Probably me who's doing something wrong but I can't win at the arena for the life of me... sure a couple of fights I win but then I meet something out of a Lovecraft novel and -75 rank negates the 20-30 I managed to rake up :|
Not bad! And you're actually listening to the players and implements changes as needed.
A couple of things I wouldn't mind seeing:
- Stats (like highest chicken-lvl ever reached, clicks, etc)
- More stuff in the shop to spend eggs on
The positives:
1. The updates keeps on coming -
2. Narrative is inspired by the great ones like Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett -
3. Progression is not too slow and it doesn't feel too fast either. -
4. Lots of menus and text in friendly letters. -
5. The dev is obviously caring a lot for his game, which one can't say about everyone out there making games. -
Now for the backside of the medal, the negative aspect:
1. The dev is the devil. Evil incarnate. His Troll-challenge is definitive proof of this.
2. Nothing in particulare to complain about besides that.
Too bad the core mechanics are giving you unlimited gems once you've passed a couple of levels and can buy the "Running Start" upgrade. From there just prestige until you've got enough gems to repeat the upgrade and you'll never lack a gem again. Poorly designed prestige ruined what could be a nice little idle game.
Seems like the energy orbs minigame is wreaking havoc on my laptops performance, using Chrome. Fan boosts up to maximum, cpu usage goes through the virtual roof and as someone else mentioned in the comments, can't play anything on youtube while the game is running. This starts only when I open the energy orbs minigame.
Upgrading efficiency in research also increase resource cost when you buy extractors or other things that spends resources per second... e.g. Fusion Reactor says it uses 10 of each Hydrogen and Helium but with increased efficiency this number is no longer correct as it uses more pr sec scaled to efficiency.
The resource intake isn't supposed to increase with efficiency research. Just the output of machines. This is a bug that is fixed on the Github site: https://sparticle999.github.io/SpaceCompany/ but not on kongregate. It's having issues updating here though. I'm trying to get this fixed, but with little luck for now. Sorry!
Manual saves works ok in Chrome, tested several times.
- Need more in dep texplanation on the effect of research items
Otherwise seems like a pretty solid idle-game so far in my opinion
Nice start, love the idea and descriptions. Speaking about the descriptions, how about adding some more indept details on the various levels of why one not cleaning up your dogs poo would be drowning in a river of poo for 60 years :P Curious about the level of crime comitted here.
Because I might be the one who steps in it, goes home, walks all over the carpet before realizing it and then has to clean that mess up...sadly, that's a true story.
