This game feels like the developer found out about idle/incremental games and then decided to make one that does everything wrong.
As you progress, improving to get faster, the early floors stop providing rewards so you have to take longer to get anywhere, so it's not a very good incremental game.
When you get to the point the lift gets an upgrade it stops functioning without intervention, so it stops being an idler.
If you leave the game offline, and come back to it, your offline rewards are a very minor time boost, so it also fails at being something you can just come back to occasionally.
All in all the game is just bad.

First time I built floor 3 I didn't get the badge. Restarted (4 golden bricks) and as soon as I built floor 3 again it worked.

"You were away for: 6 months, 0.9000000000000021 weeks / Time bonus received: 35m 57s" Nice to know it counts with such precision.

so you can click on the lift to speed it up. not sure why they don't tell u that in game or give it a speed up but whatever

well if nothing else, at least you can hold down the RMB and it will autoclick, instead of needing to manually click every time...

The progression is insanely difficult. You are practically relying on getting the bonus presents for 4k, otherwise you will be stuck for a long time clicking. Not fun

I only came for the BOTD but I'm quite enjoying this. The controls stick a bit in edge, though. Is there a browser it works better in?

The first science thing is Galileo, who will need some coins forst. I forget how much. The rule of thumb is you need at least 10% of the price before you can even see the improvement you want to buy. After helicopter you will want the Caravanserai to the left of the Field and the Fountain. That will help with cash flow. Once you buy Galileo you must improve him with science. First level Galileo gives 1 science from each apple dropped. Mine makes 44.2K. But after level 14 you can buy the Telescope that makes most of the science. As always if getting coins is too hard simply restart to get more golden bricks.

Is there any other trigger to allow the start of Science besides "after floor 11"? I've just started floor 13 and still no sign of Science...

I believe it's cheese, not rock. You mine the moon to build a tower for the crystal that gives an extra brick whenever you lay a brick on a layer, as long as the crystal is higher than the floor you are building.

floor 20 would be muuuch easier on uptodate version o-o ufo base greatly boosts brick creation... and science gathering buff doesn't seem to work on kongregate... (moon stairs tripples the bricks, but 100B science is just impossible... like you send 1 brick to the cannon... and 3 bricks are built instead, speeds up stuff greatly)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
according to google... we are playing on outdated version of this game o-O kongregate has trash version... you won't get new upgrades the moment you get message to "submit ideas to creator"... which is supposed to be on floor 31 while on kong it popped around floor 16(moon stairs) or 17(ufo base) or 18(gems lab)... (forgot already which one popped it for me)

@torm in addition to the the apple getting science, there is another science getter that's a littlr star-gazer that you'll get and it'll help you accumulate science. It is pretty lame though that some things like getting science and making gunpowder can't be sped up manually

A tip for beginners: get a macro recorder ASAP.
Once you get 192 golden bricks, record the mouse and restart every second.
You get 1 golden brick for every level and you need 3x more brick to fill a level. It takes 9k restarts to get level 6 and 37k to get level 10.
You'll fall to CTS long before those badges.

SO how do you get more science? Scince accumulates so slowly as to be worthless past the first few upgrades. To get enough science for the clock will take years of game time as there is no click mechanic on science or anyway to increase the amount earnt. I am at 107 plus science upgrades and I get 6k an apple if I need billions for some of the upgrades is ridiculous.

Yeah, for anyone wondering, you need 100Sp for the first science upgrade. it won't appear until you have 10Sp money. (10% as others mentioned) I agree the game is a bit slow, even too slow for a good idle game. There are science upgrades that add more bricks once you unlock the lab. And until then the game is just a slow grind that feels like you are not getting anywhere.

I just completed the impossible badge and I did not encounter any problem with galileo or caravanserai, even though I bought galileo after the helicopter.
At 15 floor there's a missing window, I thought I would be able to build something there but even with 8e51 coins no button to build something showed up. Probably it's something that will be added later or it has some requirements I don't meet like having artifacts or a lot of science.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
info to people who can't get upgrades after helicopter -> you need to have 10% of price on hand for purchase button to appear, I reached 13th floor before I realized I can buy galileo because I kept spending money

Like Torm, I have also reached floor 13 without any new upgrades after the helicopter.
I do enjoy the game, but it's almost impossible to advance without Caravanserai, Galileo, and whatever else may come higher up.

So I have got to floor 13 and had no science or other upgrades since I got the helicopter. So game is not only broken due to shit design but broken altogether.

Two tips that shouldn't get buried: 1. (from mike439) when going for the later badges, there's one trick I found: As soon as restarting gets you to a point where you would get at least 1 brick for another (instant) restart, just do that. Should be around 200 bricks. Restart for 1 brick per 3(+1) clicks over and over again until you feel you have enough to go for the imp badge. 2. (from korven999) @Everyone! You can click on the lift to speed up liftspeed!!!! Seems like a lot of people lacking sleep because of this + so ppl see this

The impossible badge took a bit less than three days but the issue is the fact that it REALLY doesn't want to award itself. I've finished the game but it's still stuck at 17.

The difficulty of these badges is just too high. They take too much time. Easy badges feel like medium, medium ones feel like hard. Haven't got even close to hard badges but I bet they feel impossibile and the impossible badge must be something that takes years.

Naturally, besides having to move bricks up more floors, the bricks also move much slower. Because why not make it even more annoying? No access to science until floor 10 complete makes this easily one of the absolute worst "idle/clickers" I've ever seen. Such facts do not change just because of Russian invasion on Ukraine. Nor does my point of view that Putin is evil. Seriously, THERE EXiST BETTER WAYS TO SUPPORT UKRAiNE THAN PAYiNG REAL WORLD MONEY ON THiS GAME AND/OR PLAYiNG OTHER GAMES MADE BY THESE DEVS.

You don't need to click constantly,, you can hold down click and it'll keep going. Not sure if it explains it later, but clicked a few hundred times before learning this.

I can keep up with the brick production, but the plank production is way too slow. The upgrade prices are way too high too because I'm not getting exponential gains yet.

@DeathSkeleton8 At the time I posted it, it was still "Brick Collector Junior" for the BotD. Not my fault they changed the badge after I commented about that one taking most of a day. And also fun that *I* got downvoted, but not the guy who said it was time for the "Badge of the day and a half" also remarking about how long that gold brick badge was gonna take.

As it is an Idle game, it would be nice if it also produces/craft offline. I get the "fast forward" option as an offset, but would be nice if it still produces/crafts even a portion.
Its nice that you get a way to generate money at floor 7 (bit on the late side, but still nice)
