I've sunk a lot of time into this game. $20 is a good price. It's a little unbalanced imo. A little bit grindy for my taste. The gameplay loop is fun, but it takes a fairly long time, about 30-45 minutes for one run. It can take longer depending on difficulty. Each run nets you between 6-10 of what can be considered XP points which you use for upgrades, and a typical upgrade costs 30-100 XP. So you'll be playing hours of gameplay to unlock a perk which isn't rewarding enough for the time. They unlock a basic upgrade like 2% movement speed for your workers, and then something a little more unique like allowing you to select a different item to bring with you on a run. I have done probably 40-50 runs and it just doesn't feel rewarding enough for the time it takes for each run. Also, the runs always end right when you're getting your "flow". It's fun but they should take a deeper look into the core gameplay loop and make some fundamental changes.
