Please contact Kongregate about this - the way the code works I have to trust them if they say ads are available which is what's happening (incorrectly) in this case!

Aside from my praise, I would also suggest two features from the original:
Overview screen(s) where you can buy multiple of each creature in its category (advanced view options on original)
Disabling of upgrade notifications - I ignore twins during the early game, would be nice if the notifications for specific upgrades could be turned off

need a way to get more base energy regen, otherwise non-paying players cannot get higher than certain ammount below 1/s, and it's horrible. No mutations for this/no crystal upgrades nothing to increase it.

For some reason this just works better as a text game. Swarm Sim always been one of my fav idle games (one of few I actually liked) but it feels like this graphical interface doesn't really add anything, and instead takes away from the game in different ways, such as less oversight over things. It also feels like things are less clear = more confusing.

Okay so biggest critique: The triple loot articles always display pictures of kittens yet the articles are never actually about kittens. I feel like you keep lying to me.

This does nothing but nerf things in swarm simulator, add bad graphics and music, then asks you to pay to go at the same rate as the old game. No new spells, no new mutations, and a terrible new mini game that is an annoying chore.

It might just be me, but the triple loot button upon catching a golden bug (option to watch an ad) is not functioning. Otherwise, I have had a great time playing a wonderful remake of a classic! The most I can hope for is that the dev does not give up, continues work, and that the community supports the game as much as we're able to!
Hi there, not just you - it looks like Kongregate broke their own ads, seems to be affecting many games. Great to hear you're enjoying it regardless :)

OMG i played the HECKK out of the first one, still to this day the idle game i played the most
i LOOOVE how all the graphics are in one scene, very clever
(also seeing what you thought the bugs looked like was cool, i was thinking starship trooper style aliens, but thats the benefit of a text game i guess)

Also I'd rather have the feature in the original swarm sim where clicking on the cost of an upgrade you can't afford directs you to the required bug type with the required @buy amount filled in for you. Having to do multiple calculations for this is super tedious especially when you start chaining in to 2 or even 3 higher level meat bug types to buy twin upgrades.

It takes some of the fun out of the game to be forced to go through the tutorial. The enjoyment of discovering new items, of getting your first queen, or seeing how much faster your food grows ... all of that is eliminated when I'm just clicking on highlighted buttons following a tutorial. Wish I could skip it and learn the game for myself.

triple loot seems to never work for me.. don't have adblock on & I've had ads from other games work as well, so idk why they aren't working with this game =(

After a while, the game is way too slow for active play. And since in incremental games you need to be brain dead to even consider spending real money, there is no interest in playing anymore.
Too bad because I though the ant idea was fun and the upgrade mechanism was clever.

It would be nice to have a way to not get notifications for upgrades you don't want, by setting the custom qty to 0, but that doesnt do anything

QuL sugegstion: for nexus add all spells into sub-tab and all creaturea into sub-tab, current form with all spread is bit messy

Think you screwed up the twins thing with the last update. While it IS reducing costs, I am still only getting ONE when click buy even when I have twins level 3. I should be getting 3 each time I buy one. If this is not meant to be the case, then you should NOT call the call the upgrade twins. It should simply be cost reduction. But to be clear, I know when I first started playing, haveing twins level 3 DID buy 3 when I bought clicked buy one. Fix please.

Not bad, but I wish it had more stuff from the original as others have said. For example, I may just not be able to tell how to do it, but in the original it was easy to set the notifications for an upgrade at twice the cost, you could see how many queens for example you can buy every second, which is missing here.

I have trouble clicking "Double Your Earnings" button on login, and I am forced to either click away or refresh the page, so I lose my bonus.
Hotfix?
