I finished the game back then (thanks for loss of my weekend by the way :p)

Did anything change now?


Yep, and it's still just as awesome.

> Bad things. If you hotlink to a rawgithub.com URL on a site that gets lots of traffic, requests will be throttled. If this heavy traffic continues, requests originating from your site will eventually be dropped.


nice game! the save game is just a base64 encoded string.. Here are game stat ``` "{"version":1.3,"features":{"location":{"room":true,"outside":true}},"stores":{"wood":62,"fur":54,"bait":0,"meat":100,"teeth":10,"scales":20},"character":{},"income":{"gatherer":{"delay":10,"stores":{"wood":0},"timeLeft":1},"builder":{"delay":10,"stores":{"wood":2},"timeLeft":5}},"timers":{},"game":{"builder":{"level":4},"buildings":{"trap":3,"cart":1,"hut":1},"population":0,"workers":{},"outside":{"seenForest":true}},"playStats":{}}" ```


Did you make this? It is very engaging from the start.


Nicely done. Looks boring at first glance, but a few idle clicks and suddenly it's compelling.
