Love the new update. The only gripes I have are the achievements covering the price of the donut shops, the price scrolling when I'm checking to see if I have enough to buy the next 1/10/100, and no scroll wheel on the menus. Otherwise the new look of 2.0 is awesome! Very well done.

You've updated the UI, but the UX is now much, much worse on a non-touchscreen device. They layout (and rolling text - why?!?) now makes it more difficult to see "at a glance" where I should be investing. There's also way too much motion on the screen with the progress bars and the scrolling text (again, why?!?) "Buy" and "X-ing" don't give the user any relevant information in a meaningful way.

The UI is prettier now, but much more annoying. Too complicated to do anything, I hate that popup that covers up the donut shop when you get an achievement, and no micromanagement for when I want a quick infusion of cash to buy something

I gotta say, it's kinda annoying that the upgrades/managers now cover the whole screen. I liked it better when I could go back and forth between buying new businesses and upgrades as I got richer. and its really a pain to have to click and drag. Also, when the achievements tab pops up, it obscures how many donut shops I own. so every time I purchase 100, I have to wait for the achievement to go away or hope I counted right. :/ I like the new look though. The invested tab is really sleek, and I think everyone appreciates separating the angel upgrades from the cash. I REALLY like the new stats page. cute.

The popup achievements covers the donuts making it impossible to buy donuts without closing the achievement tab. ....!?

The new UI is honestly ugly, counterproductive, and almost unusable. The whole scrolling "BUY" and "SQUEEZING" makes it impossible to see costs, and all the numbers are way harder to see/find in general. The simplicity of your UI was what made this game so great. The new UI looks good until you try to actually do anything.

I also cant stand the fact that the stupid notifications takes up the screen for donuts. I mean, really? Did you just not test this before launching it, or what?

I like that they finally updated it, but I can't stand some things. I really don't like the new art style, and its insanely laggy now. I don't want to wait 3 seconds to buy another 100 things of something because the game has to tell me "Pizza delivery profit doubled!" I really don't care, and its really insanely annoying.

Main UI is missing all the businesses, this is seriously blotched "upgrade", breaks the game, unintuitive UI: if I wasn't clicking around on everything that could be clicked because of all the missing items, I wouldn't know the photo brings up the stats screen. And how on earth were we supposed to know the stats screen slides horizontally? If an UI needs explicit instructions for basic tasks, it's a phail. Going to down-rate the game until things improved.

Uh-oh, think HH sold out to the mobile market. Have played for a while now, and love the retro look, but practical use of the new UI has some serious annoyances. The scrolling "Buy" button has to be the first thing to turf. Huge pain when trying not to buy something too expensive and you can't see the price. The spammy achievement flags are ok, but don't cover up the Donut Shop! And finally, serious loss of managability by not having side-by-side windows for market progress and upgrades. I now lose that little giddy feeling I used to have when buying an upgrade and immediately seeing my cash-per-second spike up. HH, you guys took a big risk with the overhaul and I'm still a big fan (from beginning). Slick design, but get ready for lots of rage spew from the masses :-(

There are a few immediate niggles I have with the new interface:
1. The achievement pop-up banner covers the donut-shop purchase button and is a bit of a nuisance upon reset in the purchase spree.
2. The rolling display on the purchase button slows me down a little -- I still need to know how much the next hundred lemonade stands costs. Maybe a permanent value display could read underneath the button, and the button could rotate other messages.
3. I'd still love to use the mouse wheel to control a low-sensitivity scroll in the menus :)
Other than that, I really dig the new update! Keep up the good work!

After quite a few weeks of playing (and one hard reset in the middle, just because) I finally registered an account so I could rate this one star. Bring back the old UI, please?

If I'm looking at a price, and deciding whether I want to buy, I DO NOT WANT IT TO MOVE. This update is just bafflingly terrible.

Bringing up the stats by clicking the picture, the resulting screen is too large and I can't seem to scroll over to see all of it.

Managers do not appear to be working correctly. They do not display per second income. I don't think they give cost discounts either, but only my lemonade stand gives the per second income display and I bought all the managers that give those displays.

This new AI is clunky and all over the place. tHe old one (while less pretty) was simple and you had all of the information there. Now it takes 3 clicks to do anything. And no Micromanage?

Like the old version better. It was more easier to use and play but this new version makes me want to quit the game. There should be an option to pick between the menus. Also, this new version keeps crashing my computer.

i like this update overall. definitely an overhaul. It is may more polished which is nice. But lag is probably an issue for some. Scroll bars would be greatly appreciated and the upgrade notification makes me want to punch a hole through my monitor. I do like most of the features added though, i think its a big step in the right direction!

I have a touch screen laptop and this game is now useless on it... I don't know where this "touch friendly" thought comes from, but there is a reason why many games have multiple versions on Kong... the developers have discovered that things don't work on both tablets/phones and PCs.

Any time you get an achievement, the pop-up notification box mostly obscures the cost for more Donut Shops. Kinda annoying when you've just reset and are trying to buy everything back up.

Is it just me or is nothing loading in the new UI? There literally is nothing I can do, save the soft reset. I tried that and it did nothing.

Looked through the UI more and felt a lot more horrible click registration, I think I'll drop that 3 to a 2, but back up to 5 for every thing you do to fix the UI again, or 5 immediately for a legacy UI setting if that's possible.

"Finally! Yay! New update! ... Euuuuggghhh..." Achievement notifiers covering icons, options menu not in the open, repeatedly scrolling icons, mouse clicks not liking to register. The interface to be both busy and lacking a lot of crucial information. Legacy UI option is probably hard to do, I get that, but can we at least get options to disable the popups and spammy flashy buttons? 3/5 until the UI's less painful to use than before.

Ok, the new UI is definitely pretty, but omg, the constant flickering scrolling is giving me a headache. I get that it's there to tell us what the buttons do, but please, in the name of my sacrificed legions of angels, please give us an option to make the buttons STOP. Also: Scroll wheels are my friends, for easy and fast scrolling of pages. They could be your friends too! Embrace the love. :)

Love the update 2.0! hoping there's a way to actually stop the animation for "buy" and "squeezing printing etc" cause that sudden down motion while im looking at numbers make me nauseous ^^;;

The UI looks spiffy, but is awful in practice. The previous one was so much more efficient and easier to use. Prices are harder to read, the pop-up achievement window blocks the donut section, switching between buying 1, 10, and 100 is more clunky than before, and I hate not being able to see how much money i have when I buy upgrades and managers. You basically tried to fix something that wasn't broken.

when I click on the picture, the picture enlarged and I see the stat screen behind it to the right, but I can't get it to come to the front so I can actually see whats on it. All I can do is click "Import" or the edge of the "Hard Reset" button

The fonts are terrible and hard to read, the periodic rolling of the tabs is annoying, and the scroll bars were taken out.
I'm sure most people were looking for more features and things to do, not a drastically changed interface that's hard to use/look at.
After such a long time, this is just a disappointing, terrible update.
