Enjoying this game so far. Started a few days ago, shared others' sentiments about undesirable progress rate, but 1.0.5 def makes Tier 2 more bearable and I see you're still hard at work with even more updates. Good to see you're taking comments into consideration and I'm sure once it's all smoothed out it'll be a great idler.
@anarchyash, if you look under the achievements tab you can see the newspapers give you multiplier bonuses for the other businesses. That's why they're valuable.
Really fun and addictive but could use some improvement. I agree there should be an option to turn off particles, it's really laggy for me which causes the game timer to run slower than actual time which is hampering my DPS. :\ I would also suggest that the paddle and star shooter minigames get some kind of buff since they're easily outdone by the other minigames, to the point where it appears to be a waste of money to buy more than one or two, which I would imagine undermines the mosaic theme.
Other than that it's a solid game with a unique spin on the idle game formula. :)
Ok... for those having problems understanding the rules I think I've figured it out. 1. The number below the bar is how many balls are on screen, the number to the right is the max number. If you exceed that number (ie 100) you lose. 2. The clear balls at the top are your misses, after four misses it shoots more balls on the clump. What constitutes a miss are making a shot that doesn't break a group of balls (there must be at least three) and skipping a ball when you shoot. It takes a couple of seconds for the "miss" to register. Using bombs doesn't count as a miss as far as I can tell. Anyway like others have said, it's an interesting game but is quite slow and we get punished too much for how often there are times when there simply isn't a shot we can make. I sincerely hope to see this game updated as it has a lot of potential, but not great as it stands.
Overall an awesome game, the gameplay could use more depth but the boss fights are great fun and the story and humor are really spectacular and definitely set this apart from other games of its kind.
