I enjoyed the concept behind the game...however, it's a HUGE investment of time - even if you go AFK and let it idle...
The other thing, like someone else mentioned - I hit the "Continue 3 times" objective....I saved my game...or so I thought...then when I reloaded it, I lost it all. Having invested almost 24 hours in the game, that was a huge frustration for me. I won't be investing another 24 hours in it as a result.
great game, until 4 days later, level 12, some reason it will not save anymore! I continuously click save as well as see that it autosaves then I try to complete the mission of "10 times continue playing" which I have done so 7 times now but everytime I refresh or close the game and click continue, it takes me all the way back to beginning of where I was when I previously started today (about hour or so ago). PLEASE fix this bug, I can not go any further and I am having to continuously redo all of my upgrades and Evolutions within the hour each time I exit.
Any other people tell me about the save stop working...
I send you a pm to email me the export data and I check it.
Ive just about finished the game (i.e. gotten to the last time period) and i think the strong points of the game have been covered by others, so id like to share some issues I had with the game.
1. The last third of the game takes forever. Ive spent a week leaving the game idling when i go shower/pee/whatever, as well as when i watch youtube videos, take a deep breath, etc. Even then, the last few levels are just ridiculous. Same goes for the level-up requirements, which similarly take way too long to achieve much of the time.
2. Too many of the elements are useless. Really, all you need is Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon, and Hydrogen to make most of the important elements.
3. The bonus molecules that would pop up didnt really help that much, even when I upgraded it. On the same note, grouping more than one extractor on an element helped very little
4. There's too much clicking to level up the natural selection thing. Near the end, i was clicking probably 100 times just to gain 1%. Its really obvious, and a bit sneaky, in my opinion, that you make the requirement to level up one percentage point grow almost exponentially every time another percentage point is gained.
5. This is a nitpick, but some sort of guide would be helpful, especially since your descriptions for molecules just link to wikipedia. I forgot, after week 3 of playing this game, of what the spinning yellow circle even did. It doesnt seem to increase effectiveness of extractors much, thats for sure.
I understand that this is an "idle game," but you seem to have focused too much on longevity. I guess that's important, for keeping users playing and all, and I understand that, but you took it too far in that direction. An idle game should have a feeling of constant progress that the player has a direct hand in, and while you do accomplish this, I still felt like I was grinding, just to get to the grinding (i.e., completing the level ups, so I could grind for the next life stage).
My suggestion would be to take it in a more academic direction. Make it so that the player is learning while playing the game, about different elements/molecules, as well as time periods. Lastly, loosen up the requirements for everything. As it is, the game drags on for about two weeks after it becomes tiresome.
1) It's an idle game, then play it in idle is... normal.
2) As in the real world?
3) Perhaps this is the reason took you so long in the endgame. It is essential to have formations of elements. 2 extractors produce twice and click a molecule multiply again its production.
4) You can hold mouse, you don't need to click (natural selection and learn buttons).
5) Config -> stats -> page 3: you have a log with all tutorials.
not bad good game system a higher caliber of this would be nice
At 73 of Exams, and need to level up by unlocking 75. What do I do?
