I was confuse for most of my gameplay but I like the graphics and the general mood :)

Good job <3

I got some SDV vibes with the music and font/sprite with the manager.

This really picked up the more you played. I like how you slowly introduced more mechanics

Wonderful introduction of mechanics, strong concept, and a really fun game. I'd play a full version of this for sure :)

Fun game. I feel like it's rare for game jam games to progress mechanically like that over the course of the game.

I didn't quite understand what I was supposed to do about the demons, though. The dialog said to "slap them around" but clicking on them or trying to slap them with a crystal didn't seem to do anything (although it could conceivably be a platfrom bug, since I was playing on Linux using Wine; incidentally, this is the first windows game so far that I've actually been able to successfully play via Wine).

Cool game! I liked the fact that you gradually introduced new mechanics into the game!

@3lstmsinatrenchcoat Totally fair- I meant to have a particle effect that plays when you click the demon, to provide that feedback, but I just ran out of time. Thanks for the input though!!

Great art, fits perfectly with game theme

Awesome game. I love these kind of frantic management games, and this one was executed really well! Loved the art and the music was really good, super fun entry. Awesome work!

Really interesting game! It took me a second go to truly understand what I was doing wrong so a tutorial that showed me the ropes a little more would have been nice but once I got the hang of it, it was really fun.

I loved the hectic frantic type of gameplay, more and more layers of things having to be maintained, first it's just keep an eye on the angle, and feed the fire, then feed gems to make fuel to feed the fire, oh and now watch the heat, oh and now DEMONS. I also love the fact you were really cartoony and gave everything faces which not only is charming and has its own style, means you could treat them like a living thing/feed them, so animations that arose from this of having them be ready for fuel or crystals with an open mouth, it's really readable and friendly.

This is a really cracking game and the only downside is the music was a bit too repetitive. I also would have liked a final score at the end of "you got X feet/floors down"

I made it to about 105 down and had a blast, great job and a solid entry.
