How are people still playing this 'game'?
The developer actively makes it as hard and illogical as humanly possible to unlock content, fucks you over if you try to circumvent the grind with cheats/codes, expects you to waste all of your time testing out avenues with no clues or prompts or indication of progression. All the while telling you that the game is easy. YEAH, I'm sure it fucking is if you're the one making the thing!! For everyone else it's borderline impossible, and that WITH a spanglish walkthrough that barely makes sense...
I used to be a $20 supporter but after the dev started adding in events that lead to ACTUAL game-overs I just said enough was enough and dropped the pledge. I honestly think that's the only way to make the dev make his game better, hit him in the pocket. While people pay him to fuck them over and waste their time he will continue to laugh maniacally while making impossibly grindy/obtuse games that have nice pictures BUT - JUST - AREN'T - WORTH - THE - EFFORT.
