I'm enjoying the concept, but the prestige mechanic often feels punishing, with it taking longer and longer to just get back to where you were. To remedy this I would suggest subsequent runs giving some paint for each 100 milestone: 5 at 100, 10 at 200, 15 at 300 etc, capping at 500 with 25 every 100 thereafter, for example.
Fun game! There's an issue with Warehouses though, the 2x food for next restart is too OP. It doesn't take long until you can do 60 second runs and multiply your starting food by well over 100. My Happiness bonus bonus is like +E105% on Warehouses and each run has been increasing that number significantly. The game freezes after 5-6 seconds now, I assume because the numbers are too large.
It's a bug :( Warehouse bonus were not intended to stuck up. Now I changed that bonus, so you will got +100 food from each warehouse (at the start of a next game).
Was a fun game but the recent update let some people keep their Goth levels and get their Oyster to over 1m.
I could play for months and not even get close to them. What is being done to balance the people who are now at an Oyster of over 1m?
Ah.. that would explain it. :) --- Overall I think prestige levels should be slower then what they were (each prestige was only taking me a few minutes) but I also don't think it should take (literally) hundreds of years for me to prestige again! :P Did you consider just increasing the level needed to prestige by more then 100/prestige? I have no idea what would be balanced but 500 maybe? I'll private message you the other suggestions because apparently I'm limited to 1000 words here. :)
Last time I really played was back towards the end of April, if you remember I told you about the lag from when you gain 200-1k+ levels per action (that you fixed! :)). --- About this bug though, it's not that leveling is too slow normally, I started a new play in chrome and am leveling just fine on it. The issue is that my levels on my main save are crazy slow. Since I left the message yesterday I've only gained 7 levels (meanwhile my alt is already gaining 1k+ in no time). I've got 1.7k Queens, 2.4t warriors, 2m fully upgraded layers and 575E total xp. I should have gained more then 7 levels in a day? --- Here's a screenshot to show you what I mean http://imgur.com/KyFZ5zt ---
Ah! I remember :P The amount of xp required to level increases with every prestige level (after revamp update). 1.7k prestige is.....A LOT. I plan to add a few new features+changes that will help with slow prestige levels. I should have them done by V.50. Let me know if you have any suggestions! :)
I came back to Beez to see what's changed. I prestiged but am now leveling really slowly. 1.1m upgraded layers with 1k bees + 200b warrior bees and only level 38 (with it taking 2-3 minutes per level). Is this intended? If it is then how can I get the 176k level needed to prestige again?
1.7k prestige is insane. Was before the V.45 update, correct? I can reduce the xp required to level or add level skipping rewards. Let me know what you think. Also, do you have 1.7k queens?
EDIT: It will probably be possible to have 30+ cells by V.50 + other content/features. That may help your xp rates.
I make money significantly faster then I can spend it, 10 seconds of money making is at least 10 minutes of buying upgraded layers. Maybe have a buy-max option? :)
---- 5. Could we have an option to buy-max upgraded layers, I'm making money significantly faster then I can buy upgraded layers w/1k Bees so it's not worth the time spent upgrading them.
---- 6. The highscores reset the stats that reset when you Prestige, rather then keeping track of what you had. Is that intentional or a bug?
---- 7. 66m warrior Bees take over a minute to kill a hive, giving me 200-400 Bees but I seem to get credit for killing more hives then what they actually kill on my screen, not sure why.
---- 8. It's much more efficient to not battle at all and just spend the saved time making money to buy Warrior Bees, there doesn't seem to be any reason to battle past the 100k (for the achievement).
---- Please don't think I'm complaining, I'm enjoying you game a lot. I can record any of the issues if it would help you at all.
Enjoying your game so far but I've noticed a few things and I thought I'd let you know about them:
---- 1. As I previously mentioned, if I gain more then around 150 levels in a single action then the game lags, more then 1k and it crashes. It's not much of an issue but it means I wont be able to prestige many more times. Prestige runs take me 10 minutes+ when they should only take like 2 minutes tops because of it. :P
---- 2. The game freezes for around 30 seconds right after a reset, it only started happening after around 75-100 resets.
---- 3. I'm not sure if it's intended but I only get 1 Bee/15 seconds with 197 Queens, not sure from the description if it should be 197. If it is a bug please don't fix it until level ups wont freeze me anymore as 200 Bees at the start would crash me.
---- 4. Prestige seems to be really OP, not sure if it's meant to be this good, but I've gotten from level 1-1m today with 197 prestige (800k more then anyone else).
Whenever I buy an upgraded layer with 1k Bees after a reset they game lags/crashes, seems that more then 200 levels/action creates lag and 1k+ levels/action can crash it.
Right at the start I get the same with upgraded layers, just not as bad as they only add around 300 levels/action.
