I didn't get Rift Rider Badge until I did another run and got stuck in the wall instead of after finishing the last rift I needed to do. I was afraid I had to do a whole 'nother rift.
It happened again. Now Sticky-hands Bill was discounted from 50 billion to negative 384,902,144. Less of a profit, but I got the 50 billion upgrade for free. That's a 100.77% discount instead of a 75% discount. The last one was a 117.95% discount.
Not only do BUFFED OUT+ upgrades become half a billion coins more expensive per purchase even though they are on different skills, they also ALL get reset every time you complete a rift. It's for "my benefit" to try out different combinations, but I don't get any coins back, so it's just taking away upgrades to keep me grinding.
The whole game up to the point of earning the BOTD boils down to doing jobs until energy runs out and then fighting until you level up and get more energy. Rinse and repeat. Where's the fun? No seriously. A 1 minute YouTube video contains more fun than playing this game for however long you'd need to play it for to beat it.
What I really love about this game is that we can't turn off the 3 powerups we randomly get and that the chili bomb blows up after already reaching the end, so it just generates Cookinator's stage twice instead of storing it for later.
I wish there was a badge for defeating the Cookinator instead of level 14 rift since that's way too much work for a single hard badge. Even defeating the Cookinator takes hours.
How often do they expect you to beat the game starting from 0 upgrades? The rifts keep getting harder while the upgrades are limited. Soon, I won't be able to beat rifts to get recipe pieces anymore, so I'd have to restart over and over to get enough recipe pieces to be able to start over with max upgrades (40). That is is they aren't reset to 0. I'm not sure of that.
Like the game isn't long enough, they want you to play the game and start with 0 upgrades over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
Make sure to turn Moneyachi to x3 so the next time you play, you get 15 launches with 3 times coin multiplier. Don't play without the coin multiplier. That's way too grindy. The game was clearly designed to work with 3-4 times coins multiplier. The ads don't even work, so I can just click on the cards without watching any ads.
Killing 1000 dragons for 60 points is crazy.
Killing 2 dragons for 5 points is 2.5 points per dragon.
Killing 8 more dragons (10 total) for 15 points is 1.875 points per dragon.
Killing 90 more dragons (100 total) for 30 points is 0.33 points per dragon.
Killing 900 more dragons for 60 points is 0.067 points per dragon.
