I'm pretty sure a recent update now has the game slow down or pause when it isn't the active tab in the browser. Not cool. There's no reason we should be forced to stare at battles we don't want to see. Sometimes I do want to watch the fight, sometimes I just want what's on the other end. Let me play casually. Seriously, this is super annoying.
This game is solid. It has a nice balance between strategy and idle. The gameplay is solid and the artwork is awesome. Its all very well done. I also really appreciate the fact that while it does have an in-game currency, it is possible to play without having to purchase any of it just fine.
Somehow the NXT bulding amount started bugging on me. It has been going based on the next available upgrade, but at some point it has decided to default to doing 10 for the first, 90 for the second, and then 900 for the third. If the energy is available, it will default to 100 and then 900 (to top it off at 1000). It basically skips all of the other steps. I have restarted firefox and reloaded the page twice. Problem persists. Restarting computer next.
Dodge does NOT leave you unharmed. Can't seem to even make it past the first level since the character must be close enough to get hit in order to land a hit.
occasionally, the paddle does not respond to the mouse. If I change the settings to show the cursor, the problem resolves (although this increases the likelihood that I'll click outside the boundaries of the game). The problem only resolves by closing out firefox and reopening it to load fresh.
There is a bug which causes elephant to get stuck in the ceiling. It seems to occur only when you hit the inside edge of a corner. It probably has something to do with the way collisions with walls are handled. If you reload the page you will start that particular screen over again. If you have obtained items (such as balloons) in this scene, you will need to get them again, otherwise it's no big deal.
We'll fix it with 1.9.0.1 soon
