The calculation for the score:
10^3*n
n=score
so, 22=10^3*22
or, 10^66

Wow. Got on today, and all my progress reset. Same browser, didnt clear cookies / history, same kongregate account. I saved 5 times before this and saved right before i got off.

@nora: in addition - all colors gain the same amount of money per rev - the number shown on the right. the multipliers at the top just show how much of that money/rev are impacted by the individual colors
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@nora: a) costs are increasing. at some point you can buy 1 rev for red or 10 for orange. since increases multiply, the second option becomes better at some point. b) you need to think percentage wise. 100 revs on red increased by 1 make 101 revs or 1% gain. 5 revs on orange, increased by 1 make 6 or 20% increase. multiplications work best with equal numbers on both sides of the equation. 5*5 is more than 10*1

norathem, each circle functions as a multiplier. So if you bring a second circle to a bonus of just 2, it means that your entire production will already get doubled! Therefore, it makes sense to invest in other vircles than red as well :)

I am not quite sure about the balance in this game: maybe I miss something but why would I ever want to upgrade something else than red - atleast for a very long time. It get's the best time increase + it nets the most money per round. Since it is that fast the amount of money per rev is also increasing the fastest. So it seems wise to always invest in red to get the best ROI except for when it is ridiclious far ahead.

Basic MpL promotion is absurdly strong. It would be still be the strongest if it were taken to the 1/12th power. It's that OP.

For the newbies including @Moore1944, by default your colors generate a multiplier, without ascending this multiplier is 0.01/rev. Ascending does what it says: multiplies the multiplier that a rev gives by 10x. It may look like you lose profits, but in the long run you will profit.
Prestiging is divided into two things, Power and Prestige Multiplier.
Power is basically: x^n where x is your gain per sec and n is the power you gain from prestiging.
Prestige Multiplier is a multiplier that is added to your earnings. Think of it as another color, but its set.

How about logarithm as a notation. As in showing log(value) instead of value. It would be easier to judge how fast values are growing, and values could be shown with a single number instead of the kinda ugly "number x 10power".

@GoSkins93 - I dont understand this. By top left do you mean 'Ascend'? Why would you do this as soon as possible? Your revs will go down and therefore your gain per second will go down unless you can afford to ascend and get it back to the previous max. (e.g. for red, Ascend from 6.0 and get straight back to 6.0 or higher).
Top right - what is this? The prestige? I still dont get this or the prestige multiplier.
As for bottom right and anything else you've added - I don't know what you're talking about. The only upgrade options are Ascend and Prestige...

Great Idle, Simple and fun ;) Think about relasing it on Android
Option to auto-prestige would be great, I like to keep my numbers 'pretty'

My computer clock went backwards because of my battery problem and now i am a cheater... At least control if time went backwards

To fix the blinking buttons, simply go into options and change the style to a different one. you can change it right back if you want, I believe it is because the game doesn't set your style to anything before you pick one, so it goes haywire.

That is so that people actually know how much money they have. (It tells what the number is and the abbreviation).

When the speed glitch came up, this game became fantastic, dynamic, fast, enjoyable, a 10/10. After its removal, it turned a verrrry slow game. I have 1.33 power, it was a day from 1.32, and I have nowhere to promote. 1000 times faster circles not only mean 1000x income, but the multipliers also go 1000x faster, which is way better than having 2 more circles with some quintillon multiplier total. Please bring back the massive speed-up :)

Promotion Details:
Top Left- Affects the multiplier gained per lap. Originally it starts at .01/lap. Should be promoted as soon as you get the promotion option
Top Right- Affects how much speed up you get per upgrade. I.E. red starts at .06 per upgrade but top right x2 would give you .12 per upgrade. Should be the second promotion you target.
Bottom Right- Increases the amount of speed before ascension. Also increases ascension bonus based on formula 10^(MAPA/100). Should be your 3rd foucs
Bottom Left- Self explanatory. Increases the rate at which you gain prestige. Should be your 4th promotion.
Then pretty much just go in a loop. The only exact value is to promote top left ASAP.

Would be nice to be able to see promotions outside of the promotions menu. Makes it hard to remember what perks you have if you're far removed from getting a promotion. Also, a more thorough explanation of how they all work would be nice!

When choosing the upgrade MAPA per ascention promotion, it wipes out all of the previous promotions I've gained. Great game other than the fact that it sets you back to square 1 without warning.

Is it worth is to promote? i am currently on 12m prestige, but a promotion doesnt seem to give much at all? can someone explain the benefit to me
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Promotions are really confusing, and I have trouble figuring out how much the abbreviations mean. Also stats would be nice.

My progress is lost each time I log on. Guess I'll have to wait for the im-/export functionality to really get somewhere in this game.

A few small usability improvements I'd like to see:
1) Indicate how many upgrades will "max" buy (not just the impact). (This would fit on first line on each button if Lap/Sec were replaced by L/s
2) Make buttons look disabled when I don't have enough money to buy at current buy setting. For buying by 1 it's obvious (the button says +0) but for others I would need to compare value on the button with current cash.
(See i.e. how RealmGrinder does it).
3) Show how many upgrades the button currently has
4) Please, please, don't use centered texts. It's very annoying for my eyes how the texts constantly jump around due to using proportional fonts and varying text lengths... (button labels, main label below circles, all three labels top right)

Hi, please add the unit (the short one) to the amount of money you have. for Example: 122 Quattourquagintillion ->> (qq). So its synchronal to the money per second and the costs per upgrade! :) btw geate game!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Autobuy would be nice, perhaps as a very expensive promote option! Perhaps you could have it upgradable, like autobuy starts at once per minute, and upgrades decrease the time interval. could even set options to autobuy "least expensive/highest DPS increase/etc first". jst a suggestions. For us long term players, after the 500th prest and 100th promotion, all the buying can get tiresome, and a little more AFK help wouldn't hurt. (I realize we DO get AFK help as the multipliers increase, but after a while, it's not enough.)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Loving the simplicity of this game! One suggestion? Is it possible to add a display for what level/ascension each circle is? Help plan out working towards ascensions and whatnot =)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The promotions appear to be ordered in the order you should buy them, basic MPL, then lap speed, then prestige, then MAPA (whatever that does...???)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Something strange happened with my promotions... I had points invested in MAPA whatever that is and now they've disappeared...

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. :(
