Switching time zones seems to break this game. Now I have a 2-hour timer on everything. Buying one of any unit seems to fix it, but it reverts once I close the tab and reload it.
Game progress stagnates heavily after reaching the Vigintillion cell range. Getting to 2200 of everything seems rough, and it'll only get slower and slower.
At around 10 x 10^90 units, it basically takes an entire day to double Bits. I'm assuming the game is balanced around spending Kreds at this point, which is pretty messed up.
This is a simple yet fun incremental game. Maybe make the beginning a little faster to progress through (it takes until 1^18 units for it to be worth transcending for the first time, which basically takes all day).
It has been over a year and a half, and the game has not changed. I would really like to see significant changes to the way reaping works (perhaps make the requirement multiply by 1,000 each time, but make the boost it gives big enough so that players can get one power of 1,000 higher in coins each time they reap before the time it takes to double Brain Power again becomes as long as it did during the previous reap session). The brain power calculation is also bugged, such that claiming the highest coin amount first after a spider or returning to the game is the most beneficial, except that the sum of current and unspent brain power cannot multiply by more than a hundred or so at a time (can be increased slightly with the brain gathering Science upgrade), and this decreases dramatically after 100 Octillion, 100 Undecillion, and 100 Quindecillion Brain Power (sum of current and unclaimed). This bug dramatically slows down rebuilding progress after each reap...
…and changing the Brain Power after reset formula to (net worth/divisor)^0.5 - current Brain Power, where "net worth" increases when coins are earned and is set to (current + unclaimed Brain power)^2 * divisor whenever Brain Power is spent or earned through ways other than resetting, where "divisor" is initially 1 million, but increases at 100 Octillion, 100 Undecillion, and 100 Quindecillion Brain Power, and any later thresholds I have not reached (although net worth will have to also be increased at those thresholds based on the new divisors to prevent a negative calculation), and is itself divided by the square of the bonus provided by the "Brain Gathering" Science upgrade, would solve this problem. If I can figure it out, the devs should be able to as well.
This game has so much potential, but the flaws I’ve described here and below have ruined the game. Sad.
(Split into two comments due to the 1,000-character limit)
It's also worth noting that the Brain Power calculation gets very buggy after 100 Undecillion Brain Power (gaining relatively high amounts of coins from warps, daily rewards, or swiping businesses does not give anywhere near as much Brain Power as it should, but coins from Ambassadors seems to calculate correctly in most cases), and that I have to refresh the page every time I reset for Brain Power or the x2 speed bonus bought with crystals won't apply.
Could easily be a great game, but bugs and balance issues ruin the fun.
Late game balancing makes absolutely no sense.
After getting everything to 2,000 (requires a few tens of Trigintillions of coins), the next useful upgrade is for about 75 Tredecillion Brain Power (worth buying at around the high Untrigintillion coin range) for all profits x2. Then the next useful bonus is 2,250 Clubs for about 6.5 Duotrigintillion coins, doubling its speed then Club profits x2 for 700 Duotrigintillion coins, then 2,250 of everything for all profits x4, needing almost 6 Quattuortrigintillion coins, and Club profits x4 for 3 Quindecillion prestige points, which is probably slightly later. Don't see anything else useful beyond that currently (only 9 upgrades display at once, most expensive one I see costs 350 Quattuortrigintillion coins). Progress is going to slow to a halt because there are almost no useful upgrades or level bonuses.
BTW, Sarahjmack01, Area 9 is the last Area in the game and everyone who plays it will have this issue before reaching town 60 unless they are smart enough to use a certain technique to specifically work around it, but there's no Area 10 and Area 9 has been out for over a year, so it's kinda pointless without Area 10.
Sarahjmack01, You should contact Kongregate regarding your kreds being wasted on a game that doesn't work anymore, as I assume you've bought kreds and spent them for gold in this game. Maybe they might refund them. I doubt they will refund the real money spent however.
I've had an issue with another game where the cloud save stopped working and I lost a massive amount of progress including the items I've purchased with kreds. It was only 110 or 120 irrc so I didn't bother and it's probably too late for me now.
