The music and art and general gameplay does give off some FTL vibes as others have alluded to. I found quite a good strategy was to just build out horizontally as much as possible and add the magnets to maximise the money. Definitely a cool concept here which with some extra time to flesh out could be a really fun game.\n\nNot really much to criticise here. Controls were easy to understand. I guess one thing to improve would be the UI. I think if you cant afford to place a room yet you should have the placement show up but semi transparent in red. That might make it a bit clearer and easier than nothing showing up and having to press the key again. \n\nWell done!
