As such, unlike most puzzle games, the replayability for this game is very high, which is by design!!
Replayable
Thistlemine in all seriousness, is a HARD game featuring both exploration puzzles and combat, each being different from the first encounters.

Overall, I did enjoy Thistlemine's OST and art style being a fan of Fruitbat Factory.
Automation
Item management and upgrading relics are super important, also have MULTIPLE savepoints.
