So every 2 days I can double my earnngs and it doesn't matter if I'm offline for 2 days or a week. Brain-Earnings seem to stop almost. No fun at all like this. Sorry...
Hi DollD1, thanks for the feedback. You are right. The current brain power formula gives an advantage for brain gathering to a more active playstyle (collecting your gold production more often) vs. collecting your gold once in a while. We are currently working on changing the formula and balance that (bring to the same level bp gathering also while idle/offline). Trying to make it by the end of this week. Will be announced in the News section when updated. LE (25 Aug): we just updated the game including the brain power formula changes we were talking about above. Hope this helps:)!
Hey, Donniez. Thank you for the input. We are currently working on the bp formula for better balance as well as solve a couple of issues signaled in the past week by players. Aiming to update with the new formula within the week.
Hey rf1rf1. Thanks for letting us know. We checked it and your save is safe, on the cloud. The progress was not lost. When you last tried to connect most probably the game did not connect with the server and this is why it looked like you lost your progress. (In the meantime, we made an update and we introduced a panel to inform players when the game didn't manage to connect with the server so this should help clarify to players any future similar situations). Hope to see you back in the game :).

Re: the comment about having to pause the game to upgrade buildings - everything that's on auto continues to run when upgrading. The game isn't really paused.

Do brains collect when offline? I seem to come back after a couple of hours and have significant gold increase but hardly any brains..
Hey, iamdes. Thank you for asking. Brain gathers while you are offline, however, currently, there is a slight advantage for brain gathering to a more active playstyle (collecting your gold production more often) vs. collecting gold once in a while. We are working to balance that and bring to the same level bp gathering also while idle/offline. I estimate we will cover this within the next 2 weeks. Will be announced in the News section when updated.

can't upgrade buildings while playing have to pause the game to buy them that bad design. would be nice if you could fix it. feels bad an unnecessary.
Hey Angelsergiuboy, thank you for reaching out. Please note that as soon as you get the automate production upgrades (very early in the game) your businesses will produce continuously, even when you exit the game completely. Hope this helps clarify and hope to see you back in the game :)

thank god, my computer freezes a lot & many games lose all my progress, but this one didn't (though it did take like 3 refreshes just to load the 'first' time again)
Hey, brenigan. Thanks for inquiring. We checked it, and there is no cloud save for your account.

Hey Zatal, thanks for raising this. Ads are a Kongregate-centric issue. If you are having any issues with ads availability or proper display please contact Kongregate Support by either ZenDesk portal (https://kong.zendesk.com/hc/en-us) or e-mail at support@kongregate.com. It helps if you provide a screenshot and ad url. They will help with the issues. Also, please note that disabling adblock type of plugins and refreshing can help (we have this info from a few players that said it worked for them).

The spider clicked gives a 5 second (I think?) bonus, but what's with the white bunny looking thing that appears sometimes waving or sometimes asleep? If I click him once, a lot, or not at all he eventually poofs away. Is he just there as decoration? The frog in the pond will do flips but that's it, when I click (that's cute btw) but is there any reason to keep clicking him or is he also just fun decoration?
Hey meownomnom, thank you for reaching out. These elements are designed to be interactive just for fun. However, lots of people asked especially about the white one, so we will most probably add something to it in the coming period. Have an fun weekend and enjoy the game (｡◕‿◕｡)
Hey Rhazaak, thanks for your input. Please note that swiping/dragging the mouse over the buildings makes collecting very fast (and I believe more enjoyable) vs. clicking on each of them.

great balance, really fun! havent stuck to a single idle game for longer than a couple minutes for some time and its day 2 on this one! way to go

Meh. Maybe there's more later on, but I probably won't see it. I played off and on for a day+ and the impression I got was of yet another ad cap clone that brings nothing inventive or particularly well done to the table. The art is okay, but that doesn't make up for the rest.
Hey, LucidCrux. Thank you for trying out the game and sharing your first impression. No pressure whatsoever, but in case you would be interested in what could be cool later on here's my two cents. We love adcap, and this is indeed an idle/incremental game in the style of adcap. But we have many new things to offer: very different layout and theme; once you open the universe (after building the club) an embassy where you can send your leaders into missions to farm for gold, crystals or brain power; chest drops and different balancing. And we are sarcastically funny which some people seem to enjoy :).

So for those wondering, the brain power spent is only for the iteration of the play. You'll have to spend other brain power in the next iteration.
Hey extreme408, they are interactive, just for entertaining if you click around. Lots of people asked about the alien though so will probably be adding to that one in the coming weeks.
Hey The_4th_Wall, thank you for raising this. Yes, this is correct. When you purchase Brain Power upgrades you are spending from your total Brain Power gathered. So it's a strategic decision the players need to make regarding how much to spend on upgrades pending on what each upgrade is giving vs what to keep for the profit bonus percentage. Hope this helps :).

3 or 4 attempts to play in beta, just sits on loading screen. This is my 2nd attempt since the official release... same thing.
Hey Stashiv. Thank you so much for trying to load the game so many times. You are amazingly kind and I am so so sorry you are not able to play the game even after the latest optimizations we made. I'm sending you the most positive vibes and a virtual hug.

the brain power gain rate should also be improved, cause after every now and then when u come back, and collect trillions of gold, u only get 1-4 brain power, while u also get the same amount collecting billions of gold. also when speeding up the game, same amount of brain power. if rate is always the same then why the need to even reset the game. please consider this
Hey jagkisamardjet, thanks for raising this. To clarify, brain gathering is not linear. It's square root and polynomial, and it slows down after a while. To compensate for this, we are giving a boost to brain gathering after each reset. It gathers the brain faster until it reaches the amount of brain already collected. Hope this helps and looking fwd to see you again in the game :).
Later Edit (21 Aug): The current brain power formula gives an advantage for brain gathering to a more active playstyle (collecting your gold production more often) vs. collecting your gold once in a while. We are currently working on changing the formula and balance that (bring to the same level bp gathering also while idle/offline). Trying to make it by the end of this week.

Anyone able to say if the upgrades purchased with brain power are permanent, or if they only last till your next reset?
Hey Addlestone, thanks for asking. The brain power upgrades are not permanent. We chose to do it this way in order to give the players the flexibility to play around with the upgrade mixes and improve their playstyle from one reset to the other. As a couple of other people had the same question with you, we will look into adding a clarifying info into the game about it - in a future update.

Brainpower seems to be seriously bugged, at least at the beginning. I get much more of it from manually clicking buildings (even automated ones) than from waiting. Example: waited 10 minutes and gathered money = +2 BP. Immediately clicked all the building after that = +1 BP. Clicked once more = +1 BP.
Hey 86com, thank you for your interest in the game. To clarify, brain gathering is not linear. It's square root and polynomial, and it slows down after a while. To compensate this, we are giving a boost to brain gathering after each reset. It gathers the brain faster until it reaches the amount of brain already collected. Not sure what your BP status was at the point you made the comment but you mentioned the early game. Please note that we had a cap (non-intentional) at 100 BP which we discovered and fixed based on a few players input. Maybe this was the issue in your case as well. Hope this helps and looking fwd to see you again in the game :).

Why is it asking for my age?!?! Next thing it's going to ask for my social security number!!! Flagged and rated 1/5 and I encourage you all to do the same!!!!!
Hey Zotot, thanks for asking. The only reason we are asking for your age is to be able to be compliant with GDPR, EU regulation on data privacy that went into effect as of May 2018. You may also want to check out this Kongregate official communication about GDPR: https://kong.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000875643-What-is-GDPR-. Hope this clarifies.
:)) sleeps, farts and burps mostly. That's a Marmian, one of your lazy gold craving subjects as Marmia's leader. It was designed just as interactive (for fun). But a few people asked us if it does anything so we are thinking about adding something to it - in the coming weeks.

When the game is out of focus, the same click which regains window focus will also press the 'waste crystals to double income' button if done where it will appear.
Hey Stashiv. Many thanks for your interest in the game. And I am sorry the game didn't load for you. We optimized the build and updated today a smaller version. Players say it loads faster now, in case you would be open to give it another shot.

Wow, to those saying this is a pay to win game, you have NO IDEA what a real pay to win game is! Try a Cloudcade game if you want to see a true pay to win game! I've been playing this game since beta, and it is NOT a pay to win game. Granted, I'm having difficulty getting the remaining parts to the ship so I can go places, but I have quite a few crystals I've EARNED in the game by leveling up, I'm at level 21, and I've not spent a dime. The least you all could do is give the game a try! A REAL try.
Hey lockpick211. Thanks for your comment. Kongregate is actually the first platform we launched on. We've been in Beta with Kong Plus players as of mid-May until yesterday and worked on improving the game based on their inputs. And live as of yesterday on full Kongregate. We are planning to launch an Android version in the coming months but we will most probably start with the same steps - beta/soft launch first.
Hey, freak132. After you buy the temporal looping (or any other time advance upgrade), you will see a small notification on the top part of the screen showing you how much you made from the temporal looping. It gets added to each business production. To collect it and get it added to your total gold, you need to click or draw on the businesses.
You are the second person that thought the time advance upgrades are not working. So we will think about making this more straightforward/ clearer somehow in the game. An idea I have right now is maybe to add the total amount won directly to your total gold without going through business and collecting? Let me know what you think. And in case anyone else has an opinion on this question, please let me know.
Hey heu3becthbiu. We are careful with balancing the game to make sure it's fun and engaging also for players that decide not to invest real cash. And we already have a couple of satisfied customers in this scenario - from beta. Hope you will give it a try :).
Hey eeduardd. Thank you for letting us know your first impression of the game. I will reflect on how we can improve that. Regarding pay to win. We are very careful with balancing the game to make sure it's fun and engaging also for players that decide not to invest real cash. And we already have a couple of satisfied customers in this scenario - from beta. Hope you will give it a shot and see for yourself :).
Hey Olug, I am sorry about this and thank you for letting us. Please bear with us through the first loading. The first time you play, the game downloads locally and there might be freezes. This is because it’s made in Unity and quite large. Please refresh and wait until it loads. After the first loading, it will much improve. We’re working to reduce the game’s dimension via a recent Unity update. Hope you will come back and give it another shot. Thanks for your understanding and patience!

It's definitely an AdCap, but it's very polished and enjoyable enough in that right, at least for a little while. I like the cuteness, and all of the little things you can poke are a nice touch.
Hey, impact 381. Thanks for raising this. We double checked and there is no bug there. You received the corresponding amount of production for the time advance. Please note that when you buy an upgrade to advance time the bonus generated goes directly into each of the building's production. Then, you need to click or draw across the buildings to collect the total production gathered (as you would usually do). Hope this clarifies, otherwise please ping me again either via comment or private message, and I will help.

Best idle game ever! A screen with a load circle without anything to do. But at least I don't get to hear the annoying sounds others talk about. 1/5 and bye bye

This reminds me a ton of wild west saga which just released in the way it works on the playfield and it being an adcap style game.

Word of advice to those looking to make the most "money" the quickest at the higher levels of the game. I've noticed that the school makes the most profits the quickest, so make sure you upgrade the school as much as possible so you can collect the most money the most quickly.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I say this because I'm not being given an option to double my profits for anything other than 5 crystals. Please fix this problem and bring the ads back! Thank you.
Hey SataiDelenn, thank you for your feedback. We will keep the double with ads option for Aurora Marmialis (volcano). We decided to bring a bit more balance and not rely so much on ads because of the ads unavailability/bugs that you also reported. To compensate for removing the ads from the welcome back screen, we increased the overall progression of the game (via brainpower formula and upgrades) to make sure the game remains fun and engaging also for players that decide not to double up in the welcome back screen. Please stick with us, and you will see this is the case.
