I would like to see some story... ... namely, finding out who is buying all the ores you mine, and what exactly the blacksmith does with all your money... and if HE'S the one buying the ores... why?
@Sarah, invest in the idle power. The game will practically play itself while you do other things on your computer, though when you leave your computer, you may want to switch to the one-shot ores for gems.
Btw, I'm going to tell JMTB02 that you stole his idea of creating a game with a single very long level. (I know only a few people will see this before it's disliked, but had to say this joke)
I give up... I read that it was going to be long, but I thought it was going to be staged based... since I don't know if the checkpoints will save my position when I leave or if it's just for when I die, I doubt I'll come back for the medium badge.
Experiment successful. Two days ago I restarted to completely focus on auto-clicking with no clicking whatsoever... just now did an experimental click just to see the damage on my current highest g/s stone: 0 damage when clicking! ... now if only I could figure out what I'm trying to prove, I'd be proud of myself.
With this damage per second and the things health, I estimate it will be destroyed in about 450 seconds, over 7 minutes... ... I'll just sit here until it's done.
Seriously, that is what I'm doing... why?
I have played three different versions of cookie clicker, including cookie clicker classic... unless this version predates even classic, I'm looking at it as a stolen idea.
Against my better judgment, I completely restarted with the purpose of doing the exact opposite as the instructions tell me... if relying solely on auto-click and upgrades doesn't make me bored with this game, nothing save a month without internet will.
The hard badge is actually fairly easy if you are willing to come back every so often and grind. The problem is that there is a cap on the multiplier, but the cap raises as you complete daily missions.
I try quick fight... it automatically tells me I lost. I see a button that says "Play"... I spend the next several minutes watching a fight I know I will lose, and once the fight is over, I absent mindedly click "Play" instead of hitting the X, and am stuck watching the same fight.
I definitely agree with Ethics... it will not let me proceed to day 2 because I only have $10 after orders, and it won't acknowledge I shut off the paper promotion.
