Very neat package! I would have loved to get some more automatic resources or have the prices/city health be a bit less. Had to stop before completing the whole thing (I did get all upgrades at least once though!) to save myself from tendonitis :smile:

Minor nitpick; with this style of idling/incremental game, it'd be nice if the game didn't pause when the window loses focus. Would also have liked if some of the upgrades didn't start so weak - there's a lot of growth as things level, but several of the perks are pretty weak at level 1 with really small values.

Other than that, it's pretty well made.

The Soul Frenzy ability is a little strong; the game ended basically 5 minutes after I got it. But balance is one of the last things to worry about and this is a very neat little game! Good length for an LD game thanks to the Soul Frenzy (Daniel sure takes his time throwing fireballs :P ) Great audio and fun visuals.

Hey, it looks like there is an error with the web version in this page!

Anyway, played on itch. I enjoyed it, love idle/incrementals. The upgrades were nice and the mix of getting souls and attacking to decrease health is cool.

Good job overall!!

I had so much fun clicking! Daniel is absolutely right: destroy the city! The only thing I'd change is having to open Powers screen to choose from. It would be great to have it to the side, so I could upgrade while watching the rats jump into the pit and the fireballs fly towards the city folks

I enjoyed this, really neat game! I would have liked to have more abilities that multiply the number of rats flying into the pit, for ultimate clicker-game satisfaction. I need _quadrillions_ of them. Good job!

Oh, I didn't expect to be so engaged in a clicker, the clear objective really did it to me, the art is very cute and I love seeing the rats jumping in the hole and the city crumbling down

It's a great game, and I can't wait to see Daniel destroy the whole world!
