The mechanics is very fun and creative to play with!
This game needs practice and skill to become good at (sort of a typing game? But more than just typing because you also need to use mouse).
Some small suggestions from a personal pov:
I feel switching lanes with the arrow bar would be more intuitive, or w for up and s for down because arrow bar and mouse are not compatible. Then the color can be r for red, g for green, etc. Like in the typing game Cook Serve Delicious, foods are represented by their initial letter which make them really easy to remember and fun to type with.
Anyways, really fun game, I love how besides typing, you also have to do different shapes with mouse which adds a layer of chaos. I didn’t care too much about the select upgrade part though, maybe because I didn’t want to read, just wanted to get back into action.

Here you go! I just came from LD to play this game too: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/59/criminal-does-not-dream-of-wizard-boy-pol...

Olé!

Wow, thank you so much for the thoughtful suggestions! All your points are absolutely right. 2, 3, 5, 6 are quality of life improvements that are definitely needed and could be done. 1 and 4 (convenient way of switching reveal method and meaningful progression) have also been on my mind. 

For 1, I've been thinking of using a Minecraft inventory like way of scrolling with middle mouse button. Right click also works, probably will implement both and let player decide. Or I might save right click to flag. 

For 4, it needs a combination of adding new enemies and new item. I've also been thinking of removing the player level all together, and solely rely on items to progress. 

Thanks again for the great feedback!

Very cool! would you make more paid demos or tutorials? very curious about how you do textures and animations! they look and feel very unique.

Thanks for the recommendation! I played dragon sweeper and it is very good! I'm going to take the inspiration and add more enemy types in the next version. 

wow! You are definitely the farthest I know! The end game is not balanced at all. So thanks a lot for playing this little game this much! 

Strange. Looks like an itch problem, hope they fix it for you quickly. 

If you don't get a response here, you can also try to email them. I once emailed itch support about transferring a game's ownership between 2 accounts and they did it for me.  

Thanks! Great suggestion, definitely need to add improvements like this to make the counting easier. 

I got so much stuff and upgrades! but only 300 mo...hoped that the boss would award me 500 but he give me 0 (sad). 

There's so much stuff in this game! Feels like I already explored every place. Got the purple area but not the fish guy.  

 If you didn't do the purple screen you are missing out on some very exciting stuff XD

Thank you so much for playing! 

Yes, the right should have shown what's left but it was bugged. I ran out of time for the game jam, but this is on the top of the list of bugs to fix for sure. 

omg, good catch! I'll fix it. Bad math on me. 

Thanks for the vid, i like your stuff.
