In response to the message about a sequel:
My biggest request for the next game is to be able to continuously play it. ---Normally when I get into a new idle game I play for 10-15 mins. and then I open up a different game in another tab and switch between while I wait for stuff to happen.
The only example of an idle game where this didn't happen was good-old Anti-idle. Pingy came kinda close, but Anti-idle's separate modules meshed together better. (When yo played one part yo got stuff that boosted the other parts.)

In the sequel we could do something for the bank like the longer we deposit the more we get money or the more money we deposit the faster we get the interest or the 2 no not the two that would cheated

A sequel? Good idea! :D I really liked the game until my save got erased :'( but I think the world travelling is a good idea and why not add some pets too? :D

I think that a good idea, would be to add a racing game into the mix! I find that if you could pull something like that of, I would love the sequel! With humble regards, pingster102. (septorex102, im just messin with ya pingy ;))

Idea for a mini-game: make pingy an alchemist, he has to combine ingredients to make new things, like Doodle God, except you have to get the ingredients in some way, like fishing or catching them in the snail hills.

I think it would be great if there was a Worms-style minigame that other people can play online( or if not possible some bots maybe :) ), like for example SSL2. It would be nice if it includes another currency specialized for it and getting rewards for winning tournaments and/or regular matches that can be claimed as bonuses for the main game. It would also be nice if you will be ranked by leagues ( -NEWBIE-, -INITIATE-, -AMATEUR-, -EXPERIENCED-, -CHAMPION-, -LEGEND-, -PENGUISHER-) Do you like it? If so, +1 my idea so that developer can see ^-^

How about you give Pingy a villain like a penguin who is jealous of Pingy being so good at the game and it would also be cool if you could fight the villain while the game progresses. p.s can you name the villain dingy his arch nemesis of the evil fortress

add upgrades,more upgrades for the fishing, add thease 3 upgrades:1.lure upgrade: increases the time the fish stays hanging on the lure.2.lucky bait upgrade,increases the chance of caching better fishes it should increase the chance of finding better fish (from golden fish to whale)but it will also decrease the chance of caching snails.3.more caches:increases how many fish you can cach per once,it should be the most priced upgrade

I got a message speaking about a possible sequel so very pleased and would love to play it, but will we be keeping vip status?

I agree with interactive games and upgrades.
Otherwise, I'd like to see some (very simple) RPG/Battle mini-game.
With big numbers.
I like big numbers.

Heyo, returning from being a 2011 VIP because of the message you sent out. One thing I'd like to see in a Sequel is just more interactive games for when you're not idling. For whatever reason, the interactive games in idle games are more important than the idling system itself. One example is AATG's Battle Arena. A lot of people would be satisfied just playing the battle arena itself. Also, a more in-depth upgrade system (as opposed to just buyin hats) would be welcome. Also, I like how you did a bit with the community aspect, with VIP and the events you had at holidays and whatnot.
Ty :D

This is in reply to your message regarding a sequel. I think it would be great to have a Pingy sequel.
Firstly pacing is important to keep the player interested in playing your game. A good way to pace your game is by making sure there is always an achievable goal in front of the player.
Another important feature is to make sure game play evolves over the course of the game. This means having new mechanics and different things to do as the game goes on. It also means giving the player multiple ways of achieving the same goal as they have a sense of choice.
One more important feature to take into consideration is giving the player something to create. In the sense a long term goal to build on. This would generally be the thing that every part of the game helps you to build and create. It gives an overall sense of purpose to the game.
Good luck in making your sequel I look forward to playing it.

Different mini games, some with upgrades some without. examples, 1. dodge the snowballs a variation of good ol' donkey kong with an evil snowman who throws balls down the way. 2. sidescroller with standard upgrades with some form of item crafting 3. some escape (...the icecastle?)... only some games should use the same currency and maybe could even build on one another. f.e armor in a sidescroller helps also in a platformer.

I really just want to play in the "beta" testing of the game, I have played this game three times getting to lvl. 70 on all of them, please let me into the beta. Also this was the first idle game I ever played :D

Biggest thing a good idle game needs is minigames. Tons of minigames. Give as many players as possible a good hobby to keep them in the game and playing. There also needs to be an infinite (or near infinite) progression system of some kind. People like carrots on sticks, give them so many carrots they think they're bunnies. Or fish for penguins, I guess. You get the idea.

its been what 4 years since this game has been posted?
Its still a hit and amazing game.
But it can still improve! If he makes a 2nd part of this i will definitely play it!

i would like to see some sort of spy game where pingy needs to inlfutrate a building or somewhere through a vent system or something along those lines. perhaps adding a where's waldo type mini game would be fun

I really did enjoy this game and I played it quite a lot. What killed it for me were the impossible achievements. Like that target shooting--how can a human meet those goals?? Eventually I had unlocked everything I could hope to unlock and everything else was so impossible it was discouraging. But then I tend to be a completist in gaming. I want to unlock everything. XD

I forgot about this game... Good to see that a sequel is incoming.
I think that it'd be cool is the next game had more hats to blow my money on. Like all new amazing games. Yeah.
Or rather, a story(i don't mean anything complex), but WHY am I doing all this? Is he just greedy and wants all the money? Maybe he is trying to pay his cousin's medical bills because he flew too much(hue)

For a sequel, you definitively need to have a sort of upgrade system for the fishing rods. Like add durability to it, and then add some upgrades to upgrade durability (and if it breaks you have to repair it), upgrade bait, have different kind of baits, one for whales and one for goldfish, and perhaps a sort of screen so you can see the fish underwater, which also could have upgrades.
You could also add some different rods, one for small fish but often, one for big and rare, customizable rods - and have these higher tiers or be upgraded.
And to sell the fish, you could try make it so we own a shop, and the stock would be fish (and/or whatever else would be added), where we decide the prices and opening times, but need staff in the shop and these factor the amount of sales and money you earn from fishing.

In the sequal Pingy should get a pet of some sort. Feeding the pet burgers gives a reward whenever it's fed depending on how happy the pet is. The pet is happy when you play with it every so often and feed it X amount. Overfeeding makes it sad, same with starving it, or neglecting it.

An ultimate goal would be nice. Like, he's saving up money to buy an igloo, or he's saving money to turn the desert cold. Just something. Too many idle games go on, and on, and on, with no ending.

There should be fishing contests between players, like "Who catches the most whales in 3 minutes?". Reward should be money.

I feel like there should be some kind of arena in the next version of the game. There should be something along the lines of having multiple stages/areas/floors/etc and that every monster or that every certain amount of fights won their should be some kind of reward. Maybe have set monsters appear depending on what stage your on? Their could also be a boss every 5 or 10 stages (or 20 idk really) and something like a mystery boss or prize that only has a 2% chance (or something low) of appearing. Idk if it would work for this kind of game tho but its somewhat of an idea.

In the next version I would like to be able to build a playground for Pingy near his house.... a slide and a swing set and a merry go round and stuff like that... I think a little Pingy would love that.
