i really quite enjoy this game so far (at 130 prestige points) and unlike everyone else apparently i am getting production while on a different tab. i played your old version as well and this prestige system is better but the increasing cost in skill points for each tier feels like it outpaces their value for gaining more production. the "spell system could use some work, like adding something that actually temporarily boosts the production of something (i apologize if this is in just at a later point in which case it might be smart to put it earlier to give players an alternative to just waiting) i also kind of miss from the old system how you could get more value out of your pixels by manually collecting which could also help people who prefer to be more involved (again sorry if that comes later :P)

First of all, small request -- prestige reset should not reset an already filled in tier. I'm in tier 3, and damn it's annoying to have to click and fill out all of tier 1 and 2 every time. -------- Also, on your note to LtFeonir about the tier 3 bonus gens, could that be in the tooltip? It's easy to miss that fact. and skip the bonus gens as long as possible.

pixels to next prestige point should say not only the total pixels needed but also how many are needed from your current point (or at least have a percentage timer)

You can only get one prestige point per collect. If it says collect 0 more for next point just hit collect a bunch of times.

The prestige curve is still exceedingly steep given the rapid rising cost per prestige upgrade. needs more balance still 3/5, will still continue to play but would like to see further expansion on the original idea, all Prestige Tiers should be open instead of unlocking as this would allow wider player choice, having what the upgrades are hidden via ??? is mostly pointless as after one writes them down one can experiment to unlock more of the list.

As others have said, the progression comes to a screeching halt very early. I've managed to fill 'most' of tier 2 prestige, one painful square at a time, and I've let it run for 24 hours and still have yet to get another 5 points to make it worth prestiging. Worse, the next 25-30 points i get wil just be useless energy upgrades, so I really need to leave it sitting for a couple of weeks now to actually increase my clear rate. Needs tweaking.
Maybe try another strategy? People have managed to fill out Tier 2 and most of Tier 3 already (even without importing from the original game) and the game has been released less than a week ago.

The graphics are better than the first PFS game. and my trick is, getting one limit upgrade, then upgrading generator alot.

data lost again for the 3rd time. I was enjoying the game, but with the most recent data loss I'm done playing. Nice job though

Really the prestige skill reset should only reset the tier you are on, as you are going to have to put points into all slots of all tiers below it in order to get back to where you can actually make changes.

the prestige skill for 'every genV increases genI income', combined with energy bonus for the free genI makes for a stupidly overpowered combo lategame.

The game does kind of reach a standstill for me after I unlock zoom out 5. For some reason it is not giving me offline boosts which I think is part of that problem. I do still like this game so keep up the good work.

How about a prestige upgrade that lets you click and hold certain "energy abilities" To turn them into auto mode, making it so it is automatically used when you have enough energy? (I'm just tired of having to come back so often to use energy)

My prestige point income bonus is listed in game as +2, but the % is 600% for having 130 prestige points. very confused here
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
not sure what I read wrong but I thought 2000 energy gave me one generator if I choose to, and when I click the '1' I get nothing that I can tell
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Energy skills seem about useless so far. I've got unlocked increase limit, and buy 1 gen 1 generator. The last is especially useless, I wait several minutes for 2000 energy, when at this point a gen 1 generator cost me about 10 seconds of my time and isn't worth it anyway.
Remember that bonus Gen 1 from energy skill won't increase your Gen 1 price, that's the main reason Gen 1 was nerfed few days ago because people doing long runs were able to accumulate few hundreds Gen 1s and reach gigantic income.

The idea of the game is simple but brilliant. Its really fun to play for a while but the only problem is, that the progress in the mid/lategame is WAY to slow, compared to the early game. But for a free game without any payable extras its still above my expectations ;)
You did a good job there dev.

i found a glitch where for several prestige points i get they cost 0 pixels until 26 prestige point before i prestige

I have very mixed feelings about this game. I think you got the "idle" part right (this "pixels filling bigger pixels" concept is kinda neat) but the "game" part is seriously lacking: there is not enough variety in game mechanics, very little interaction, a single viable strategy... e.g. compare to Realm Grinder where you have factions, challenges, excavations, research, mercenaries, prestige etc., and you actually get 6 factions with different playstyles out of the box and keep getting more good stuff as you advance through reincarnations. RG, Crusaders, Idle Wizard et al. are games that kept me interested for months while I've been filling pixels for a bit over two days now and I already feel I've seen everything that had to offer. So far I'm thinking "nice try, but that won't last more than another day or so". 3/5, "liked it, probably won't play again but nice try anyway"
Thanks for honest feedback, I am aware I can't compete with Realm Grinder or Crusaders, those are games that have been now updated for few years, developed full time by teams of developers with hundreds of thousands dollars budget, while my humble game was made by one person in free time over the span of few weeks. But this won't discourage me from updating and making the game better, so maybe one day I can stay beside the best in the genre!

Is it supposed to take around an hour to get 1 prestige point? Which means for me to get 10 points I would end up spending over 10 hours... currently 164 prestige points earned

if the game window is out of focus (I'm going to another tab in Chrome) the progress stops! I left the window for 1 hour and not gained anything. This is stupid.
The game was re-written in HTML5 instead of Flash, other than that the whole prestige system was changed, spell-like system added (once you unlock your first Hack ability, you unlock Energy bar that is consumed for using your abilities)

5 minutes into the game and I realized it doesn't make pixels when you're on a different tab. It'd be great if it did.

Why is tier 3 prestige all extra generators in the first few stages? If we've made it to tier 3 we need some heavy upgrades to cope with the cost of 10 prestige points. I don't want extra gen 1's or even an extra gen 5 for 10 freaking prestige points, give me a buff or a decent percentage increase to help cope with the exponential growth costs of the game.
Tier 3 have four skills that greatly increase your earning potential based on number of Generators you have, more bonus Generators increase their potency (because they don't affect the starting price).
L is button for Limit Hack (costs 1000 energy, increases your limit without sacrificing pixels on grid). 1 is button Gen 1 Hack, gives you a bonus Generator I (won't increase price, but counts for upgrade based on number of generators) for 2000 energy.

Just wanted to commend you for implementing changes based on player feedback. Many games that have potential never get to where they could be because the dev either does their own thing or doesn't listen. Looking forward to seeing how you progress this game and any futures games you make. good job!

Yesterday I was gaining offline time, now I'm not. I'm also not making anything if I look at a different tab or if the game is offline. What changed? (I like the game and I don't mind that I'm not completing it in 3 days, I good idle game should have me playing for several months)

Enjoying this game so far. Started a few days ago, shared others' sentiments about undesirable progress rate, but 1.0.5 def makes Tier 2 more bearable and I see you're still hard at work with even more updates. Good to see you're taking comments into consideration and I'm sure once it's all smoothed out it'll be a great idler.

Also, it looks like the energy bar doesn't register right below 1% capacity, so if you have, say, 2000/2000 and use 1000 for the limit twice, the bar stays showing 1000/2000 till energy hits 20/2000, then it resets correctly.

can we get some kind of indicator/reminder of which upgrades you have got from prestige that boost income. Since the numbers vary its hard to remember which is which. For example maybe a tooltip on the generator
2 that says every "for every 50, double income". With prestige upgrades scattered over tiers it can be difficult to find all what you bought.
