Okay, puzzle me this: Accrued 16 nonillion, got offline for 15 seconds, came back, had 14 nonillion. I don't mind you guys playing fast and loose with the math, but um... wow
WTF?! Had upgrades up to level 100+, went offline to do other stuff while I accrued the last bit for the level 150 upgrade, and !BAM! ALL of my upgrades are gone, my city level is reduced to 1 (it was at 39), all of the energy I earned (Hi Kev/low Mev level) is gone, and this is supposed to be better... how?!
Sometimes energy accrues when I go offline, and sometimes it doesn't. As is, the game is unplayable now, because what am I supposed to do? Come back in ten minutes to see if the game still works? If I do, will it then work when I go offline again? Pffft.
If I read the devs comments of January 26 correctly, this game has been abandoned on Kongregate. Hyper Hippo, care to verify or correct this conclusion?
A lot of times when I go to play this game it doesn't load properly. Like, I'm level 71, but it says I'm level one! The way to fix this is by refreshing the page! So here's a tip for that: turn off your music on the title page. Then if you hear music when you load the game you'll know the game didn't load correctly, and you'll know to refresh the page to make it work.
1st pinata, no commercial. 2nd pinata, watched the commercial ALL THE WAY THROUGH. The only option besides continuing the game was to go offsite to an advertisers website. I don't need a new car so I continued game only to see... 'Sorry, the video didn't finish. Would you like to watch it again?' That's either lousy implementation or it's malicious advertising. Terrible! 1/5
A foreigner visiting the United States for the first time was told, "When you get to America, be sure to go to baseball game. It is great American pastime! And try 'hot dog'. It is great American food!" So he goes to a baseball game and orders a hot dog. When he gets it, he looks in the bun and says, "I understand about eating hot dog, but why do you serve that part?!" The changes between the Alpha and Beta versions of this game are similarly startling. :p
So, after spending 10 hours and 29 minutes in endless mode I generated 22 billion gold, exploded, and got only 45 shards! That's about 25% of what geepope reported (was something changed?), and that translates into a gold bonus of only 8010 gold pieces usable in the next game. So that means I received a bonus of one gold piece reward for every 2,746,566 gold pieces earned in endless mode. As a reward, it leaves a lot to be desired, like, not to put too fine a point on it, a reward! Geeze man, that's a return of one 27,465th of a percent! I strongly suggest rebalancing the work/reward ratio in the game.
Thanks for this game, General Vimes. I've been enjoying it -- but dude, those second questions! Hard to remember finicky details about games played once or twice ten years ago! Good game though. I can feel my brain leaking out my ears -- must be good! :D
