I think that 1s and 2s should be filled in already; there's no doubt about them, so making us fill them in just kind of wastes our time.
I also completely agree that we should be able to jump right into the "new game" menu after solving and that it would be nice if we could see a gallery of the ones we solved or at least see them when we hover over them in the menu, kind of like in Picma.
That said, this is yet another interesting game from you that I enjoyed playing.
Graphics are okay, but the gameplay is honestly pretty lackluster. Extremely buggy and imbalanced. I used that revive with 30% health item and it froze the charge bars, thus freezing the battle and the game. Also, using in-training items before battles do work for the first battle, and when challenging one of the people, it's possible for the battle to repeat three times in a row for 24 exp each time, not to mention that their monsters never get any tougher.
Advice to players: I tried a balanced build but then restarted and tried stacking POW + 45% crit rate and found that I had no losses whatsoever until my 113th battle in the gold rank when I could have just used an item and won (I had only used one item up until that point). I then found it funny when the assistant was like "oh, I see you're doing battles now" to me afterwards.
Not a good game, I'm surprised it got badges. I only kept playing because I was watching TV at the same time and I'm a sucker for virtual pet/sim games.
I enjoyed this game, though I agree with comments saying this game seems rather dated. It might have done really well if it was released many years ago, but now it just seems a little lackluster in graphics and gameplay. Again, I still enjoyed it and found it interesting. I'd give it a 3.5 out of 5, but I rounded it up to 4. :}
thank you! I'm really glad you still enjoyed it. I wasn't sure what kind of reception it would get, but since it has been generally positive I will definitely work hard to make Week Two better.
Simple, fun, and a good story. It even had some suspense for me, as I was only able to eat the giant asteroid after it was very close to the Earth. That jerkface asteroid kept destroying the asteroids I was gonna eat :p No, it wasn't challenging, complex, innovative, or extremely time consuming, but I still enjoyed it.
I think it would be nice if you could give us the ability to play High or Low using the up and down arrow keys, as it would take at least some of the tediousness out of it. I mean, it's already not very fun and an obvious moneysink to get the trophies, so being able to use the arrow keys instead of clicking might be appreciated much more than you would think.
You "eat" the ice cream in the secret cave by moving your mouse over it. A lot. And I do believe that an exp shop is in the works. At least, I hope so.
The overlapping orders at Burger Ping can get kind of annoying - perhaps this could be solved by making it so that the one that you hover your mouse over will be on top? That, or make it so that they don't overlap each other. Also, I like how you can put more than one "hat" on at the same time, though next time I log in again, my pingy is only wearing one hat. :{ I liked equipping the pyro mask and the pirate hat.
I noticed that if I fill the minecart with rocks, I can't make it go if it's set to run through the bottom track without the cable being on there. It's odd since the guy doesn't even say anything when I try to do that.
What an interesting game. However, I got stuck near the end, at ~9:20 in the walkthrough. I didn't know you could go to the left like that, so I was stuck in the right corner.
I don't really see how we're supposed to be able to find the secret cave, especially since we can't look for it by pressing tab. I've never seen a hint, visual or textual. And the change in ice cream size isn't noticeable enough for me to be able to figure out how I'm supposed to get rid of it, so I'm very thankful for this comment system we have, here. I'm also confused as to why seals NEVER come out of the middle right hole in Whack-A-Seal, and the game never told me that I lose my burgers when I log out :'{ I knew about the fish thing. However, I'm really glad that the creators are so polite and responsive and work so hard to improve their game. I respect them a lot for that, especially after reading some of these comments :p
The graphics are pretty good, the gameplay not so much. The controls are frustrating, and the menu layout could be improved (why do we have to go to the character screen for each character and mash grade up? why can't it just to it by itself? is there another use for LP? If so, at least make it so you could switch between character screens with the arrow keys instead of this ridiculous process). Furthermore, I'd like there to be a way to get back to the main menu from the game. I was playing sandbox mode when I decided I wanted to move on to official arc, but because I can't do that from the game screen, I'm just going to stop playing this game instead.
I like it less than the first one. The gameplay didn't seem to improve, and the main problem of too many things that don't combine/illogical combinations seems to have worsened. I kept looking in the wrong category for certain things. I especially got the monsters and "bad things" categories mixed up.
I lost when I couldn't figure out what hourglass or house meant.
For the hat you can throw in witch-related objects, like the straw doll, the hat, or the broom.
Interest artwork, simple child-like game but with very unclear instructions. Though it seems that the guesswork is part of the intended experience?
The skill system also needs work. Although I am told what photosynthesis does, it is kind of vague and I can't actually see it working when I use it so I can't even tell if it's making a significant difference. Also, I thought it was a passive skill at first, from the description. I would suggest hotkeys, or if you wanted to keep it mouse only, get rid of casting time and make skill switch right click/both mouse buttons/scroll or something.
On the plus side, despite being a mouse-only game, I found it fine to play with a touchpad.
However, I didn't find the graphics that cute, I didn't like the story that much, the music was okay, and the gameplay was kind of okay. Nothing special, looking forward to seeing better from you guys.
The first time I played through this game, I beat it before I got to the last tier. How surprising that there's no sandbox mode/aftergame. Things I didn't like: the evolution system. In the two times I have played through this game (once on another site and once on this site for achievements), I got plant, then beast evolutions, even though odds were in favor of beast for 1st evo both times and even though I was trying not to get those. I found it hard for me to get the metal tokens and much too easy to get beast ones, and there was really not much I could do, but trying to avoid certain tokens and look out for others impeded my enjoyment of the game for sure.
