Kids about to go crazy over the title
the last thing it sucked in was my cpu
Actually kind of fun, took me around 25 minutes to beat the demo.
Honestly, only feedback is about frames, which I'm sure you devs have gotten before seeing as 80% of the comments are about that.
Nice upgrades, they feel impactful enough, but I wish there was another upgrade system, or perks, or something of the sort.
Really nice job regardless, if frames issue is fixed and the game can extend well past - or maybe a prestige system - I could see it being very very fun.

Just beat the demo, love the gameplay with the sound effects and music, lowkey making it addictive, I also love the roguelike and upgrade mechanics. Looking forward to the release of the game! Easy 5 stars.
Just one small bug (I think?) in the browser, when in the upgrade tree, if you drag your mouse to somewhere outside the game, going back to the game does not need to left click to drag until you left click.

hole.io if it was good:
The demo has a pretty short game time, but a little balancing and more content in the actual game would fix that all.
Fun: katamari meets nodebuster. Not sure what a steam version can really bring beyond the browser version but I did enjoy this demo
As you approach the end of the demo the fever dream every 30 seconds is quite hypnotizing. Looking forward to seeing where you go with it. Great demo
it kill people, and it kill my frames
The game's good, but the one thing that confuses me is that the "k" is the term for "100000", usually, k means kilo, and kilo means thousand, so 1000=1k, not 100000=1k, but either than that, good game.
developer response: Hey thanks for pointing out, this was a silly mistake by me in the recent update. I have fixed the values correctly! Cheers
finished the demo, a bit short but fun. lags a bit though on a 7600x and 3090 near the end (not rly noticeable, but would likely be bad on my old laptop) and doesnt seem to have anything rly unique to set it apart from other games like this other than it being that hole game
just completed the game. this was the first nodelike i played, really gave a good impression on the genre.
would there be away to take currently made data over to the full game when its released or would i have to start over?

developer response: Hey, in the full version the pacing will be different and redesigned for longer sessions so there wouldn't be demo progress carry-over
its satisfying, but gets boring and repetitive way too fast, and i really dont see how its unique enough from other nodelikes to be worth paying money for. fps issues are very apparent, and the balancing definetly needs work, as you break the game really fast (beat the demo in like 15 minutes). every run feels the same, thats my main problem. for me its a 3/5 just because the core idea is satisfying and the visuals are pretty polished.
10/10. 5/5. Absolutely love this. The tree feels like a full damn forest, its satisfying, and there is a variety. Only bad thing is that this game gets so laggy that it can literally copyright lag. Overwise, I will probable buy this!!
Took me 35 minutes, roughly.

Definitely fun! As others have said it is slower on some devices but I'm on a budget phone so it's not major.
hole.io😱😱
Was fun as every comment has said there are fps issues once you are eating probably 100s of objects per seccond in the laye game
Fun game, but destroys low-end computers.
a hole lot of fun. hehe
This was unexpectedly satisfying. Can't wait to try out the final game
