I wish there was a harder option. Once you figure out the rules it's too easy. Just need to get the lines to point at you and the shape takes care of itself. Most levels I finished in 2-5 seconds.
There are people who actually lose at tic-tac-toe? That was one of the easier ones...
My problems were on the reversed x and y axis levels. Muscle memory throws you off a bit. Other than that a simply and fun game.
Instructions are unclear on which item is which and how to enchant. I did manage to find out which item does what after trial and error, but nowhere does it say what the symbols on the enchant recipe even mean.
Why the energy system? You've got ads and plenty of microtransactions to keep this funded. Pets, accessories, gear, keys, ect. Adding an energy system on top of that is just a ridiculously greedy.
It would be so much better if I could actually play the game when I want to.
This is a reply to an earlier response. "Why do you think it's balanced around the video ads?" Umm, because even with the maximum research speed I can expect to have at this level without using the ad bonus it's way too slow on a new restart. The bonuses are way too large to make it seem "optional."
I think it depends how you define optional. You can play and "complete" the game without watching videos. It will take longer, but there is no content behind a paywall or something. The game isn't meant to be played in one session. Just make a break for an hour (or a day?) and continue with all the earned money and researched stuff.
Seemed less intuitive than doodle god. A lot of the combinations simply didn't make sense and the clues ranged from simply giving you the answer and useless.
The game is a nice little idle game with some unique elements, but I hate the fact it seems balanced around the video ad bonuses. Especially since Kongregate keeps giving me the same exact starcraft usb charger ad over and over. I'm thoroughly sick of it.
The game is stuffed with way too many ads at the beginning, and the maker seems to have not gotten the hint that people do not appreciate unintuitive item combinations and puzzles resetting while you check the clue.
I love escape games, but these range from just unplayable to meh at best.
When I loaded the game I got a black screen for a few seconds, and when it finally came back I had all the items in my inventory without even doing anything. Weirdest error I've ever encountered.
How do they not make sense? The code is ridiculously straightforward. Look for the half with all unique digits 1-12, and the other half is the digit that goes in that place.
My complaint is the same problem I've had with all this maker's escape games. There's literally almost no thinking involved. No looking at the environment for clues or combining items. It plays like just going down a checklist for cookie cutter.
