I’m curious how you can show arbitrary webpages within your web app. Do you save a snapshot of each page and serve that?

Thanks for checking this out! I need to fix the mouse/trackpad user experience.

If anyone wants to see more of the game in the meantime, this link exposes the debug menu where you can advance pretty quickly by cheating to get more resources:

Thanks for playing!

I spent several weeks worth of nights on this project and put a lot of thought into the experience, though I exclusively played it on touch devices.

I need to test the mouse user experience.

Precision matters less in this game than it may seem. It’s ok to spam clicks because there are no resource constraints. It might mess up the layout of the build you were planning, but it will not impact completing the story. In fact, I imagined this game as a sort of clicker game where the progression and scaling up matters more than precision.
