~111 hours to get enough energy for anscesion.. i hope it will be worth, cause its looks like itstoo much for first ascension so far. Especially, that you get required amount of expansions and hatchery pretty fast.

I feel like the Achievements menu could be better optimized.
A scrollbar on the side so you don't have to manually do it for minutes to reach the bottom or top would be a good start. Maybe separate them into their own separate pages for the different types of them?
Yup, they are ... Easy to make an argument either way on this one, the reason they've been left as-is is because it's kinda fun to see the crazy time scales shrink to seconds as you watch.

why is there no local save? Also, someone else posted that local save isn't working, and they were modded down. Save is an important issue!
Hi there, there is a local save but it seems it's not working for a few people ... so far all I've been able to work out is that it might be related to using Firefox on Win 10 with certain security settings in place - if anyone having issues with local save could contact me (contact@scarybee.com) with details about their setup that would be helpful!

click on the tutorial pop up to spam click through them. you dont need nexus 5 for ascension or to unlock mutagen. spend the crystal it takes to go from nexus 3-4 you will regain those crystal in no time at all.

The rocket-fuel requirements are pure shit designed to force players to spend crystals. 200000 energy = 200 rocket fuel, to use mutagen. That's 10+ days.
Hi there ... some things in the game *are* easier if you spend Crystals to speed them up, exactly the same as the original version. The reason for changing the Ascension mechanic to use Rocket Fuel instead of just spending Energy was to make it easier to understand progress towards it. The way the math works out it's actually a lot faster in the newer version, even more so if you double offline earnings by watching a video ad, collect Fuel from Gold Bugs, etc.

where is this "fast forward through" option? your tut pops up and takes complete control of my screen, refusing to allow me to click anything but the single thing it wants me to. also making this crap unplayable.

the carapace shards show up on the individual unit that gets one, the other units will show 0 until they get one of their own, or many of their own.

This is my favorite game out of all of these. I Givs the develepers my thansk. The one thing I would like to change is that we can get through the game faster, because I am stuck at the energy part and I have no idea what is going on anymore. Can U fix that plz?
Glad you like it :) There's a ton of extra information in the in-game Swarmpedia to help out or you can always try asking more specific questions in chat ... long term though the game does expect you to take breaks, come back when your Energy has refilled etc.

Tutorial tells me, that i just found a "Carapace Shard" and explained me what it is. But the game tells me i have 0 Carapace Shards

Also copy the "hide notification" system from the original game would be nice. Or maybe I can just not find it? Where can I hide the notification for Twin Units when I don't want to ugprade it anymore?

Lost my save and can't get it back from the cloud apparently.. also i hated the tutorial the first time and it's worst the second. Also.. don't force us to buy upgrade in the tutorial that would be at a loss.. like the speed up thingy when i have 90 drone and i have to spend 66 to speed up by 2 time the prod of food.. pure loss.
Hi there ... for save games, I've heard of players having issues with local saves in some Firefox versions, would be great to get more detail about your setup if you could let us know! That said the cloud save should have saved you regardless ... unless you have a network policy blocking playfab.com (where the clod saves get stored) somehow?

After reading the comments I tried everything I could to avoid the tutorial, but no skip option, no disable tutorial in settings - and for now the tutorial was too unbearable to continue the game. It was a special flavour of painful I haven't come across before.

So far so good, but there's one major feature I've been missing from the original.
The original had this really nice QoL feature that made it really easy buy exact numbers of units for upgrades and such. So for example, my next twins upgrade for drones needs 100 queens, so I click it and the game takes me to queens with 100 filled in as the amount to purchase. It then tells me that costs 10000 drones, so again I click that and I'm back to drones with my custom amount set to 10000.
You could also use the @ symbol to buy up to a specified amount which was handy. Overall buying units in this version with precise control is pretty tedious.
Hi, thanks for the feedback ... there were definitely some nice QoL features in the original that just haven't made it into the new one ... yet! v1.4.16 changes some of that (you can now use the @ prefix and can also use number suffixes like 'k' for quick entry) enjoy!

thanks :D I am really enjoying this :) instead of the normal barthings, finally the same concept only with ART ! THANKS

My biggest issue is the font... everything is so bright and nice, and the font is white and small, its really hard to read in many places. But then again, I am playing from my couch so its like 2 meters away

This is worse than the original in every way, and all of the "new" features are invariably just money sinks that don't actually add anything to the gameplay. Just more of the same from ScaryBee, nothing to see here folks.

I saw the top-5 comments about the tutorial and I was afraid it would kill this game for me. The tutorial lasted roughly 3'. I'm pretty amazed about your lack of patience people..
Part of the issue is that a LOT of people have played the original so really don't need the start of the tutorial ... hard to balance that against all the people who are getting to experience all the Swarm goodness for the first time!

Talk about an unnecessary overhaul that only serves as a complete detriment. Should've stuck with updating the original here, folks.

"The tutorial takes a few minutes to complete, people are just complaining because they've played the game too much. As a returning player I didn't mind having to go through it again just as a good refresher."
Wat, this is the first time im playing the game. And i think the tutorial is to much. Its a new game and the dev thinks im to stupid to figure things out, besides the magic of playing a new game is diminished by having EVERYTHING in the tutorial and not letting me figure the simplest things out. Good you did not mind, im getting tired of devs thinking ppl aren't smart enough to play the game they made without holding ppls hands.

Really need an option to turn off upgrade notification twin upgrade isn't that important after a certain point for production.

The original is way better. Idle games don't need fancy graphics, they just need content and numbers going up. This isn't an evolution, it's a devolution. You have taken several steps backwards. Hell, Ignoring the graphics, the original played better, trying to use the controls on this one is obnoxious. I played the original for so long, please just update it.

Can't the fun in a game be to learn how to play it anymore? Do you really need to hold my hand through every single step and play the game for me?
Original: 5/5 This: 1/5 Figure out why.

GUI is worse that SwarmSim. Tutorial makes the game too frustrating to play. Just update the original. It was so fun but needed more content.
