the half hour screen interrupted my snail hill combo! is there a chance it could be a window on the side? or like during the half hour bonus the entire menu bar on the right hand side turns into a half hour bonus alarm thing, and after you actively press it comes up with the half hour bonus screen? This way it won't interrupt any games :). and maybe make the bucket a bit bigger so when it goes across it can catch the other snails in time? also i don't need an auto interest button but it would be nice if there was an auto-burger-selling button! It really sucks to lose burgers if my computer freezes or something. Last thing (sorry I don't want to come off as complaining or anything, I really do enjoy the game and Pingy!) is there a chance to slow down the target range and make it laptop-friendly? I'm sure an overwhelming number of people play on their laptops and it's just goes too fast for us.

When i was at a lower level, I cared a lot about getting money. Now, I really need more exp to level up. I hope you balance this out in the coming updates.

I made a (new) income simulator for the game, it might help some people...

1. Create a Way to get XP faster. I'm now lvl 54 have about a 1 000 000 $, but can't buy anything with it, because i don't have the level for it. More useful quest would be nice (i don't want to play at the slot forever to get a little bit XP, (add some updates here to make this sort of quest easier) add more such things like the snail catcher etc. (something with fishing maybe, because you have to fish a lot)
2. Describe what a update does (especially in your house, but hats are also a little bit of a mystery). And what does the Advertisement in the Burger Ping ? i do not see any change.
3. Maybe it would be good be able to keep your fishes over the sessions, else you'll lose everything if the browser crashes or windows does an update etc...
4. Keep adding upgrades!! Upgrades for everything, for fishing for whalefarming snail catching etc ... maybe some sort of employees, which make whalefarming faster but takes some of your money everytime the fastbar is full.

Your high low and dice game is terrible... theres no way to actually make money, it's worse odds than a real casino. I keep buying mini games after fishing for hours to find that fishing is the only way to make money in this game. I collect snails to make burgers, I buy a counter to sell burgers and find I can't even make my money back. I don't get the feeling that I'm moving forward I only feel that the rest of the game gets me nowhere. please tell me the pool, target range and factory will get me back my investment instead of just sucking away the money I've spent a lot of time earning in the fishing hole which I've been doing since the first day. It's silly to buy stuff that won't help me level faster or get me money to get more stuff.

Whack-a-Seal: Some Seals disappear within less then half a second after they appear. Especially the one in the top-left does it a lot. No way you can click that one in time to keep your combo going. Furthermore it's not clear if a seal disappears because you clicked it or you were too late. Please add a little something to show a "hit" (like a "whack" text or something?).

If it's an idle game, you should be able to earn money as you idle (Even if it's one coin for each time the bar fills)

If it's a 'market', where you actually care about the changing prices, why not let us buy fish there as well as sell them?

Perhaps the High/Low game could be changed so it uses a fixed set of numbers 1-50 or something so its not totally random, and as you get further you have a better chance of guessing right. At the moment it's just too difficult.

I love the game! However their are some glitches that can be overlooked.. My only complaint and thing that seriously turned me off from the game is the target range... its simply too fast for anyone to finish... I can't get the 10 combo and the game did cost 100,000... I dont care about the money but the quest is unattainable right now :)

I agree that it would be good to have a way to keep our fish/burgers. Maybe that could be a purchasable item? Even two; a refrigerator to keep burgers good at Burger Ping, and a bucket to keep your fish fresh? For that matter, those could even be upgradeable-- start with a limit on how many fish/burgers you can keep and let us buy upgrades. I don't mind shelling out; at this point I've got tons of money and not much to spend it on when I don't feel like gambling.
And as to hats, how about a turban? Or a bandanna to go with the cowboy hat?

For people who are having trouble making money, gaining experience, and think the maps are a waste...be patient! Money will eventually become easier to gain (better market prices, burger prices, interest, idle cash), once you gain a better level, buy nice stuff for your house, etc.
Couple ideas:
- Having a lot of trouble with the target range on a lap-top track-pad. Im sure it is easier with a mouse, but maybe a purchasable upgrade to slow the targets a bit, or maybe slower with higher level.
- Also, think the snail catch could be made more fun if you included a couple different types of snails, or fish. One that maybe shrunk or froze your bucket, and one that made it bigger or faster.
Just a couple ideas, keep up the good work

Why is Snail Hills Snail Hills? There are no hills, and the snails, which belong at the bottom of the sea, are raining from the sky? Someone must've divided by zero.

for the the sequel, i guess you could add maybe something like betting on horse racing or maybe you could buy a car or plane or some sort of transportation for Pingy's travel around the world.

Bank - Since this is intended to be an "Idle game" aka, afk. Can it automatically pick up the interest payments?
Fishing - Can there be an auto fish, perhaps it automatically catches a fish every 5-10 minutes or something, this will also help cash flow along with the bank. Just thoughts. Maybe have an "Idle button" you click when you walk away

1) the auto cooker should recognise when you have 5 or more snails as long as it is turned on and aoutomatically cook them rather than turning off and not cooking when it reaches 0 snails even though you ar ecatching more at the time
2) the half an hour prize bar should be reset even if you havent pushed get prize button yet, accumulate for when user does come back
3) Create weapons for whack-a-seal, making it more interesting and also giving higher combos by using said weapons
4) maybe upgradeable rods for fishing OR rods that have higher percentage of catching a certain type of fish

There needs to be a way to make your bucket move faster in Snail Hills. Either make a button make the bucket go faster, allow the control of the bucket with the mouse, or make the snails fall more orderly instead of all over the place! the Snail Combo 5 quest is mostly luck! you have to be lucky for the snails not to spawn on the other side of the screen!

Found a tip for whack-a-seal game.you can click one seal more times and it will count as you clicked more seals.If you click the same seal 2 times,it will count that you clicked 2 seals.+ so everyone can see.

The prizes for achievements are rather disproportionate. IF I get 100,000 in the bank my reward; $1000 and 1000exp. Not that I don't appreciate it, but I am making $2000 in interest at this point. I would adjust these rewards accordingly so that they make a little more impact.

Bug(or maybe not): The description for the quest "Twenty-One 2" is misleading. The actual condition is cashing out with a score of 17(EXACTLY), while the description makes it seem like they want a score that's greater than or equal to 17. Just pointing that out~

Casino games give almost no chance of winning, even with a lot of luck. You can easily enable better profit especially as later on 90% of your profit comes from the bank account anyway. Slot machine could be cool, but it absolutely needs a pre-set working time. As it is now it can roll anywhere between 0,5 to over 5 seconds, and that can sometimes get irritating as hell. Set the rolling time to about 1-2 seconds always. Adding an animation would be also nice.
Maybe think about basing the fishing on skill as well and adding a combo mater. I don't know some kind of bar that fluctuates between full and empty and you have to stop it in the middle to actually reel successfully.

Would it be possible to have a button to immediately show the results of your slot machine spins? This would obviously be for the compulsive gambler types like me that want to maximize how many spins they can do in a small time frame. Otherwise, this game is fantastically addictive! Great Job!

Please speed up how exp loads on start-up and when buying exp. I'm at level 133. It takes over 10 billion exp to get to the next level. I've already bought enough exp to get to level 134. However, it takes about 1 hour for exp to load about 2 billion. So after buying the exp, it takes ~5 hours for it all to load. In a few levels, I'm sure, it will take a full day to load the exp needed to level. Then soon a full week. If the rumors are true that the final achievement is level 200, that might take a full month to load the exp. Please speed up the exp load. +If you agree.

How about getting the rescued pinguin from the pool as a helper (yeah he is REALLY thankful). If you place him at the market, he will sell fish whenever the price is about 3/4 from maximum. At the bank he could collect the interest every half hour if player isn't reacting. On Snail Farm he collects a hand full of snakes every 5 Minutes, at Burger Ping he sells when Burgers are ready. At Factory he could remove some random fishes to get a litte space while working...

I had an idea for the snail catching game. Either upgrades, so like pay 1000 for a bigger/faster/wider bucket or power-ups that fall (maybe as coloured snow flakes?) that allow temporary speed/width boosts? Loving the game regardless. Thanks for all the effort ^.^

Some numbers for ya'll, Garden VS Whale Farming
Garden: I get 200 exp per fast bar fill, the bar fills about every...3.5 seconds thats about 17 times a minute, yielding a little over 205,000 Experience per hour...respectable...
Whale farming: It took me almost exactly 9 minutes from an empty inventory to buy bait, catch 10 goldfish and 300 snails, turn them into burgers and farm the 10 fish into whales....extrapolating a bit i could farm around 65 whales an hour...on my last whale farmed i collected 10720 xp. So if i farmed for an hour that 65th whale would yield 10850 exp for an average of 10785 per whale. 10785*65=701,025exp per hour... And thats just from the whales, that doesnt even factor in the 100k from fastbar exp or from the snails/fish caught during the process...and the more whales you farm, the difference gets exponentially greater!

Welp, this sucks. I was playing this game a couple of hours a go, and I was level 53 with almost 1,000,000 coins racked up. I close the window, go to the store to get some groceries. I come back and open up this game to only see that it reset me to level 7... I am pretty pissed right now. I have no idea what happened, so if somebody has any idea how it happened or how I can revert it, please help.

Alright, I just found out how to eat the ice cream. To find it, click just to the left of where Pingy's standing in the Credits screen. To eat it, you just have to mouse over it... about A THOUSAND TIMES. This really needs to be made quicker. Not only are people going to wear out their mouse getting it, but most people won't even notice that it's shrinking when they mouse over it. Not to mention that the "hit box" gets smaller as the ice cream does, meaning you need more precise movements to wear it down...

Here are some of my ideas for a sequel(Please,do a sequel) or an update for the game.
1.The fishing mini game should have different types of rods, say an auto fishing rod,a rod to catch certain types of fish(Goldfish and Whale etc) You could do some sort of combo system so that each fish gives you more xp.There is no need to catch Snails from fishing once you get the Snail Farm so if the snail was not catchable(i know it is not a world lol) you would have a better chance of getting the better fish.
You could make the rods upgradeable to give them a better chance of getter rarer fish,especially the auto one.
2.What about an upgrade so you get more exp from the bar each time it goes up.48xp is awful at level 44.You could have different levels of peguns to buy,the max being an emperor penguin of course.Let us up grade and or buy more cloths,that way you could put more effects onto them.Maybe you can get a hat that gives you 5 times your xp form all places?
