Having played for a few minutes again, the same issue seems to be happening with my ability to save. Anyone know what might be causing this or how to fix it?
Well, crap. The saving in this game just doesn't work. I was a bit worried when I was playing earlier because the saving circle wouldn't go away (it had been there for many minutes), but I had to go. Came back, most of my last play session was gone. I still had fun playing, but this was a disappointing setback.
Needs something for that 'late game' when you can just breeze through 20 maps like nothing, upgrade, and do it again. Maybe an automatic attack option so your people can be fighting while you're managing upgrades. Or just so you don't have a click hundreds of times(same for upgrading stuff, bulk buying would be nice).
The thing is, this is not a game, since I can't really interact with it I can't really dislike or be annoyed by it. There are games out there that are frustrating, annoying, and just generally bad. Those kinds of games leave you feeling worse than when you started playing, whether it's because of bugs, bad game design, ear shattering music/sound effects, revolting graphics, disturbing content, or one of many other reasons you might find to dislike a game. A game that simply tells you it is bad and that you should stop playing stands far above some of the other monstrosities on this site. It's not fun or interesting, it's not even a game, but it hasn't left me frustrated or disturbed in any way. So it's far from the worst.
The keyboard controls seemed to stick very frequently for me. The mouse controls just aren't set up in a pleasant way, probably because they're meant for mobile. The gold also seems a bit messed up. I started off with an insane amount after Run 1(50+k), then I got less than half that(~18k) on the second run despite going twice as far, and on the third run I barely got any money at all (4k, a mere pittance compared to past gains. Not really enough to upgrade anything useful at this point). On a few different occasions clicking different things the game has also gone unresponsive or had the Items upgrade screen go entirely blank after trying to purchase something there. Fix these things and I'll tack an extra star or two onto my rating. This game seems to have potential, but all the buggy weirdness just holds it back.
Some way to limit the mass upgrade button to cut off at a defined level, or simply (for us, not for you) have it choose the lowest level buildings to upgrade first ignoring higher levels buildings if the cash isn't available for them (so it automatically gets as many upgrades as it can with the cash you have). Either way would be a nice addition to the new Mass Upgrade feature.
Why does the little HUD that shows you your resources go away while you're in a station? How am I supposed to know what sort of funds I have left while shopping?
1/3 of the time when I enter a map it just blackscreens (seems to be happening more and more as I progress, didn't happen at all for the few sections of the map). Very annoying. Other than that, I am enjoying this game.
Super fun when I realized I needed a catapult to progress any further. Had to wait 20 minutes for my cash to build up for that, glad I picked the Salary upgrades when I was leveling up of I would have had to wait well over an hour. Needs more ways to get cash. Maybe a recurring fetch-quest from a town, or random bandits could continue spawning on the map. Something. Barrels is a pretty crap option for getting cash.
I seem to keep dropping out of Pacifist Mode even though I'm not attacking anybody. It's a pretty rude awakening to log in to a few unexpected MOAB assaults coming at you while you were trying to save for some big upgrades.
Putting the non-stop waves button on the Speed button is terrible design. If people are turning off the speed, it's because they're getting overwhelmed. Making them double click wastes precious time, and they can really get screwed if they only manage a single click rather than a double.
Something is wrong here and it makes me slightly annoyed and a little sad, I'm not even sure if I can keep playing because of it. You see, I keep putting my mouse to the very left edge... But it's no use. No matter how much I try to get it to work, I just can't seem to get it to let me rate this game 0/5.
Oh, damn. Left the game for a month after getting through 11 dungeons, and now my save is gone. Blarg, I really need to finish games when I start them.
Woooo, this is bad. It seems like a fun enough game at first, but the upgrade system leaves no room for trying strategies to see what is effective, and if you buy the wrong things you can paint yourself into a corner pretty quick.
I think allowing us to scroll the mission briefings would be better. It always happens, just as I'm about to reach the last line and read, it snaps back up to the top and I have to wait for it to scroll down again. Just annoying.
We understand it's a disappointment :/ sorry to read that, we'll try to fix it.
