Thanks for the glowing reviews, everyone! It was such a delight to see that an educational game I originally made for a school project is so well-received on Kongregate and to see that it was featured as one of the best new games on the front page. A big thank you for everyone who made this happen!
FIRST! I actually created this game for a school project, but I figured some people might be interested in a Japanese learning game, so I have made some modifications to the project to turn it into a complete game with Kongregate API and stuff! I hope this will turn the beginning of your Japanese learning into a fun and easy experience, like it did for my classmates! I appreciate any feedback!
よろしくおねがいします。
Thank you all for expressing your opinions about the new Shop feature. The reason I changed the shops is that the old shops were very inconvenient to use (and if you want to go to the shop you have to stop doing whatever you are currently doing), and the scrolling caused a lot of lag. The new Feature Shop allows you to clearly see which features you have and which ones you are missing, and the new Mystery Shop allows you to buy items in bulk conveniently. Perhaps I will add item images to the Mystery Shop to make it look somewhat more similar to the Special Shop.
Hi everyone, I'm kind of busy with my study and other real life stuff so I'm not updating the game at the moment. But stay tuned, as development will continue in the future! I promise v1664 won't be the final version of this game.
[Dec. 18] Version 1665 is LIVE!! Enjoy!

[Nov. 14] My school project was a huge success! I now have some free time again and can work on Anti-Idle. Expect an epic update in the near future!

[Nov. 06] Just a quick update regarding the current situation, I'm nearly done with my school project so I can continue working on Anti-Idle soon! You can probably expect an update early December with TONS of new stuff, and the infamous memory leak will also be hopefully fixed! It will likely coincide with the 5th anniversary of the game as well, so expect EPIC events to come, including 3x EXP and many other awesome events!
"Nothing we can do about it" is kind of wrong. While I'm sure Kongregate won't ever remove this game, what you can do is don't buy any premium content in this game and don't support these devs. Additionally, if you like this game and have a phone with Android or iOS, I'd say download Puzzle & Dragons and play it instead. It's the original, it has a much better control scheme, it's actively updated and the devs of Puzzle & Dragons are also extremely generous when it comes to premium currency (I've accumulated ~$500 worth of premium currency within one year of playing it without paying). And while I understand that they didn't actually "steal" any graphics from PAD, it's still very bad to INTENTIONALLY copy a game without giving any credits. Getting inspiration from the puzzle mechanics of PAD is okay, copying every single gameplay element of it including the pink health bar with green numbers kind of isn't. If the devs of PAD know about this they are going to be really pissed off.
This is just a pathetic ripoff of Puzzle & Dragons. The game name is similar, the interface is almost the same with one or two minor exceptions, the order of menu buttons is the exact same, the pricing of eggs is the same (200 friend points and 5 gems, price of each gem is the same), the gameplay is 100% identical, and even the tutorial is exactly the same as Puzzle & Dragons tutorial (including the directions you slide the orbs and what happens after each turn). It's like you're intentionally trying to duplicate a game made by someone else for commercial purposes, rather than using it as inspiration for your game. And to add insult to injury, the credits page of the game gives absolutely zero credits to Puzzle & Dragons or its creators. Sorry but 1/5 from me. Would give a negative rating if possible.
Can you sell the permission to refer to power cells as triangles? I know batteries are cool and all, but I prefer triangles. I will gladly pay 5000 triangles... I mean, power cells for that.
For people who encountered weird issues when playing this game, refreshing to the latest version should fix the problem. I wanted to test several new mechanics, including encryption and collision detection - and I figured I should make a new "game" anyway, so I finally decided to make this. It took like 6 hours. Enjoy!
I'm currently gathering feedback about the new Boost system. Rate + this comment if you prefer the new Boost system, or – this comment if you prefer the old one. Also, tell me how the new Boost system has changed your game, and suggest how it can be improved!
