Feel free to add more gambling stuff like slot machines, wheel of fortunes, etc... to ensure that players have challenges that are compelling and rewarding.
Here is a list of things to implement.

### Features Ideas
* Local storage (Save player progression)
* Settings Menu (Reset progression, game options)
* More complex rewards and currency usage (idle game reward curve)
* Preload assets (+ use spritesheets instead of multiple images)

### Game modes Ideas
* Slot machines
* Wheel of fortune
* Gacha mechanics
* Timer / idle gameplays (Wait for rewards)
* Premium mode with higher loot rates
* Currencies exchange market
