Hopefully either dev adjusts values to make it more easily achievable in the timeframe in case the badge shows up in the future or kong changes the badge.

Idle games as BotD are ok if it isn't some grindy impossible thing. If your idle game doesn't take so long to grind in the beginning a lot of people will jump ship fast.

This "game" if you can call it that absolutely needs to be cheated. Fortunately the way import works means we can ALL share. I can't post links, but you know what you need to do... Utterly criminal this somehow has a score of 3 with so little effort put in.

Just as an update to my previous comment. Saved data was lost from the last BOTD, and I've spent the better part of 7 hours babysitting this junky game and haven't managed to get past run 001 yet. How in the world is someone expected to get this badge in a single day?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I give up. I had a head start. I did a few runs before. I started Run 002 thinking I'll be able to complete it to get the BOTD. It turns out I'd need to wait for over a week to be able to complete it. I wasted so many hours on this run it's too late to do multiple easier runs to get enough buffs to even have a chance.
The only way to get the BOTD from 0 is to play for like 15 hours straight while constantly babysitting the game. So if you want to start right now it's already too late.

I've been playing for a while. I don't know if you can get the second badge in one day, but if it is then it's by prestiging more and by doing run 1 more than once. Good luck.

So to increase the number of light runes I have from 100 to 150 I'm going to need 1.8e14 mana - why do I get the feeling I won't be earning BOTD today?

Said it when this game was up in march and say it again now. Terrible game, terrible badges, and no real instructions or hints on how to progress unless someone has said it in the comments. So tired of all these idle badge games for BoTD

An incremental game that might take a few days to get the medium badge ... *thinks* ... OK, let's put that one as badge of the day on Monday.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
"second run" is not the regular prestige, it's more like a *super* prestige where you lose all your prestige points. see the goal that says "200 light runes"? yeah, when you do that you get the choice to end your current run and start run 002.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
how to get the badge of the day "Second Run – Complete Run 002." ? i did rush prestige tice and i did not unlok it, is it a feture that unlock later?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
OK, I take back what I said - setting your auto-prestige low enough that it just spins through prestige after prestige stops working at some point. Mine appears to be at 904, even after hours of prestiging every couple seconds. I don't know if that's a hard cap or something to do with my level in other ways.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@billco, if you set it at a low enough auto-prestige that it can just prestige over and over again, leave it like that for a couple hours and you'll have a bunch more followers.

I think it bears repeating that the scaling in this game is really skewed. I've hit a point where I can get 350 ash runes in a matter of minutes, if it even takes that long, but I've been waiting several days to be able to get to 400 to complete my run. The prestige bonuses are starting to become really small; less than a 5% boost every time I prestige.
I can't imagine going much further than the hard badge for this game, if I can even get that far.

Hard badge: Do many low level runs to raise Income and Cost Prestige steadily to ~2000%, until higher runs (>003) become easier. Accumulate ~3000% bonus for Magic Runes. This will not only give you a quickstart on each new run, but it will also produce the largest chunk of your income even with higher level runes. If automation hits a wall, switch to manual and focus on your highest income rune first, then the other runes. Prefer runs which can be done either in one quick session or in two sessions with one or two idle days in between. Do a dozen of runs on 003 or 004 and the hard badge can be done on run 005.

Tip: if you are suffering from very slow runs, go back and do some lower level runs, building up your bonuses more before trying higher runs again.

Ok I have been playing a bit more off and on and trying to hit 400 ash runes which honestly seems impossible. My upgrades are all 1/10 of a percent per prestige. THis game could use a lot of love in balance. BTW This has been over a week in the making. Would love to hear from the dev
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Can we get a way to end runs early for perhaps less reward based on how far we got. For instance if we make it 315/400 we get a certain percentage. It would really help in some of these super long slog runs. As an active idler I really like to be able to super prestige at least every 24hrs otherwise I just forget about the game.

This game sucks... been on mission 4 for weeks and still can't get to 350 ash runes...... i'm betting it only gets worse

@desmonde On the main screen there are 10 placeholder dots above Final Goal. When each run ends you earn a dot from the left to the right. When you finish a run and click Reroll easier run you will lose an earned dot. By not rerolling you will save up those dots. The more dots you have, the higher runs you will be offered. I think you need run 003's to go beyond Occult Runes.

Why is the performance so bad? My computer can handle modern games at max settings 4K, but for some reason makes my other internet tab videos ocasionally lag. WTF...

@vuelle the % reduction is based on the current invested into cost reduction. 50 (points increased)/.5 (%) - 100 (base value) = 0 (current investment), 62.5/.375 - 100 = 66.67. Also you can get less points from higher tier runs.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
is it just me or are the cost upgrades way worse now? before the recent update it reduced the price by 50% with 50 prestige points, now it reduces it by 37.5% with 62.5 prestige points.

Seriously think this "game" is a psychology experiment. What happens when an idle gmae provides diminishing rewards? HOw long will people put up with it?

For people who have goals that are too high, you can abort your run 'settings -> abort current run' and chose an easier target. After my first win I selected a '500' goal, without any bonuses this would have taken a lifetime.

-- Since the update, it seems like the Automation is moving slower. Why is this?
-- 1 follower at a time regardless of prestige level? come on, do better.
-- Scaling: Needs to be better as well. 400 Nature runes is relatively easy, 500 takes forever because upgrades do not scale well. Makes everything less of an idle game and more of a active still requires way too much work game.
-- Debuffing: It's difficult enough to do the higher runs, why is the debuffing on prestige rewards and everything **so high** as you do higher runs?
The goal in making an idle game is so people will enjoy coming back to it, seeing progress, and doing a little more each time. This game feels more like it's been made just to keep people struggling longer to make things happen. There's already a lack of story or other interesting aspects to keep interest, don't make the core part of the game completely unfun.
