Honestly, I don't see what the fuss is about Crowd Control and Greed. I made over 18000 twice in a row, but I never failed on Greed. What's weird is the fact that instead, I failed on Back to Basics both those times. Like to show Crowd Control and Greed aren't that hard.
Dyon is correct, mostly. If you click on anything clickable, the game pauses. wait a few secs, and he talks to you. then the last thing he says is giving you gold.
I don't like the "XP for upgrade" thing because i have enough money to buy a super monkey, but i want to buy an upgrade.....too bad. Like for easier to get xp or removal.
