The game pauses when you enter the options menu. When it's just about the synchronisation, you could also reload the game in your browser. This way all production units should start at the same time.
Please make the dagger give an attack bonus it really should give a small attack bonus otherwise it is really just dead weight and a waste of a weapon find.
my game glitched out and went to the inventory screen and was switching between every costume in the game while switching backgrounds and the cats where running.
