When you make a new layer, you should still get money and experience from your lower layers that you previously built. And if you could see those layers working away underneath your current layer (just fade them out a bit maybe) it would add a great 'I'm boiling something massive' feel to the game.
When you start the game don't buy anything from the shop. Instead by the 30+ gold per second upgrade in the upgrades tab. Then feed the gold you get back into that upgrade, making your gp/s go higher and higher. No enemy ships attack you and you and you start raking in the gold like crazy. Been playing for ten minutes and have over 100K gold. Upgrade to the best gear at your leisure.
What did I expect? How about a freaking description of WHAT prestige mode is? Or at least a reversal button to un-do what the terrible terrible prestige button did. It does nothing but slow down your game (and score-gaining ability) to a crawl, leaving everyone that didn't press the button with a massive advantage in the high score department. It's a game breaker. Prestige button should give you a trophy, nothing else. NOT HANDICAP YOU.
BEFORE Prestige button : Awesome! Maxed out perks, rising to the highest scores ever quickly! Woo!
AFTER Prestige button : Lose all money. Effects of upgrades reduced to 1% previous strength. Score increase rate reduced to 1%, goodbye high score. Useless statue...
I see immense potential in this, but I've only played for ten minutes and have noticed a game breaker that makes it (in its current state) unplayable: the zoom. It will not let my mouse wheel zoom in/out, and the magnifier buttons in the bottom right are on waaaaay too sensitive. I'm either standing on top of my cockpit and can hardly see anything on my screen other than my ship, or if I click the zoom out button ONCE, I'm outside of the galaxy. Please give us a slider bar to fine tune our camera angle.
had upgrade #3 whips right arm with the $ to get #4. Game did not recognize $ and would not allow purchase. Clicked #2 and game TOOK AWAY #3. Had to spend half my $ just to get #3 back.
shields are overpowered. ceramics are overpowered. And moabs are overpowered. Upgrades are WAY too expensive. This game is just an attempt to infuriate player into busting out their wallet just to have a chance at winning. Developer, you are greedy. You took what would have been an absolutely awesome game and ruined it.
I flew to Mars, landed, lifted off, and flew out of... the game I think. Please make getting back to Earth from Mars an achievement in the next game! And have upgrades to reduce obstacles!
I made it to floor 511 (five-hundred eleven) with all FINAL stats equal. (30,000 health and 3,000 for each other stat). I was blessed though, God helped me. I went down to 1 (one) health point several times.
