Completed the game, I would say being able to focus the line lenght makes no sense since it doesn't XP,
Obviously more tutorialization would be great.
The Hands are pretty useless except for automating the Errands, I learned about the errands only after 1 hour playing in since I didn't even see, the button looks like an info button.
Balancing wise, I don't understand the purpose of the stars, I guess I maxed everything to level 100 for fun, but still don't get it. It does really lack information of the purpose of each upgrades.
I think it's cool to have infinite leveling but since there is no goal nor prestige it's kinda hard as a perfectionnist to take pleasure in that, I would prefer harder level while upgradinng into a level 100 CAP for exemple.
Also the upgrades for learning are too sneaky.
The lore are just quest, I like the themed thing, but sometimes simple words are easier.
Overall the balancing is not amazzing, it's super easy to XP things and snowball, and it becomes rapidly a waiting game + luck based game into just clicking anything upgradables that are not basic skills.
The whole rest is good, just the game design balance that needs some work imo.
Thanks so much for playing all the way through and writing this up, it's really useful. You're right about quite a lot of it. The Casting practice is bugged and not giving XP, and that's being fixed now. The errands were far too hidden, so as of today they have their own tab at the top. Stars and upgrades are getting plain descriptions of what they actually do, and the next skills to learn will be much easier to spot. I'm also looking hard at the balance, since snowballing into just clicking everything isn't what I want it to feel like. A proper goal is coming too, with seasons that work a bit like a prestige. If you fancy another go after the next update I'd love to hear if it feels better. Would just like to say thank you once again for the post as it means a lot that you played it and the feedback is priceless.
Ha, sorry about that. Did it play the whole ending again as soon as you loaded in, or did you just land the Lamplighter again straight away? If it's the first one that's a bug I want to squash.
Since I had a lot of stats I guess it just got the drop of the last legendary fish, or maybe it was already in and I hadn't that luck before I don't know !
You could easily upgrade the gameplay a lot by adding a prestige after that that allows to go Shallow 5 + having better grinding + more level on things, maybe another type of upgrades/farms..
