[h3]A relaxing, low-stakes loop saved by responsive developers. 🧼🔧[/h3] [b]👍 The Good[/b] [list] [*] [b]Satisfying Core Loop:[/b] The gameplay provides the exact kind of low-stakes, incremental progression needed to decompress. The core mechanics are highly satisfying, paired with genuinely charming graphics. 😌 [*] [b]Accessibility:[/b] The inclusion of a toggle option for using tools—rather than forcing the player to hold down a button—is a massive mechanical plus. ⚙️ [*] [b]Developer Responsiveness:[/b] This is the primary reason for the positive rating. The developers released a patch directly addressing major mechanical bottlenecks within days of launch. That level of turnaround deserves major props. 👏 [/list] [b]⚠️ The Day-1 Caveat (Addressed via Patch)[/b] My initial playthrough on day one suffered from a highly unbalanced skill tree and a tedious end-game grind. Refining materials took far too long, forcing mindless extra runs just to farm safes. It felt like a sloppy way to artificially pad the playtime. However, the developer's immediate patch notes specifically target these exact issues by reducing upgrade costs, increasing refined resources in safes, and adding processing speed upgrades. Since the game has minimal replay value, I haven't re-tested the end-game myself, but the speed and specificity of this patch justify the recommendation. 📉➡️📈 [b]👎 The Bad[/b] [list] [*] [b]Ergonomics / Controls:[/b] Despite the welcome "toggle" option for the tools, the constant need to click the left and right mouse buttons to switch equipment caused me wrist strain. The reduced end-game grind from the new patch might mitigate how long you have to endure this, but mechanically, the equipment swapping could probably benefit from a less taxing alternative control scheme. 🖱️💢 [/list]

面白かったし値段相応ではあったけど、実績コンプの為に最終ステージを何十週とさせられたのはあまりに虚無だったから、クリア後の稼ぎステージくらいは欲しかったかも。

I've still got plenty more to play - just writing a preliminary review to say: Basically every problem people have raised in their negative reviews has been addressed by the developer. The game in its current state has been changed to accomodate the issues people have mentioned in their reviews. It's in a really solid state, it's fun to play, the pacing is quite good, and the variety of action is good as well.

fun and chill, very enjoyable
