The upgrades are fun, idea of the game is pretty interesting. However, while I was playing the game there were two major problems. Stage start "upgrade" is too expensive. Using basically ALL of my money on my previous run to start on the SAME stage as I did before doesn't seem like the best design. It hinders progression a lot. Maybe if it were about 50% that'd be fine. Second problem, the game feels pretty slow. I shoot and kill most of the boxes. That's fine. However, if I shoot and MISS one of the boxes, my bullets will continue to bounce over TWENTY times. The bullet speed is way too slow for that to ever feel good.
Can you make it so that putting the disc staff as your SECONDARY combination does not change the projectile please?... It ruined my saved game pretty much. I got really excited and added 12.5-22% crit on all 3 of my main weapons and it switched the projectiles to the discs. Those projectiles home onto enemies or just "shoot 7 discs around my hero"... In other words, my offense outclasses my defense by a long shot and everyone pretty much instantly dies. That's not what I find fun... I don't know what to do anymore, man...
MOST of the lag is coming from the subsection Script and the function saveGame. A small amount of lag is coming from another place, but I don't know where yet. A good way to hot-fix this problem is by taking out ALL of the auto save mechanics and implement a manual save button. After you fix the lag on the save function you can add back auto save. Check in Script subsection to fix all the lag you possibly can, because I'm sure the small bit of lag is coming from somewhere in there. Just do your best to optimize coding. ;)
I don't know where the problem is, I haven't checked it out yet.
I could pinpoint exactly which part(s) of coding would be causing it, but this would take me too much time. I've already lost faith in this game, so it doesn't even matter, really. However, since you asked, whenever I get free time I can check it out for you.
Just because you don't lag doesn't mean your coding is perfect.... I know exactly what I'm talking about, and I bet I could even fix it myself.
The fact that you go into comments and tell your consumers that the problem is theirs and don't try to improve what they ask is just... bad. You'll be getting 1 less star from me now.
So, if you know where's the problem...would you let us know by contacting us? You can do this throw our website, there on Kongregate or send message to our fan page on facebook
This game isn't good. I'll tell you why. It requires way more clicking than your usual idle game... In most cases you'd be clicking for about 2-5 minutes and then you can start idling. On this, the best way for you to get money is by clicking. Reason for this is that the idle upgrades are too expensive.... Are you trying to tell me I can buy 2 clicking upgrades for the price of 1 idle upgrade? Mind you, at the same time, the idle upgrades would earn you MUCH less than clicking upgrades because you can click way more than once per second....
There also isn't much to do in this game. As I see it, you just play to buy upgrades. Nothing else.
Yes, I disabled everything. What I meant by the lag is that every time an item drops the game stops for about a whole second. Same when when I upgrade my hammer's level...
Well, thank you for letting me know. I will do my best to optimize the code for better performance. Sadly this game is a bit of a beast compared to anything I made before. It may not show it in game play, but I've made some massive strives as a developer with this game. Could you send me private message about any other parts of the game lagging? I'm curious if Goals lags too.
There should be zero lag from drops, I avoid any lag code such as "Every Frame" or things that happens too suddenly. Have you tried toggling some options inside of the Options panel?
After getting a crap load of precision clicks in a row the money it gave me started to go negative... Please fix this, it's the main source of money late game if you're good at clicking on it.
Tweak the late game please. I got to 750,000,000 money with all upgrades and items in about 30 minutes and then to get to 1,000,000,000 money took me a whole extra hour... It takes too long man.
Since the late game money gets decreased by A WHOLE LOT I had it rated at 3, but now I have to give it a 2 star rating.
Have you considered to stop making games all in all then? Your pretty much telling everyone who has played or will play this game that you waste your time and money working on games. If I were you and felt that way I would STOP for a while, OR actually TRY to make a decent game.
My newest game coming out soon is A Ghost Story has been a bit of a passion project actually and its something I'm really hoping will work out in the end! Right now the BETA is up (Just the first 2 levels) so i can get a small amount of feed back from the community so I don't make a piece of crap like this again!
@CHARLESing:
You should add a hot-key for "buy all per page" toggle. It's kind of annoying to click the hats tab and then remember that I didn't take off that option, so I have to go back to recruits tab to take it off. Also, this could just help things be a bit quicker in general.
If you already did and I just missed it, good job. :)
This game is really buggy and just one simple concept (that is not so great) going for it. Not trying to be very harsh, but just trying to let you know how people would probably think about this game.

Just combine the weapon with another ranged one and the projectile will change again.
