Found a bug.
If you try to get an upgrade after the end of the game, it freezes.

Oof, thanks for playing and good find!

The game was created in two days, so I’m not at all surprised some bugs slipped through.

Thanks for playing!

if you press p you will instantly get a delivery, i got all the upgrades in less than 30 second

bro dont say anything,

they will fix it :(

That was a “cheat code” for testing the game that I decided to leave in. It’s even mentioned in the README.txt if you download the Windows build.

Not planning on patching it out. :)

the game crashes a lot for me. But also it's extremely funny. I didn't really get a specific error I think so I can't help a lot :I

Hey, a couple questions that might help narrow the issue down!

  • Are you running the game in browser or from the Windows build?
  • Does the crash seem to occur at random or at particular times?
  • Are you getting lag/low frame rate?

Windows, no lags, pretty random so far
