I think it's cool that the 50 floors aren't just COMBAT COMBAT COMBAT, though. Adds some variety and makes it seem like more of an accomplishment for making your way up.
The only problem with the seed right now is the time restriction. You can extend the time limit, but with only 1 slot the maximum extension is 22 minutes. There are a max of 5 slots, but to unlock even the 2nd slot you need to get to floor 10 AND have 8000 seed points to unlock it. The seed points aren't easy to get. Although you get seed points for entering each level, the total points you get for finishing up to floor 10 is around 500-600 if I got it right. To get to floor 10 in the first place, you need to extend the time limit with 600 points (22 minutes) unless you're that good and can get to floor 10 in 5 minutes.
Essentially you have to grind for the seed points. The fastest way I can think of now is constantly re-entering floor 1 and hoping that the box it gives me for completing floor 1 throws out a bag which gives 100-500 seed points. I got like 3k points after about 150 entering of floors. (You get max 200 floors a day and to get 1 box you need to use up 2 floors)
As of now in the Culverin world, only about 15-20 people has reached floor 10 and above.
