A pretty standard idle game.
I did note that it didn't take long for the gameplay to become laggy though this is an older game and I know that it isn't much of a problem in your other games plus it didn't stop me from enjoying around an hour or so of entertainment.
It's not bad but it's not a new Electric Rubber.
An average idle game with the addition of squashing bugs. There should be a save feature included.
The medals work, and I earned them all.
I wish it could save your game
Decent concept.
Needs some heavy rebalancing.
Just get your profit to say $1000, buy those Unity upgrades to get the timer to 0, walk away for an hour and you have $3.6 million.
Some higher level content where that kind of money makes sense would make this game worthwhile.
Interesting ideas, and yeah, that Unity upgrade is gamebreaking, I hate to say it's just too late to fix (6k views later can't fix current values without a whole uproar >.>)
Anyways, thanks for the review, suggestions, and rating!
soft-fix for anyone having trouble with medals:
there seems to be a bug related to the turnover timer, which stops the game from awarding medals to your profile even if unlocked in-game. once this bug has been triggered, the only fix is to close the game and start over, as the current game is permanently locked from unlocking medals to your profile.
this bug seems to happen when the turnover time is too short, or gets "past" the saving point (which seems to happen around the 1 second mark). this could be triggered by either squashing bugs when you're close to getting paid, or if your timer is too short in the first place.
the easy way to prevent this from happening is to increase your timer and prevent it from getting it close to 0 in an unnatural way. this is necessary especially when trying to get the 1000 bug squashed medal. the only upgrades that do this are the android and ios ones (mac and windows also decrease your timer, unlike what's written in-game).
basic tips to unlock all medals:
- when starting out, make sure to get to the upgrades screen without squashing any bugs accidentally, just in case.
- upgrade actionscript whenever you're just waiting and not doing anything else, as it's free and it increases the money you get after each cycle.
- avoid upgrading unity, python, mac or windows unless you're going for their respective medals. when doing so, make sure you have enough money to get to level 50 in one go, or have a long enough timer as buffer to stay above the 10/20 second turnover time.
- to get the medals for squashing bugs, the "safest" way is to get javascript to 50, then put all the money you get into ios levels to increase your timer as much as possible, then use that time to squash bugs without going under the "saving point" trigger.
it's recommended to stop squashing bugs around the 30 second mark and go back to the upgrades screen to wait it out.
