NOTE FROM THE DEVELOPER:
Thank you for even looking at this game, wishlisting it, and possibly buying it! This was my first ever learner project that also acted as a source of therapy during a rough time in my late 20's. The game quality is very low, gameplay is the same boring loop, which is why it's cheap and goes on huge sales often. I appreciate your support in my journey and felt it was the right thing to include this little blurb in the full description. Thank you!
