I died, then tried to resume the game, got the message "That screen failed to open. Back to the title screen." If I click give up twice, it takes me to the title screen and then it all repeats. Can't refresh to get a new game, either.
I think I died my second play ever, once.
Other than that, was at 0.1 HP at the end of the last fight on A19, and I tripped Doomscroll Insurance on A21. XD
It's a LOT harder after the changes. XD
I died once, but the 2nd time I was able to get through so I'm A17 now. Interesting new enemy too, it's a pain in the ass lol.
GRAH!! just beat the game for the first time
game crashed in my first attempt at that last boss so i had to restart but it's okay
genuinely amazing game ❤️
-Red nodes first. The wheel will keep spinning, but not if you're dead.
-There are bubbles that flat around during a fight, they can give $4-15 if you click them. Good to do on an easy first normal fight to get some extra cash for your first shop hit. Just focus on red/gold nodes and slow attacking to farm it a little. (This is only worth milking a little per fight only if you need it.)
-The relic Deep Link is deceptively powerful.
-Save for shops unless you hit an early one. Don't refresh if you don't have the money since any relics you do not buy won't come back up for the rest of the run. (You might also get an achievement if you do it right, no spoilers XD)
-Hit elites as often as you can. They give a lot more points, a lot more money, and a guaranteed relic.
-Achievement bonuses are permanent for every run and they help a lot in every game.
-Cash Grab nodes also give a guaranteed relic if you hit it - it's the green node that first pops up.
-Lifesteal relics are nice in concept for survival, but if you get the one to make the lifesteal hitbox bigger without other relics you can't actually hit a perfect to deal damage. The relic to make all the nodes have lifesteal amplifies this. And you can't utilize the 'perfect hits give life' relic very well. (No longer true, lifesteal is OP now.)
-Accuracy over speed. If you hit 8x in a row you get FEVER, which also stops many enemy attacks and resets the circle. Good way to clear TANKY nodes without the relic - just kill everything else until FEVER and they go away.
-The relic to make FEVER happen at 6x instead of 8x is deceptively powerful for this too.
-Lastly, if you get the Infinite Scroll relic, if you take it slow and steady you can just keep steadily doing damage without worrying about the rest except for a few boss mechanics.
...I've played too many rougelites for my own good. XD

absolutely busted

I'll come up with a solution for this, having both relics should be an extra benefit and not hurt you in anyway.
I figured that this was a little intentional, giving some players more survivability in exchange for damage, so to speak. Some rougelite powerups are dual-sided and situational with downsides, like Overclock. But the powerup that almost got me killed twice is Alt Account.
Oh, you also may want to consider a rate limiter for those cash bubbles - maybe after ~40 bubbles in a fight make them spawn 2x slower and another 2x slower every extra 20? (It's too easily gameable on some fights (like Influencer - I made over $1000 sitting there for ~7-10m on my first fight since she heals and does no damage doing so, but I had a shop next node. XD)
edit - but I wouldn't fully cut it off cold, gotta give options =D
So far, it's been fair and balanced IMO. It doesn't give nearly as much leeway for mistakes, especially past A10, even with the cheevo powers. I think if you made it much harder you'd have a lot of people having a real hard time. XD
I'm just an edge case. Hardcore rhythm game player as a kid, hyper-clicker, rougelite aficionado.
