It's a good game with potential, but requires too much active time for an idle. For instance I have to stay online to get 101 of each type of weapons, armor to max them out. Day care is nice, but doesn't do enough. There should be a way to allocate energy (or some other commonly available resource) to your equipment+other inventory items in order to get it to level.
with automerge and autoboost you can level up gear without having to be there.
As for actual looting being online, that's literally the only thing that doesnt have an offline equivalent to it.
The TV station upgrades seem to need some fine tuning. I have more stars than I can spend, and 10 Holybars is an exorbitant cost to eliminate the timer for just one upgrade. At least let me queue up a sequence of TV station upgrades so the system takes care of them while I'm offline in idle game fashion.
You have this unnecessary tutorial for how to play on the bootcamp level (since the gameplay is copied from Kingdom Rush which we've all played), and then you put us in a world with all these buildings and no explanation, instead holding our hand, dragging us on to the new level. From what others are saying this one doesn't look to be worth the time.
When using a 1H, 1D, etc. boost that gets me over the hump to another City Level, there seems to be a discrepancy in the income it tells me I earned vs. the income I actually receive.
Progress seems just too slow. I'm towards the beginning of level 2 (3300+ exp towards level 3) and the game seems dead. Even if I reset it'd take some time to get back to where I am.
@LoonyLizard Are you sure? Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems to take 10+20n cycles to get from n% to (n+1)% idle level. If so it then takes 10+30+50+...990 to get from 0% to 50%, which would give only 25000 cycles. There does seem to be a final level up that presumably takes 1010 cycles before it actually says "max idle level achieved" (which would make the total 26010), but the 50% idle rate doesn't change.
@Stoejifan I would not say that apps are obsolete. At just over 5m investors I'm at Metalstar S as well and am at $15-$20 T/sec. Could be more, but I'm too lazy to get the slower, higher paying apps' idle levels up really high. About to reformat though.
Achievement mechanic is annoying. I've already accomplished some chance feat, then have to do it again because it wasn't one of the three achievements "available" at the time.
All achievements should be attainable from the beginning.
@shaedolyn1 a Run All button sounds good but probably wouldn't work in practice. I couldn't run my top two apps simultaneously because I don't have enough GHz to do so, let alone all apps.
