Nice Nethacky ascii vibe. Can lead to some true idling where it's nice to just read a book & let the sweeper do its thing. Idk, some ppl don't like shorter ones but I'm into em. They feel more exploratory with unique one-off ideas & experimentation with less common mechanics. Keep bringing the light!
still wish this game was expanded a lot more. it's a very addicting mechanic/loop/aesthetic. i'm afraid its far far more interesting/fun than any of yhvr's other games. they're good too but this one had the most potential. i made a prototype of a game just like it with far more content and depth in just a couple hours. i wouldn't ever release it because i worked off the source code of this game as a basis for the prototype so it would be nothing short of ripping off his game.
developer response: This applies to most incremental developers, not just me, but personally I'd be honored if someone were to mod a game I had made--I wouldn't be mad about any sort of "ripping off". Feel free to post it!
I'd be really curious to see how you managed to expand upon the concept so thoroughly in just a few hours, since a lot of development decisions made during the game's development make expanding upon the pre-existing code particularly challenging.
Even if you don't want to post it, feel free to send me a PM. I'd be curious to see what you have made!
i get 128 base gain after prestiging i think im done with the game
clearing the map is sooooooooo satisfying!
I love beating the game over and over to get tons of exponential buffs

Great concept, wish there was a futher prestige system or different levels. Overall an interesting experience.
Short but worth playing
poor dark numbers aint do nothin wrong, release my man
developer response: I don't think the theme of the game was ever entirely made clear, but it's inspired by those mobile games that had areas of the map obscured by darkness until you reached a certain level. It's inspired by those
concept gets old after a while but the game is pretty good. 4/5
either moving is broken or i dont get it
developer response: I know you figured it out, but I'll reply anyways. To move you can use WASD or the arrow keys. You'll need to click on the game to "focus" it for your moves to start being made.
On mobile, a touchpad appears that lets you make moves.
