I don't think this game works as well as its predecessor. There is a silly relief at the core of Tax Evasion (I like this sentence), but I struggle to find the same alignment with my actions here. Without something suitably compelling, I think this makes a lot of the humor fall flat.

I also don't think that this is a very good roguelite? There's just so little randomization on display here, and I don't think that randomization is interesting enough on its own to encourage replay, which is a pretty big part of the genre!

It's still fun, and I'm still excited for the next Turnip Boy adventure, but this doesn't necessarily "work" like its predecessor.
