For those who don't understand the purpose of a counterweight: It's used to keep two weights in balance, so that moving one side up or down requires minimal force. It does NOT have to be heavier.
The only thing I don't like about this game is, that I have to keep it running. An offline bonus, like a speedup and/or increased mutation chance for some time might be an nice addition.
@Crunchinate: That's what the auto museum & sell options are there for. Once your stash if filled with e.g. full color clovers of the next tier, it will send new combinations to the museum and sell the rest.
Accidently started the game without being logged into kongregate. Now my save is gone. It flashes for a split second when loading the game, but then it goes back to 0 progress. :(
Text color changes (colored outlines) could indicate when hitting max level with the next upgrade or having enough money to hit the break even point when actually ascending.
These are *usually* caused by your browser fragmenting the RAM it's grabbed. In order for the game to start it needs a contiguous block so restarting the browser will fix it. Stupid browsers ...
But perhaps it's not the end ;)
