I think i figured out the "no growth"......when my game first loaded, nothing was happening.....it wasn't until i randomly clicked something (after waiting for a little bit) that the "tutorial" started and showed me the lab. i think if you make the tutorial pop up as soon as the game loads the first time, there would be less confusion.
the game seems to be unplayable for me now. i get an error message saying an embedded page at hyperhippo(something,something).net will not allow the page to run, then lists a half page of error messages......anyhow, it's too bad. i really got into this game. had high hopes. hope it gets fixed soon or someone has some feedback. otherwise, i'll have to find something else to kill my time.
just started playing......but a few things that might be interesting.....
1) implement an upgrade system for the slaps. IE 200 slaps buys leather gloves for a 1.5 slap bonus, 500 slaps buys brass knuckles for a 2.0 slap bonus....and so on
2) An idle button so you don't have to hold the button down. idle button could be worth 1/4 speed of button holding.
just a couple ideas.....like i said, just started, but the potential is absolutely there.....
 "NOVA"){kind=icon}
 "Idle accelerator"){kind=icon}
 "Endless Training"){kind=icon}
 "Guild Quest - Beta"){kind=icon}
 "Adrenalite Idle"){kind=icon}
 "Brazen Clicker"){kind=icon}
 "Slap It!"){kind=icon}
It should be popping up right away. This seems to be happening a lot. Trying to fix it at the moment.
