I first reviewed this before a few updates, mostly concerning the easily exploitable AI, the problem isn't 100% fixed as of this review, but it is a hell of a lot less consistent to be able to pull off, and hopefully with further updates won't be possible at all. Since then, the fighting has been updated to be a lot more readable and engaging and it is honestly a very very fun game with many different ways to approach combat, naturally unfinished and still quite buggy, but more than promising, it's a genuinely fun experience.

Cute little game, somewhat interesting mechanics, underbaked but from a jam I couldn't ask for more than something unique and charming like this.

This shit's tight as hell and there's no other way to put it.

The difficulty scaling on the damage side is a bit much and it can feel pretty bad when you repeatedly get the same spells/relics with no chance at variety, some sort of reroll system for a new weapon/relic might go some way towards fixing that. On the other hand, it's very fun, the idea is pretty good- and while curses can feel overly punishing it also keeps the gameplay refreshing.

It has a lot of moving parts and they're not all necessarily equal in quality, but as far as idle games on S&Box goes, it's probably the most feature complete / well made one. My main gripes is that the tower defense portion is a little lacking, both in tower strategy and in the towers themselves. The bullet speed is too low and often unless placed directly facing a straight line they'll miss shots consistently, even the sniper tower. Aside from that, it's a very standard idle game but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Makes me feel like my dad. 10/10.
