I cannot believe how much time I spent playing this. In fact, I am still playing this! You have done such an amazing job with such a simple idea. If I can, my only feedback is that the battle system is REALLY hard for me. If there were keyboard shortcuts to block I wouldn't complain, but having to mouse to block is too much. I ended optimizing by letting one on the left or right die and then praying I could block eno…

Same. I think it's probably easier on a touch screen than with mouse, but I'm stuck on level 10 for now. Maybe it's intentionally frustrating. Need to finish this level to unlock the last number I think, but I guess I've I've sunk enough time into it and will let it rest there.

Do people like "gacha"? I thought people played games for the game experience, story, etc, and the gacha is just the monetization mechanic. It's like making a big deal out of paying $20 bucks a month, or buying loads of DLCs for example.

I've seen people stop wanting to play a game after they removed gacha mechanics for their monetization in favor of just a skin shop. There are legitimate addicts.

There once was an rpg that had you move boxes around and fight random box encounters, and the battles were likewise just deducting each other's hp in turn with a rng. There was no dialogue I can recall. Basically similar spirit but I remember playing it in the mid 2000s.

I might be misremembering but your characters also had "spells," a menu for attacks but each attack was a random string of characters.

OP, it would be fun to have a letterboxd / imdb list of all of the movies the quotes are from unless i just got incredibly lucky and all of the numbers I rolled were movie related and other numbers have quotes from other places

You can't just have that. It won't feel good unless you unlock it with honest gacha!
