    I don’t really remember how I got it to this setup, mostly by getting a bunch of the discard symbol tools and then just pruning it down to something like this where one of those wildcard symbols will generate about 2.4e per spin

    I have no idea how to play the game, it just felt too random for me. Maybe I’m missing something or maybe I need to play more, but other games in the genre feel like they provide more ways to control the randomness or more skill etc.

      It functions a lot like a deckbuilder. There are a few symbol combos that are pretty easy to win with, if you pick up ores/geologist or fruits/ms fruit you’ll do ok.

      The biggest thing is that you should keep your deck really small. Ideally around 20 symbols so you get all of them each spin. Definitely use your rerolls, use your removes, and (after the early game) skip anything that isn’t a great fit for your build.

      Yes, “do these symbols end up adjacent” can be pretty random, but that’s why you surround a few high value symbols (like ms fruit) with an ocean of things they want to be next to (fruit)

    It uses at least 64-bit ints. You’ll need a lot of black cat essences, and ideally a couple of popsicle items (though popsicle essences do still help) to overflow anything.

      yeah, I’m just being silly
      it’s just the highest score I’ve ever had (well now I’m past a million :p)

      I’m pretty sure I can’t lose any more with this set of symbols, my attention span will be what ends this run haha

      What pushed me over the edge was a buffing capsule that triggered at the same time as the spy glass. I got like 10,000 in one roll 😁

        If you get a good run after unlocking essences, the game might lag enough to stop you before your attention span runs out. It can get pretty silly with 13 cats, 10 golden arrows, and a cow.
