This is a cute concept for a game, but the idea of something like this having microtransactions just squicks me. We already have microtransactions in so many things that it feels... gross in this context. I enjoyed the story, silly as it tends to be. It was fun. Good job and I hope you guys continue, my own discomfort nonwithstanding.
Hi! We're a team of three, and unfortunately, we also need to eat. We understand your discomfort, but we made sure the main game is completely free — so no one has to pay. Gems are only used for optional extras.
Honestly, we're not huge fans of them either, but this felt like the fairest solution for both us and the players.
Thanks so much for playing!
