So I've realized this game is nothing more than an addict trap. There is literally nothing fun about this "game". It's a shitty idle game that for real tries to sell worthless crap for as much as $100 on a shit browser game that looks like it was made in 2003.
Upon further testing I've found that I think it's a bug with uBlock. Turns out you CAN do this with any page on Kongregate. Not just games but any page with ads. If you have your uBlock turned off when you first load the page and wait a little bit and turn it back on the "ads" blocked will shoot up and continue slowly climbing.
Sorry for the passive aggressive accusation.
I noticed at the bottom of Google Chrome that the "waiting for [website]" message was constantly flashing different sites. So I turned on my adblocker which I usually keep off on this site to support the devs.
When I first turned on my ad blocker, it skyrocketed past 1k then kept slowly climbing. Pretty weird. Literally 1774 ads so far. Not sure if this was a bug with ublock or this game is just secretly bombarding with ads but something is weird since all the other games I've tested so far have not done this.
By the time I took the screen shot it was 1805.

Final ad tally as I click comment: 1876
The chests are literally 99% chance of getting a single unit of the lowest type of currency in this game. This idle game was 100% made to make you feel like you need to purchase gems. DON'T PURCHASE ANYTHING FOR THIS SKINNER BOX NONSENSE.
spawn rate to death rate for mutant tangerines is broken. Regardless of having higher death rate, mutant tangerine count is still rising at stupid rates.
It won't let me buy Aphrodite. I've got more than enough money and I'm on level 84 now and still the buy button is grayed out. What's going on?! Great game though :D
