Two tips that shouldn't get buried: 1. (from mike439) when going for the later badges, there's one trick I found: As soon as restarting gets you to a point where you would get at least 1 brick for another (instant) restart, just do that. Should be around 200 bricks. Restart for 1 brick per 3(+1) clicks over and over again until you feel you have enough to go for the imp badge.
2. (from korven999) @Everyone! You can click on the lift to speed up liftspeed!!!! Seems like a lot of people lacking sleep because of this

10*8*6 = 480 bricks for the second floor? lifespan is limited, i think. What will ne the surprise for the third floor?

This week's BotD is doable in a single day, but you're looking at 12 hours or so, straight, of the game running to get it though. And that assumes you're paying enough attention to it to grab the money gifts in the windows starting on the second floor of the building, and that you don't reset when you first get the chance (which nets 4 bars), but build through the next floor to get the 9 needed for the badge.

If you struggling you could try the time/date trick to speed things up, I'm patient though and will play it through honestly but that's just me

Wow! Yet another Badge of the Day and a Half. Come on, Kongregate. Do better. If you truly want to make Easy badges for this game, make them build a single level and get 1 gold brick, not 3 levels and 9 bricks. Anyone who doesn't have this badge yet, start playing this immediately, as it WILL take you more than a full day to achieve it.

it sucks that I lose offline speed up when I restart... after restat its all about lift... so speedUp + holding mouse on lift is golden start

Some tips: if you have an auto clicker button, that makes things progress faster than holding the mouse button. I also recommend downloading an auto clicker that also records the position of the mouse click, then set it to click on each thing, including the windows and the crane, with only 1ms delay. Then set that to run while you're AFK for any reason.

@TheRealPip you don't have to click repeatedly, you can click and hold and it counts repeatedly. Leave something on your mouse button and let it click forever

So... this is a clicker game that you can't idle? I didn't think I would ever be saying that there is a category of game I like less than idle. I was proved wrong. -Pip

This is somewhat fun, but what kind of abomination structure requires 10 times more bricks on the 2nd level than the 1st? No, I have not got to the 3rd level yet, should I even ask?

Semi Important Tip: You can hold left click instead of spamming it. Jitter clicks are about 1.5-2 times as fast as holding it or maybe more depending on how good you are at it.

This game should be called "Convict Prisoner" as 99% of the action in it is clicking to break rocks to be sold in the market.

Why am I not seeing any new buildings for floors 10, 11, 12? The online Guide says there should be new things each floor, but there doesn't appear to be anything...

not to keep ragging, but my offline bonus doesn't count. If I close my computer and come back, it doesn't even register that I was away. If I go to another window and let my computer go to sleep, it only counts the time my computer was awake. Terrible game, I spent too much time. Do not recommend

So slow. It took over 2 weeks of playing this for hours a day to get to floor 17. Now I need 3B science to increase the science output by 9%. At this rate it will be weeks before I could get enough to be useful. I get wanting to extend the game, but this is way to slow.

@gamerscul9870 sadly that's not quite true, my game just deleted five floors' worth of planks and placed down a cannon lmao

Just reached space, asked me what I would like to see there. Answer: ufo, spacestation, mars, rockets, falling stars. All that kind of stuff! :)

Fun fact: if you reset with enough floors pre-built, you can bypass the point where the plank tower normally stops where it would start using gunpowder and can just keep using planks, and therefore just have gunpowder to sell for extra profit.

A day later and I have all 14 floors and 422 golden bricks back. If the dev fixed something thank you. If universe fixed itself, well thank you as well.

After logging in daily since April 3rd, I log in today and all progress gone, including all my golden bricks, money, and work on finishing the 15th floor. Not sure it's worth even trying to start over.

@ Happyside, I agree. purchase only necessary items. I found some use for the Drummer, second power lift 'is' a royal waste of money. As for other items, ie: gun powder, caravan & bungee jumper, am on level 8 and have just passed 2T.
Kongrates on your 60th birthday! Time is useful when we have fun! (:
Thank you for sharing your story about Jim Greer. Very enlightening!
Life was better back in ''the days'' and Kongregate was creme d la creme.

Part 4 - miss the days of Jim Greer (started Kongregate in his apartment with his sister. He talks about how happy they were the first time they had 1000 visitors lol - went on to have tens of thousands and more, playing thousands of games at one time. Kongregate was the crim-de-la-crim (or however you say it) of on-line gaming back in the day. Jim later sold for 7 figures to Game Stop - look him up, it's a pretty interesting story). You could come on and play World Rebellion and there would be hundreds of people in the room wanting to play. Made friends with people all over the world. Those were the days. Party on people and peace on earth...JPMorgan aka Happyside

Part 3 - Good luck and remember, time is your most precious commodity in life and is a fixed amount, so don't waste too much of it, especially when you're young. I'm 60 next week, I've worked hard enough that I can waste some time. Then again, I've probably used a year of my life on Kongregate in the last 10+ years, so what do I know...

(part 2) Never purchased second lift engine, drummer, gun powder or caravan, or bungee jumper, saw no benefit. Definitely buy and raise Galileo to 150 and telescope to 40. From there, recommend raising only scope as the benefit for upgrade is much greater than raising Galileo. The icon for the clock shows up but is 50B science, so I don't have it yet. I raised telescope to 40 and my science went from millions to billions within a day. play maybe 45 minutes a day for last week in 20 minute intervals throughout the day. Not much point in playing unless you have quick time minutes. once out of time, leave and come back 4-5 or more hours later and continue.

I'm almost done with floor 17. I have 97.0e36 coins, 2.14B Science and have purchased all of the artifacts, as they are purchased with science, not coins. I have 605 gold bricks and restarted 4 or 5 times, since beginning. Highest level of restart was just after starting floor 11. Since then, I just keep going and I spend 90% of money on helicopter (level 216), Elephant (380), miners (440), Brick Producer (250). Those are primary. The other areas I upgraded as needed as I start each floor and need to speed things up. (lift engine 130, water pump 550, trees 260, grass water pipe underground 182 and mowers for elephant 176 etc....) .
