One thing that would really help this game is to add an auto-clicker skill that gives free clicks every so often. That would make idle play more viable (including the Mine special).
The bubbles move when the board shifts. Sometimes I fire a shot that is on the right track and the board moves and stops the combo. Sometimes there is still a combo after the board moves, but I don't get credit because the combo isn't in the same position that it would have been.
Got to 6000. For people struggling, you get +3 moves for every level you complete EXCEPT you refresh all the way to 10 moves when you reach each new tier (10, 100, 1000). Extra moves are wasted. So every turn you should plan to have at least 3 moves you can refill, except when you complete 9, 90 and 900 you should go all the way down to your last move. Use the extra moves to set up your later turns.
The game does not save plants which are growing in your fields. It does keep your money and upgrades, etc., but all the money you spent planting is gone. Terrible design. If you can't save the plants in the field, you should refund us the price we paid to plant them.
It took me maybe 20 mins to get from grass to sunflowers. I've been on sunflowers for like 2 mins and already 2/3 of the way to unlocking algae. Needs desperate rebalancing.
Also, the replant skill really obviously should be changed so that you don't have to pay for the replanted plant. With a "plant all" button, replant is useless as it is.
Sometimes the replant skill causes your plant to regrow as something different than what you originally planted. I am planting grass, but one of my grass just regrew as a sunflower. I haven't even unlocked sunflowers yet.
Also a suggestion: I would make earlier resources be less profitable, but require them in order to produce later resources. i.e. we need steel in order to process aluminum. Something like that.
If I have too much steel production, my iron production goes negative. But it looks like I am still producing full steel - I just pay $1 per iron that I need. Is that right? If yes, I think it's probably not a good design. We should at least pay a penalty (like buy the iron at $2 instead of $1) to encourage people to build proper supply chains. Also I have a weird bug where I get a message that my storage is full even though my storage shows as completely empty. I suspect it is a result of my having large negative iron production, but that's just a guess.
omgnoob, next time you make a game, try making achievements that are even slightly achievable. I'm working on Go Down the Depths tier 3 (out of 20) which requires going to level 25 depth... that's pretty far and should be around the point that most of the content is exhausted. How F-ing deep do we have to go for tier 20?? You've made too many games to be repeating all these dumb mistakes.
@Xephan, the "side" reels are the ones on the far left and the far right. To use the spear, you need to leave it untouched (don't put it into a combo) in one of your reels and you need the bad guy in one of your side reels. The bad guy will still hit you unless you also have something to neutralize him. Spear only vanquishes one bad guy, but later upgrades (like arrows) can hit more than one.
Is there a way to just accept the spin you have without performing a combo? I've played a bunch and, as far as I can tell, we can only do this at the end of the year. I often find myself with a bunch of good stuff that I want to activate in the Tribe and Vanquish rounds, but I can't do it because I don't have a combo. Like if I have three reels and I get fence, spear, tiger... I'd really like to just keep that and safely kill the tiger, but I usually can't. Or am I missing something? Please consider an option to just accept what you spun without taking an action.
If you have people in Leisure, you can click them to do just that. Otherwise, you'll have no choice but to abandon something. It could be something with little impact, like Ritual or Granary.
Have played this enough to give up on it forever. Needs better explanation and more rational gameplay. We pour tons of resources into drilling and only get a couple percentage points worth of mining boost. We upgrade our drill and are surprised to learn the upgrades don't count until you restart. Experience levels advance WAY too slowly, particularly at later levels. All the upgrades are worth half as much as they should be because you inexplicably split mines vs picks - the dominant strategy is to put everything into the Pick Multiplier, which is very lame. Etc etc etc. At some point you need to start learning from all these games you churn out.
Why does every miner have a little x1.5 = 5% above them that does nothing? Why are we left to guess which of the miners use a drill and which use a pick? Some of this stuff is just so ridiculous.
