late) where the culling line looked to be above the text but was below it.
