Do you know what I have just done?

I just finished going through EXP Beach 100 times, just to see if something would happen. Just to see if there might be a ticket somewhere in that mess. If Satan might have kind words for once instead of calling me a cheater like my first playthrough. And you know what I got?

Nothing. No ticket. No acknowledgement. Not even a cap on the EXP, I went again and got to 101. I did the puzzle segment like normal and watched the EXP number drop. Of course, it's my fault for doing something clearly insane in the first place, but I had expected that kind of action to be anticipated in a game like this. Still super enjoyed it and looking forward to finding the tickets I missed the first time around.

You have my sincerest apologies. I will make something happen at 100xp in a patch but I'll post a gif here so you don't have to do it again.

I did this too. Took an hour and a half. Made me think, during that time, about how actual grinding doesn't really work as a good concept for game design. I thought about a lot of stuff during that time. And the feeling of utter unfulfillment once I reached 101 XP was the perfect cap to an hour and a half of thinking about the futility of my pursuits. Maybe don't change anything actually, now that I think about it.

Well, that saves me from doing this! I was in the process of doing the same thing, and looks like you saved me some time. Was getting pretty good at the level too!

If you're gonna go the Undertale meta route, you gotta account for players doing crazy nonsense

Still, thumbs up to the developer for fixing this.

I am putting up the next patch soon. It will have the wings unlock when you actually grind out 100xp, you crazy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Think about it this way: if it wasn't for your sacrifice, I wouldn't have fixed the issue, and some other poor sod would have the same disappointment.
