The new update just seems so complicated. One of the best things about the game was its simplicity. Some of the changes, like separating upgrades that cost Angels from the ones that cost cash were nice, as was the achievement popup, but the rest is more annoying than anything else. Also, the game is A LOT slower now. Needs work or a roll back most likely.

Gotta say, not a fan of the new UI, mostly due to the fact that the price is no longer always visible. The scrolling buttons are amusing, but get in the way of usability. Can't judge the new content yet, but I like the upgrades that cut the price of future purchases.

Hi the new UI looks like a slot machine with all the stuff changing all the time. and what is up with all the dragging... Can we not have an option to choose between new and old UI?

I totally agree with igorbly, this smartphone/tablet gameplay design is horrible. Can we take back the PC friendly UI? However the graphics is enjoyable, and fun.
Where can i find the micromanagement function (click to faster money income), or this is unavailable right now?
And one more thing, a possible achievements depending on overall lifetime earnings?

Well.. the update ruined the game for me. It sucks to use on a computer, and basically made it more complicated and obnoxious. I'm not going to play anymore if this is the turn the game is taking. litterally "aids'd" me beyond compare.

This was a very disappointing update. The UI is far too painful to look at, the beauty was in the simplicity, the non-disclosure of the bonuses in the achievements was a poor choice, the changes to already existing upgrades shouldn't have happened. It isn't readily obvious how to scroll on menus, everything is confusing looking. Terrible update. Not sure if this is a bug but the Newspaper descriptions on achievements no longer appear to benefit the other companies, Which I feel is also another major setback, it was a cool and enjoyable feature. At the very least - a classic mode needs to be implemented.

No... just no.
Seriously, what are you guy thinking? You want to make a mobile version? Fine, but then make it FOR MOBILE DEVICES ONLY! Seriously, bring back the old UI for Kongregate and use the new one for Mobile Devices, because the UI right now is absolutely HORRIBLE to use on a normal PC.

-Achievements get in the way of donut buying.
-Signs promoting "BUY!" over the cost of purchase is annoying when trying to start after a reset and buying a bunch, but not more than I can get at once.
-I'd like scroll bars in achievements and upgrades and elsewhere. I see why it's like this for touchscreens, but annoying with my mouse/touchpad.
-I liked seeing what you get for the next achievement so I could plan purchases and be hopeful about what's next. I understand the interest of mystery, but I liked the old way better.

OK, I guess I complained too fast. I'm getting used to the interface. Although I found the old one to be a little more intuitive, the new one is not as bad as I first thought. Still: Mouse Wheel would be nice...

Bad GUI aside, I think reenabling micromanaging should be the highest priority - highest as in, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE RELEASED AN UPDATE WITHOUT IT. There is basically no reason for me to have this game open, I can just come once every day to restart and rebuy my stuff. And even rebuying my stuff is going to take twice as long.

the new update is.. meh.. upgrades are okay, but i really don't like the design - if you want to keep it, please give us an option to switch to the old one (for free), that would please many players, i think

I will never understand why developers need to change things when they work properly and no one ask for changes...
Anyway thanks, i had a good times, but i really don't like the new Ads Caps, so i'm quitting.

The new UI appears not to work for me. I see your background and tabs but that's it. There are no shops to buy, no upgrades to purchase, there aren't any managers available, and the achievements aren't displaying. I can however successfully reset for angels, but that's it.

to all those complaining about the UI and such, they said the next update would be a huge change in UI and they also showed us some pictures in the forums....you should have/could have easily seen it coming.
that being said a lot of comments im seeing are mainly about how it looks like too much is happening so i would suggest the devs add a button to stop animations or just remove certain things.

Without discussing the visual appeal of the new design, the layout and implementation are a huge step down from the previous version. We are no longer able to have our money and AI totals visible when purchasing upgrades. Achievement popups block the purchase button for the donut shop, making it extremely difficult to upgrade it. The cycling information on the purchase buttons makes it hard to tell how much the next purchase will cost. Mousewheel scroll no longer works in the menus. There may be other losses of functionality I have not come across yet.
I understand the desire to branch out into new media markets, but please consider having different interfaces based on the medium one uses to access the game so that you can accommodate handheld users with the more cluttered, harder-to-navigate interface their devices will allow while not removing from us desktop and laptop users the versatility our systems support.

Would it be possible to at least have the old UI as an option? If not, please at least move the achievement pop-up so it doesn't cover the doughnut stand and remove the scrolling 'buy' that replaces the price periodically.

The update has ruined the smoothness of the gameplay, button presses not registering, clicking freezes the game. What a disaster.

It's really...clunky...At first I couldn't even figure out how to scroll through my achievements until I read some of the comments/posts mentioning touch screen interface.

Hey, the new UI resizes if i zoom in/out! That's a great improvement (i usually had to view just half the screen before..)

I don't know who came up with the idea of changing the UI. It's great that you think that way and try to improve every little aspect. However the older one had something that made the game so attractive. Like the previous flappy bird app it was very basic and easy and it became a big hype. Again i don't say i don't like it i just think the older one had something that gave you your players. Great work i'd like to see a multiplayer aspect, categorize players into all time earnings maybe?

The new update is awesome... if you're on a mobile device. Otherwise it's clunky, difficult to navigate, and the main screen is way too busy with the constant scrolling of the words through the buy buttons and the amount displays.

well done devs... just destroyed your game with a crappy new design that is far too busy to make the game enjoyable. the UI was fantastically well designed before.. thats why the game was so popular. i suppose the game mught run better on a smartphone or tablet but for everyone not playing on these it is fantastically bad... think you might have just wasted the last two months of your lives.. back to the drawing board... i had such high hopes :(
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Yeah, not a fan of the new UI...it's flashy, but for a game like this, simple is better. The old look and feel was fine, now it's just messy and confusing.

Hmm- as with windows 8, this was something that has many new features ruined by the idea of homogenity between platforms. Also, given how the value of newspapers seems to have been massively nerfed, what happened to nerfing the price of said same?
