Heartbreaking ending! So close Jan!

Some friendly tips whether you do more streams or just play alone! I'm not gonna tell you there's a specific way or card set you need to play but hopefully just some helpful ideas to think on.

  • Try to think a little bit more about how the gear you're equipping compliments a build, whether that's evasion, more health, counter, etc. You're not always going to have a perfect build going, and will probably have to change a build a few times per run because of what loot gets generated. But now that you have things like Dunes and Thickets providing you buffs and the level up buffs like the one you got that increases max health on each trophy pickup, you might not have to solely just take the highest number loot each time.
  • Every loop the enemies (and the boss get more powerful), and while it's not like you want to face the boss on the first loop or anything, generally speaking I would consider trying to face them earlier than you ended up getting to them in this run. Doing this is going to require placing down more cards more quickly.
  • As an addition to the previous point, you may want to consider placing more enemy spawners on the map/not always eliminating spawners when you can. Harder enemies give more/better loot, and several times you mentioned how you just weren't getting good loot. When the boss showed up you only had 4 active enemy spawners, some only providing 1 enemy every few days, and the rest were all slimes. The game is a constant balance between not wanting to put too many spawners down and die, but when you put things like villages down (or the Ransacked Village becomes the Count's Land) think about what spawners can go near there now you have extra healing, more spots for quests, etc. As a specific example I like to have one Ransacked village going at a time, and when one transforms I'll put down another Vampire Mansion next to an existing normal village, and then maybe place a spawner near the new Count's Land.

I enjoyed this game quite a bit. This is also completely the opposite from how I played this game. I was always fighting the boss by at the latest loop 8. Your way definitely is a much more chill morning way to play though, which was nice!

I'm so glad that it was fixed from Breakfast n Ben to Ben n Breakfast...was driving me crazy to see Ben playing under that banner. However I am glad to see that the Jan n Juice is perfectly executed right off the bat.

I had to open up my own stats to check, but jesus. I've beaten the third boss more than once by this point and the highest loop number I've ever gotten to was twelve. And Jan's just here casually getting up to twenty-three! ^^'

Almost yelled at the screen seeing how much evasion those boots gave, because I do not see those kinds of numbers down here.

I finished it yesterday and it was definitely more of a "the curse is finally lifted!" feeling than any sort of sense of accomplishment. It becomes more and more of an idle game as you progress and once it takes like 3 hours of semi-managed idling to reach a boss it's just not fun anymore.

There can never be too much Jan.

But if one Jan n Juice is just like an early morning running stream with crappy phone wifi in a neighborhood park? Yea, I'd be down LOL (Or on the peloton or anything else. But you know.)
