Fantastic game. At first it was a bit difficult to figure out what each thing did. If you ever wanted to expand it i would only suggest to make the best choices depend on synergies rather than what's better. That being said its Very fun for its length
Oh also the lumpytouch touch is great as always love the style and the eerieness
We'll likely keep this one just a weird little game jam experiment, but I definitely agree when it comes to synergies! I wanted to have more, but the only real "synergy" as-is is that curly hair is very powerful if you have accelerated growth.
once again confirming to me that i was right to hate flying bugs. This game rocks!
sometimes i would get a perm by mistake because I was already clicking to shoot, other than that, perms are very OP, just perm anime-protagonist hair and mane-like and you basically win by default
Just like in anime, protagonist hair is OP. But thanks for your feedback! The difficulty will likely be tuned up a bit in the post-jam version.
Not even 10 minutes in, and i already beaten the game. Pretty good simple game.
