This game was really cute! not sure if i'd really call it a roguelite but it was definitely worth the time I put into it, good luck on your future games <3
Sometimes you stumble upon a game that makes you realize not every game idea has been made before. That there's an infinite number of ways a game idea can be turned into a game because of how unique the developer's thought process, decisions, and inspirations are. That gives me hope and motivation to saddle up and make a game again, just for the fun of it. This is one of those games.
From the very start, the objective was clear without much tutorialization: eat food, sell food at the surface, buy stuff to eat better, do it all again. That loop in itself was a ton of fun. The game only gets better from there as it expands on what foods you should eat to make the most money, what food you should avoid to not LOSE money, and in what order you should eat them.
The gameplay never felt boring or repetitive. There was always something to spice up each dip into the ground for food. I loved finding each of the unique animals. It was honestly sweet to read "because they are one of a kind" in the bestiary after collecting them.
My only gripe with the game was that I couldn't see which foods were in what segment so I could properly dispose of the throw-up food, but there was an upgrade to fix this later in the game. Incredible game design and knowing what the player would be wanting next, Joex3.
The ending was both funny and bittersweet. I genuinely teared up when the shopkeeper's note appeared.
What an amazing experience you have gifted us Joex3. Great job on making a great game and thank you for sharing it with us all. This makes me want to go create something.
Eating Nugus grants you immunity agains bitterness for 25 food items after them (not before them!). The other thing (the one you are probably talking about, but I don't want to spoil) grants you complete immunity agains bitterness (regardless of the order you ate food).
If this is not the case for you, you can message me on how to reproduce the issues and I can look into it if you want :)

This was an incredibly wholesome read, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed playing the game :)
does the sweet thing the naga people give negate the bitterness of the spout berry? because nothing happens when i do it.
Thanks for playing the game :)
