Comment on Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding

That’s funny, reading your post I immediately thought of Ball x Pitt, before you even mentioned it.

That being said, I actually loved that game, and obsessively played it for 60 hours. I think it took me 3 or 4 hours to beat the first level, but to me it felt very rewarding. For me it was more about figuring out the right ball evolutions and character selection to beat a level.

That did change for the later levels. After a while it became too easy, and it just felt like grinding to unlock the next thing. The harvesting component was actually a refreshing break between runs, and probably kept me playing longer than I would have otherwise.
