How is it even possible to make a game like this lag consistently? Everything is done in discrete intervals. I can understand lag spikes when processing all the units, but why do effects like tax accountant or mermaid or whatever cause the game itself to lag?

Edit: I figured it out, it's the draw calls! The lag happens whenever the figures get multiple different symbols, like multiple plusses or shields etc

I found a cool interaction I think it was with Mimic and Vampire where the Vamp will Drain the mimic's Power but the Mimic will still do its damage since it copies the highest monster's power. I got like 5 or 6 vamps doing over 5k each plus the Thing that gives everything 2x damage but hurts you. Yeah very cool

Darrrr + rat king = infinite damage, apparently

Just beat it finally!

One Tap!

das crazy

I pulled a win with arak, some game devs, thief, and the monkey goo to spice it up. Good game

Great  game. I bought it on steam yesterday. Is there going to be a build released on itch? I'd like to have a DRM-free copy I can play on my work computer without installing steam

Also managed to snag a win with game developers and a few cloning chambers that duplicated them several times over. Ironically my developers were dealing quite a lot of damage by themselves comparable to my water pieces (despite the latter all receiving an effective 4x damage multiplier due to being buffed by all 4 game devs at once) simply due to the absurd amount of assorted buffing items I had heaped onto them.

(Also Trevor was completely accidental and actually hurt the build by transforming water into whisky that didn't benefit from focus shrine; I simply didn't get the chance to remove him in the end)

Good game! Here are my suggestions:

- Allow selling/remove units. It's frustrating when I can't remove unused units, and allowing selling units would make strategy more flexible.

- Allow buying units on the first turn instead of civilians.

holy cow.

anarchist should be immune to explosions.

Really fun game! Won with beasts the first time, but hacker+sheep+that demon that eats beasts is absolutely nuts. Had them do 10k damage in a turn, def will keep an eye out for the game!!

Rat king + paramedics combination is unbeatable!

With [8 Rat kings, 6 Paramedics and 4 Diversity Demons, 5 Rats + something random for the div. demons] it one-shots 70% of the bosses (this run is on pain diff.)

It was a fun run.

Had a fun run being incredibly picky about what I added. Used IAs to remove my starting civilians, got an apprentice thief and a leader flag. Ended up with two journeyman thieves and three leader flags, hardly anything else so the thieves always got the multipliers. Thieves won the game on their own, especially if the three multipliers landed on the same one.

My best run so far. Archer + hypercharger is such a great combo, but so hard to set up!  Could have been even bigger if I positioned archer further.
Fun fact: This was my biggest damage ever then I remembered I didn't use mayday so I did. My computer actually crashed after it started showing end screen after clicking victory.
Fun fact 2: thanks to that crash, I was able to try it again and again. Unfortunately, this was actually the best run. Its all in arack positioning. I wish I knew where the game keeps its save files so I could share it with others.

anarchists are so bad but soooo fun.

So, I drafted a Rat King into my militia...

i do not have enough humans to sacrifice to the venus mantrap

Liked the game's mechanics and art style. I have played this game before but it's interesting how it became more balanced now and that you can create more synergies to progress more.  Enjoyed the game overall!  

The synergies in this newest version are amazing!

1. Game Developer adds its power to all pieces with 0 base power, then basically gains 1 power each turn. I had three to four of these.

2. Crimson Terror marks Beasts for destruction, absorbing their bonus power.

3. Sheep are Beasts that have 0 base power, but have a chance to multiply.

4. Darrrrrrr and Aegis protect Beasts.

I had a Crimson Terror with over 1,000 power. I one-shot Boss 12 with the Mayday.

I also had the Thief, which stole base power from my pieces and made them viable targets for the Game Developers.

Aegis + Secret Chest was also a very lucky combo, where the Aegis protected the chest multiple times in a row, allowing me to get several rares.

Note: If you have an Extra Life, do NOT take Recycler, or it WILL eat the Extra Life (which is an Item).

Loving the changes and new synergies, particularly the new monster content. Keep up the good work, folks!

This was supposed to be a sheep + Red Dragon build... until I found an ascetic. 

(Also props to the recruiter demon for spawning an extra life that got protected by my aegis 3 turns in a row. I didn't really need all that extra life, but who am I to complain?)
