I like this game. The only thing I don't like is that it is actually not an 'idle' game. For me, an 'idle' game continues to play itself in the background, or, even better, when I'm offline. This game does neither. A game that you are required to play in order to progress cannot be called an 'idle' game. So the word 'idle' is a misnomer. But I won't let semantics distract me from the fact that this is a great game!
I don't understand why this game has only a 3.4 rating. It requires quite a bit of thought to solve, even though its mechanics are simple. In that regard, it's the perfect puzzle game. 5 stars.
If you use the laser, the asteroids can help you replenish your shield quickly by shooting them. They're slow critters and seem to have a lot of HP, so your shield should replenish in no time.
The high scores take a long while to update... but I guess this is not a problem that you can solve. Sometimes it takes several hours later for the game to update my correct high score.
With today's balancing (11 August), the game is now much harder. It feels like I'm playing a totally different game now. Whoever has won games in the hundreds is now impossible to reach. Perhaps the number of games completed should be reset.
An 'Are you sure?' message when clicking on the 'Sell All' button would be welcome. Also, something stating that button actually sells all your inventory would be even more welcome.
I completed the game. I found Levels 16 and 18 the most difficult. Level 19 was almost too easy by comparison - I completed it in the second try. Great game!
For those people who have no sound on Chrome: it's caused by a recent Chrome update. If you want sound, type chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy in your Chrome window, press ENTER, then in the drop-down menu "Autoplay-policy", click on 'no user gesture required'. You should have sound after relaunching Chrome.
Hi - can you give me more info about this? - Do you quit the game and go back to the main menu and find that there are no saved games listed - or are you shutting down the browser before going to the load game screen? (either way shoudl work fine) - are the games listed but then you can't load them, or is no games shown. I'm findin it hard to reproduce this bug. What brower and OS are you using?
Many thanks for posting a workaround in the meantime.
If you're talking about the ship skill, it just raises your damages. Btw when you refresh the browser let me know via PM how things are right now.
