+# Game issues and potential solutions
+
+I should show what the starting perk is :
+- make the perk icon playable as the first level of the run
+- show it on screen for the first 5 seconds 
+
+When you have already a nice build and still get offered many perks, it gets tiring:
+- limit all build to N perks (maybe could be boosted with a perk)
+- add a "no more upgrade in the run, but double coins" perk
+
+One play style is too OP, no reason to try other things
+- encourage varied play style with level unlock requirements (testing)
+- add loop run where user levels can't be used in further loops (boring)
+- add lab mode where you need to make three builds (complex, lots of clicking, not fun)
+
+Some upgrades currently are not really useful
+- remove them
+- add more upgrades to complement them
+- force users to try them to unlock levels
 
 # Changelog
 
 ## To do
 
+- maybe just make the starting perk icon the first level ? kind of silly, kind of fun.
 - avoid showing a +1 and -1 at the same time when a combo increase is reset 
-- display runs history
 - display closest unlock with current perks in score and gameover screens
-- progress of unlock 
+- show the initial perk when we start a new game.
+- "skip" option on the upgrades, for when you don't want any of them.
+- fix starting perk option not working
+
 
 ## Done
 
+- progress bar for unlock in unlocks menu  
+- display runs history
 - in the runs history, only save perks that were chosen by the user
 - migration to save past content to localStorage.recovery_data right before starting a new version
 - mention unlock conditions in help

 ## Easy perks ideas  
+- two for one : add a 2 for one upgrade combo to the choice lists
+- cash out : double last level's gains  
 - snowball :  Combo resets every 0.1s . +1 combo for each combo gained Since last reset.
 - Chain reaction : +lvl*lvl combo per brick broken by an explosion, combo resets after explosion is over
 - coins doubled when touched by ball, lvl times, looks smaller and lighter
