So. I rather liked this. Between my second and third game I went onto Steam to look at buying the premium set. A bit pricey for me for right now so I came back to Kongregate to play a third game. Not that I have had zero troubles before this point. I've been logged in and have earned several achievements. Third game goes well but somewhere towards day 200 something I notice it says I'm logged out. I can't log in till I reboot my device because, according to Yorg.Io I've logged in from another device. the only other thing was looking at Yorg's store page on Steam so...huh? Lost numerous achievements from the third game and have made no progress. I must admit, I'm a bit less tempted to buy the premium version given how much Yorg depends on being logged in.
Glad the build/play mode thing got fixed. What do these different colored blocks do? Ho do you move the flag? I think is says something about that in that start menu but there's no obvious way to return to that.
So... There doesn't seem to be any pattern to what causes the blocks to change from solid to not. I know it's suppose3d to be when you click on "a color" but that's not turning out to be the case for me. Maybe it's firefox. Ah well.
Working on the key rebinding system right now. I'll see what I can do for the controller support. Thanks for mentioning it.
Edit: Controls should be better now after the update.
So. At a certain point the sheep are simply immune. Given how expensive they get I have no objection. However this game does have a somewhat hidden balancing issue. Not in the exponential more expensive sheep and the line to square ration issue of the expanding board. These are just issues to be overcome with EXTREME levels of income. And that's where the problem I'm seeing comes in. The better idle games have some encouragement to go farther for better reward. Each play through & prestige restart represents finding ones way to the balance point between diminishing returns and expanded gains and slowly pushing that balance point further and further. This game does the opposite. Going farther takes longer for the same level of return. It is faster to gain a 25% bonus 8 times than it is to gain 200% bonus in one run. Going to 300% or more can take hours. But 25% 12 times can be done in a few minutes once you have a reasonable income bonus.
Thank you for the feedback! There was an update pushed today that addresses a few of those issues. The most important one would be that it discourages the quick prestige as the gain per level is not linear any more.
Also, sheep upgrades cost and wolf damage had been changed so it should be more balanced than before.
