differences with you aside, i do have this wishlisted on steam lol. i'm semi-hoping you leave "watts as a unit of energy" in the final version cuz i'll know you left it that way purely out of spite at me and i'll consider it a semi-credit.

but you'll get my $ regardless

what even are you talking about. it was obviously a mistake... they were using it to refer to energy lol. they obviously meant a joule. and this is a common mistake. the SPACEPLAN guy made the same mistake lol.

this is such unbelievable hedging. it's not that big a deal he made the mistake. and it wasn't that big a deal that i pointed it out so he could fix it. but hedging and pretending it's not a mistake.. well it was bad faith by the author and it's bad faith by you.

what are you talkihng about? did you even play the game? he was using watt to refer to energy.. and that was clearly a mistake on his part.

how did you end up thinking he just meant the word "watt" with no relation to how it relates to energy/power?

Yep I tested it on Steam and it worked perfectly. I wishlisted it too

great. it's a cool idea so i look forward to it! i'm actually talking to itch support about getting that guy who follows me around banned. lol

it was here, on itch

the full screen feature takes over the full screen but the game window stays the same size

some feedback

the upgrade that pays you for marked bomb cells should probably have an additional upgrade tier beyond/behind it that gives you the payout whether you marked it or not. it's silly to be marking bombs you know are bombs.

and clicking a numbered cell that has its # amount of bombs marked should auto clear every cell around it. in regular minesweeper i think this is done by right+left simul clicking on the cell but it could be anything. it could even be a regular left click and it wouldn't override anything

also left clicking a bomb-marked cell should do nothing. it should block it. (just in case of a misclick)

You're thanking him, but I gave you genuinely honest feedback. The guy who told you I go around leaving hate comments is just a guy who didn't a comment I left once and now follows me around and trolls because he can't get over it.

boring. i liked the aesthetics though. i found the main gameplay loop very boring

yeah i figured the solver was doing a brute force. do you use any heuristics or does it just brute force every permutation? cool, either way. i like putting simulation stuff in my games too. just getting an AI to play snake was a huge pain

whoah!!! cool!

i like the idea a lot but finding the optimal configuration for a given piece set was absolutely a brute force affair. since it's solving for the optimal config, it would be nice if you added an upgrade that let the user see.. or at least get a hint at the optimal config.

Lol I hit a nerve I guess.

Nope. I provide valid criticism and praise.

Anyone reading this exchange notice that this Varii guy went ad hominem.. rather than responding to the content of my post, which was valid and accurate. And probably useful to the dev of the game.

Nope. Not the case. I criticized a bad element of a game and this guy got butthurt because of the way I worded something and had that like irresistable urge to talk shit. It's been a back and forth stemming from that.

Trust me, it's this Varii guy that is the immature troll.

didn't have to imagine anything. It was just you.. very apparently.

lol. forgot about you entirely. such a laugh to come back here and be reminded that some random weeb (likely fat with very pasty skin and a neckbeard who is definitely under 6' tall.. probably a lot under.. and definitely overweight is so unhappy with his life that he's raging at me.. over something that he started in the first place lolol


in fact i'm guessing from your low test demeanor that you prefer "they/them" ROFLROFLROFLROFL

feels pretty terrible. you move towards arrows.. but they jump around before you ever reach any enemy.. just feels janky and broken.

i'm starting to wonder if you're just a nice guy. you can see how much i enjoy how pissed off you are and how easy you are to bully and tweak into little outburst responses.

if that's the case then you are genuinely a cool person.

but we both know it's not. hahahaha

i wishlisted it. mainly cuz of the sound design. crisp and consistent. can't put my finger on why i like it. and i doubt you are aware of it either. probably just random luck on your part.

either way, it made the game enjoyable.

i'd say the biggest problem is the voice that is supposed to be tutorializing you talks in lore/story/setting terms when it should be explaining.. how to do something. like.. how you decode the glyph. do i want to make the whole noise thing brown or blue? or something else? how? why does "decode glyph" seem to just end the level or w/e and start a new one.

i generally dislike tutorials.. but if you're going to have one.. at least have it teach you stuff instead of just talking in story beats.

lmao i just came back to itch to play a few new prototypes and saw the little "1" in the corner and was like "oh ya that unhinged pissed off smoothbrain dev who is obsessed with me might still be raging" hahahahahaha

thank you for being entertaining af (in the saddest way possible)

lmao i ticked a nerve in you and now you're sputtering.

we laughed our asses off at the little weeb.

Ooh lol. I know you. I'm going to expose you on /r/incremental_games and on our Discord as an angry little ragebro

Lol. So you have an inferiority complex about really smart people like me. I got you to *jerk* out that rage response so easily haha

that is my preferred way as well and I think it's the better way. the notion of "runs" is cute. but when it's tacked on to just *make* it that way.. then it feels arbitrary.

Yeah well my brain works fine and is very fast (IMO gold, memory olympiads, etc.)

And my point isn't that the timer makes anything difficult.

It's just stupid and unnecessary.

what exactly were you thinking making the tab opener so much more expensive than the tab closer...?

As I've said on many of the other 1000 games that have come out in the past year with this exact formula:


if you got rid of the timer, the game would be better.. and all that would change is that an annoying factor that does nothing whatsoever but annoy the player would be gone.


period.

i clicked reply to reply to a comment here. it reloaded the page. because itch.io is terrible. i lost all progress. nah. i was at 950 million with everything maxed and i was NOT getting any streaks for several minutes.


thumbs down.

there are a million games in this specific genre.

not a single one of them wouldn't be improved if the dumb timer/fuel/energy mechanic was kicked.

if your entire tutorial was just a message box saying what you just said, right here, your tutorial would be 1000% better, more useful, more worth reading.

uh.. the tutorial is very long and explains absolutely nothing about what is actually going on or what the game actually is...

i generally dislike tutorials very very much so i appreciate that you let us skip it. but in this case the only reason i skipped it is because i could see it was utterly missing the mark anyway.

to be 100% clear.. and i want this to be helpful for you: the tutorial absolutely launches assuming the player understands what the game is about, what is going on, and the *type* of game it is. and i don't mean "incremental" i mean things like that it's a turn-based game.

it assumes the player knows absolutely everything important and then teaches them some mundane low level nonsense things.

it's not a tweak you need to do to fix it. you need to toss the tutorial completely, which you won't do because of sunk-cost fallacy (i know scripting out a tutorial is a pain. i've done it. a dozen times.. on games much bigger than this.) and then redo it. completely. which you won't. and i don't blame you.

better luck on your next game, sir.

i tried this game again. hoping you'd fixed the design flaw where you reset all poxel upgrades when a new stage is unlocked.

nope :( :(

really kills the fun having the whole field start populated with a ton of stuff. that's not how you make an incremental game.

should be empty and you build your first thing and dick around with it until you save up enough to build another thing which increases your income, etc. etc.

my water producer wasn't broken... and i had power... and it was empty and not producing water. i died from that.

this is amazingly solid. great work

is there a way to deconstruct?

you said that 8 days ago. i just had it happen to me.

you won't get another play by me on any game you make in the future.

'r' is far too weak

rolling not stopping on its own may be "realistic" but feels wrong

the invisible walls around the play area are infuriating. lots of stuff you want to grab, constantly just out of reach.

you claimed every repair will add benefits. just increasing your max carrying capacity is not "benefits" when your o2 is still the limiting factor.

all in all, this game is impressive, technically, but you made design decisions, consciously, that should have been made very differently.
