Do the "Base Income" challenges do anything? They didn't seem to be changing anything. Took a screenshot before doing a challenge, got Gen III Base income + 40,000. The actual income is identical to what it was before the challenge. Either they increase it so little it doesn't matter, The UI doesn't show it, or it doesn't increase it at all.
I noticed what seems to be a bug in lift that only happens sometimes.
Configuration is early on in payload, using the 1 unit weight. With Omega body, 2 maced RC Helicopter (Lift of 10) and a Pingu baloon my displayed weight was 1.0. However the Helicopters sometimes, not always don't create enough lift to go up and you sink. Sometimes they work well sometimes not. For example did 2 runs in a row with no changes, one got me to 15k the other got me to 7k most of which was from launch. About halfway through the first stage I started sinking and never went up after.
Here is a excel sheet to help figure out what to buy, and how long it will take to reach a specific goal. It isn't perfect and google docs seems to have messed up some of the formatting but I have used it into the quadrillions of angels https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11XUj41VRaR-SPxI0iP5k8qTxTbDcl78_CQPqeZtAZ04/edit?usp=sharing
I have to say the same that others have. Puzzles with multiple solutions REALLY detract from the game. I often play very large puzzles (100x60) etc and I have yet to encounter a puzzle with multiple solutions. Puzzles that do are not puzzles.
I am surprised this game is till in "beta". It has been out for months on ninjakiwi site and has had these same bugs for months. Levels ending randomly, blops randomly disappearing and sometimes reappearing if you restart. Some ideas for improvements 1. Ability to turn off golden balloons, they can seriously mess up your round. 2. Level select on all screens, it is missing after you click on a stage. You have to start the stage hit esc then leave. 3. Some balance to the blops, it takes hundreds and hundreds of plays to max out.
A few tips for those trying for hard badge. You can run through non red enemies, this includes grey slime, the eye guys. Skip some of the savers when it will take a couple jumps to get this = 2 or 3 seconds and if you die other than in a few places it is game over anyway so they don't help.
When starting go full speed and run right through the first grey slime if you are fast enough you will get past spikes. Again if fast run and jump next to first red guy without stopping. A lot of the enemies can be bypassed or it is timed so that if you go full speed they are in perfect places to get by them. Another time waster is the eye guy after getting the flipper, don't even stop just run right through.
I like this game but I am having a pretty major issue. The 2nd to last ? says depth of 50-200 and is a Lost capsule. However my lost capsule achievement is completed. I have gotten 100+ capsules and all they offer now is gold / titanium/silver bars. This might have been caused by having a full inventory when going over capsule?
