I found a bug in the game, it's giving me the "Internal Affairs Officers" affect even after i've started a new game. It seems it did it when I closed out intentionally? Idk. I love your game by the way!
FYI, the books don't transform into bookshelves. Maybe I don't understand how the interaction is supposed to work, but the books are just self-destructing without adding any bookshelves into my militia.
Great game otherwise!
Edit: I got a bookshelf, so it does work, but I'm still not sure why it only worked after destroying around 8 books.
Second Edit: the book strategy feels extremely weak. You need the writer, who deals 0 damage to generate a bunch of books. The books also deal 0 damage, and you need them to generate a bookshelf. And then the bookshelf, finally... deals 0 damage but increases the damage of your librarians! I haven't even found a single librarian yet! The strategy requires you to jump through a lot of loops for a very strange payoff.
if I can provide some more feedback, I think there should be more ways to remove your troops. Especially those 5 civilians at the start of the game, it feels like you're permanently playing with 20 free spots because you couldn't find IA
Grey Goo + Golden Goo is by far the best combo i've seen. I beat every boss in about 2 rounds and the last boss was like 4 rounds. Each Golden Goo was dealing about 200 damage.
they also grow up to create more OP cockatrice, or eat their eggs to gain power, its very OP, I once got it on Kull, then fumbled the run, made it to sixth boss. Deathworm and replicating spider would also be a good duo
What build did you finish the game with? As far as I can tell there are only 2 or 3 pieces that can possibly beat the game, because only those pieces scale exponentially. Grey goo+Gold Goo, Hellhound...???
With Hellhound alone I eventually had almost every space filled with hellhounds, and still couldn't get past level 10. That makes every other "good" piece look worthless.
It seems like one of the only builds that can do the 1000 dp/turn that you need to beat the 10th boss. If you got enough webbing you could theoretically do it with the Arakh, but I think your damage would accelerate too fast and you would end up facing the final boss without enough webbing to consistently deal 1000+ (you need 10 contiguous webs+arakh), or you would accelerate too slow and die on an earlier boss.
do you know what actions you did to glitch it? i.e. could you reproduce it? Would love to know if its a bug, I haven't had any reports of this. Thanks!
To be honest I wasn't expecting too much of this game, but this is one of the best roguelikes that I've played. Definitely would play the full version.
If you planning to doing some translation for PT-BR I can help you.
This game is a blast! The massive amount of different units you can have allows for a large variety of potential strategies. It also makes for some very funny combinations. The different terrain and constructs you can have also adds a lot of depth to the game. I really like the art for units and bosses as well, it's a great retro throwback! I’m definitely going to be playing this a lot more! Awesome work on this!

thanks for the feedback! we are trying to collect data on balancing. Yeah sounds like they might need a small tweak.

we are looking into adding more mechanics...
portal + demon slayer for the win
Grey Goo + Golden Goo is by far the best combo i've seen. I beat every boss in about 2 rounds and the last boss was like 4 rounds. Each Golden Goo was dealing about 200 damage.
woah!
combine that w/ replicating spiders :)
cockatrice egg best unit. undebatable
they grow up mean to hunmans!
they also grow up to create more OP cockatrice, or eat their eggs to gain power, its very OP, I once got it on Kull, then fumbled the run, made it to sixth boss. Deathworm and replicating spider would also be a good duo
i got to lvl 10 after hours of playing
Great game, I love you Dejobaan Games, please make more stuff.
Finally after 3 days I finished the game. It was very fun.
Tried to make the build Demon's Slayer + Hellhound but no luck to pick these two together.

Yeah, I did with hellhound portal. It's the easiest build if you get in early game

the "internal aifairs officer" is pretty risky due to glitching but its an amazing fun game .
The glitch prevents the game from moving foward, and sometimes persists even after resetting the run.
For me it's the best deployment for fix messed up builds haha.
do you know what actions you did to glitch it? i.e. could you reproduce it? Would love to know if its a bug, I haven't had any reports of this. Thanks!
I got to #9 🥺
"Death Worm Central!"
I like the way you think about Garbage Collectors...
Amazing game! One recommendation would be providing descriptions of things monsters turn into, so I know if I want to use it!
yeah, the chaos of this work of art is like a good acid trip. very confusing but fun. 10/10
Cycad and Cycad Tenndril have their descriptions exchanged
Very good game!
good catch!! and thank you!
Also, the description page for Diabeet shows the name Chonk Monster instead of the correct name
A lot of fun, really impressed with the variety of interactions. I must suck though cause I can't seem to make it past the 5th boss, my rng sucks...
Haha y'all made it harder since I last played. Congrats on getting it out there, great game!
looks great, cant wait for a full versio

Awesome game seems a coplete release, would love to buy it on a store
