How do I reset this game without clearing all of my browsers cookies?
I started the game, mentalized the 300ish times it took to run out of Mind, and now I have 300 strength and nothing happens. There is no hard reset to fix it, and if I remove the localStorage save it restores itself before I refresh. I have to vote 1/5 for now since the game is broken but I'll return to it later
no settings?
developer response: Soon
RE: to developer.
I would say have both strength and mind once unlocked have a gain of maybe 1/second with a cap of 300 so as to avoid a resource exhaustion softlock like i experieced cause i just wasnt thinking. but considering edge cases is also a good idea when starting out.
refreshed and everything is gone, including the main button.

You messed up somewhere. I am soft-locked out of Matter. I can't create any Matter from any source. I have 0, and I need something called Matter Pulp for the Matterer. Doesn't seem like there's anything I can do. Bad design flaw.
developer response: I got excited and published it too early, it's actually still unfinished. Sorry. I have put a "Coming soon" in the Matterer to clarify
as for suggestions to prevent an early soft lock of this nature, i would recommend adding a way to gain mind/strength at a slow rate at first(and/or) a manual way of doing so and maybe add something to increase the rate of mind/strength gain
developer response: At the beginning I actually had Mind slowly growing, I'll think about it. Was it clear that you also need Matter to Reify? As for increasing gain, the Generators are there, do you think they come too late? Anyway, I want to find a way to avoid any softlock.
i love the concept. i will come back to this once it's more stable
i got everything unlocked up to alchemy, got 100 pure dust and decided to not continue until the game is more polished. i enjoyed it and hope to see more progress soon. also if you would consider making the text outlined or larger/bolder, possibly just a different font, because as is it's quite hard on the eyes atm. couldn't see shadow or purified things' values, barely made out their names, couldn't read alchemy upgrade cost until i had my face inches from my screen. otherwise good game, excited to see more
Amazing idea! However, I feel like the game would be slightly more intuitive if you had some sort of help key for the beginning, like "if you reify X you get Y dust" etc.
developer response: I was planning on showing what you spend and what you gain on hover
