So the generator ONLY runs on oil and coal. My Western Island is doomed to die. I guess I can buy coal with diamonds but diamonds eventually I will mine the entire island. And it isn’t cost efficient to kill minions. The only renewable resource on West Island is the few trees. It seems that if you play a REALLY long time simply going to the East Island and AFK-ing while your farm pumps out tons of free food which I then sell for coal that I then use to run my generator……… I am totally autonomous on East Island, but on West Island I can only sustain my self via the markets but fortunately there are tons of diamonds…… The fact that my purse only holds 9999 gold humorously resulting in me selling too many diamonds at once and losing cash……. Still no clue what the stone golems do……….
Hilariously my Lightning Ax and Adult Dragon are pathetic and weak compared to a chainsaw. Even pistols and shotguns pale in comparison. Managing ammo is annoying compared to simply thwacking dudes and tanking the damage. And even if you use a gun you still take a ton of damage. Chainsaws are simply the best all around…….. I used the ‘ending’ as a way to save the game without paying. Yes I am that cheap……. It is annoying how my supply depo is on the far far east side making it annoying to transfer supplies. Likewise the elevator is kinda far away from the supply depo.
Woot, we finally get to go to the other island! (Gets to island) Oh god, I need more food. Gotta go back home for a bit.... Move aside Thunder Ax, my chainsaw is mightier. Praise the Emperor. Now all I need is power armor................... Was the talking Dragon removed?
Back for round 2: and its even better..... I love how the inventory is liked across all shops. So convenient......Finding that giant mountain and killing the yeti and dragon in it was great. Yei is fun with melee combat (but an absolute joke with bow/arrows). Dragon is a tough fight but ice shield can help you out...... No clue what Fire Jem thingy does, or what baby dragons do but I guess that comes later...... THe best weapon probably is the ice arrow but regular arrows trounce Yetis and they are completely useless for dragons. The high cost of a diamond makes them nothing but a sweet collectible..... I found the secret fire chickens but they don't do anything. Yet........ Durn boat still leads nowhere. Curses...... The new inventory/equip system works great...... I want to be able to drink more speed potions. Never enough speed potions.
Gosh Darn Fantastic game. The worst part is when it suddenly ends....... The pacing of the game is fantastic. The requirements to unlock tech is excellently paced: never too much or too little. I enjoy how it doesn't take too long to unlock stuff.... The fact that your allies routinely pick up basic supplies is very much appreciated as it allows me to focus on getting items I need (gold, steel, wyrms) without having to worry too much about basic stuff like wood/coal....... The fact that your inventory is liked across your buildings is an obvious function that too many developers ignore. However vendors don't link to your supply hut. All items that I do not carry on my person (armor/ swords. etc) should be linked to the supply hut to spare me from having to trek back and forth............
The combat is pitch perfect for this type of game. It can be improved by simply forcing the player to have certain weapons for certain types of enemies which are encountered in certain areas. Maybe have it so that certain enemies can only be stabbed with sword after being hit with bow/arrow or if they are in a trap. But I will say that armor is so crazy heavy that I never brought it with me afterwards. Its more efficient to carry a burger or two on the rare off-chance I can't avoid a fight..... The fact that the worm monsters are called Wyrms is very annoying. I know that Wyrms are a type of dragon but I thought the game was being goofy (like saying magik or daemons). So it took me way to long to realize that Wryms turn into dragons and drop dragon blood. But once I did Wryms and dragons became my main goal as dragon blood is needed for speed potions and I want them so bad. But sadly but the time I can buy nets I can build the ship so the game is over........
You can buy nets before the dock if you get the thief... but as you said earlier, she is a useless worker. Maybe I should add some special events that the thief can help out with. And yeah, improving your structures and changing their appearance is planned for later updates, it's just not our top priority right now. We're also considering more upgrades for NPCs and more recruit-able NPCs, but that's a more complex system we have to work out. I'm glad you enjoyed the game, and I can link the vendors to your supply hut!
The supply room should be fused into the healing hut. Save us a bit of time…….Buildings should upgrade in appearance for free as the game goes on. Its odd to see a classy kitchen next to the quickly constructed hut I made at the start. Your allies can do it....... As bare bones as your allies are they are pretty cool dudes. It would be cool if they got little story missions which buff their stats so they can do more work (so mining girl wants a golden pick ax so you make one and now she mines 20% faster). Likewise having more minions working autonomously makes them useful and makes it feel like you are progressing. You not only have better gear, but a better group of allies backing you up. Also: all my buddies like mining girl and farmer are working so I 'respect' them as characters while mean thief lady just stands there and does nothing. Very appropriate for her character.....
The quick select function is bad. Why do I have to equip a sword/ax/pick? The game should just automatically use the item in question when needed. Sometimes I would equip the sword and it disabled by ability to talk to people. A better system would be to simply have each item assigned a number on 1-9 and give us the option to place item in a numbered slot...... Having multiple economies (mining, farming, dragon stuff) is great. Likewise having multiple quests running at the same time is great. Having even more quests running simultaneously would be even better....... The fact that the title screen says "starting island" when there is only one island is a major tees. I need mah fix man. Like having one island full of monsters to kill, another focusing on mining or farming sounds great.........
If you never equip anything, it will automatically use the item in question when needed like you want. Equipping is if you want to focus on combat and don't want to talk to NPCs accidentally, or if you want to use ranged weapons.
We definitely plan to add more island in future updates!
Currently you have ground level and a bunch of stuff underground. A cool new area to explore would be up in the air. Have a giant forest of trees and the higher you go the rarer berries with special properties you find alongside meaner and meaner tree monkeys.
5/5 for an actual god damn game, and a sweet one at that. No idle and no cartoonish money grabbing....... The UP and DOWN attacks are fun and have a cool defensive benefit but since the info panel appears so briefly and you can't get back to it I didn't really get how it worked. I know that UP deals crazy damage to strong minions but I guess bosses have resistance against it as the boss's health bar doesn't go down that much compared to regular bullets. And when I use an UP attack the word 'bonus' appears. Bonus what? Something about chaining combos (use an UP/DOWN attack which weakens enemies and makes then take more damage from DOWN/UP attack or something).......I totally forgot that SPACE kills everyone and holy sin it grants you a heart................ The levels are a bit long. Having the same amount of gameplay split across more levels would have been nice........
Hey thx for these comments. It's fun to read a players detailed experience through the game. I definitely would have loved to do twice the levels half the length but quality background art is really expensive. The BONUS you are seeing is when you destroy groups of enemies at once. It grants bonus gems. I am working a pretty big update with an endless mode and a hardcore option for players that want a bigger challange PLUS a fix for the gem collection that should make people happy. Thx for the play and feedback!
Right before the final boss we should have had a boss rush. A while squad of LV 1 boss getting obliterated in seconds would have been fun.............I don't know if it is just me but the lower level map would have a white line before the map repeats..........When you pause the map keeps scrolling which breaks the immersion and reveals the gaming trick that the player isn't actually moving which breaks immersion blah blah blah...... The fact that the game has low coin magnetism is annoying but its one of those things that gamers say they hate but actually like. But I will say that the game should push them away from the borders as I would get blindsided by enemies that suddenly showed up when I was near the top....... The fact that coins look the tiniest bit like enemy bullets is distracting......
The helicopter laser bots are bastards in the best way........ One thing that wasn't explored much is how the UP and DOWN move change the boss's movement patterns. If you use UP/DOWN you push the boss back so I though there would be a boss gimick where the boss tries to get closer and closer and you have to push it back at strategic times
Screw this game. Literally impossible to win...........And I swear that the game intentionally gives out the shit special zombies MORE after I upgraded the good ones.
Great stuff.............The spinning wheel thing is really boring. It takes forever and you rarely get a reward................... I like how each enemy has a distinct function.
Badass! The units all have a function (except for Ax guys, not sure what their purpose is), different enemies with different tactics (damn parrots) and the fact that you have a wide margin of error for gold medals is very much appreciated as you might be focusing on some other area and a single parrot can sneak.
Oh my God this game is not... that good. I got all but one upgrade in Factory Idle (an amazing 5/5) and that game which was vicious and brutal in how it forced you to use every. single. cell. to get a decent amount of money................
But this game is all about annoying belt gimmicks. And since the way belts dole out boxes is utterly bizarre it is nothing but trial and error.
97 quad research for the last upgrade!!!! That's whack yo.
That is seriously like 1.5 uninterrupted YEARS of waiting. Well, at least it is the last upgrade.
