watts are power not energy. this is a big mistake. many games make it. spaceplan made it. it's embarrassing on the part of the dev.
it's joules we're collecting.

Wow you guys are actually uneducated af. A Watt us a unit of power and a Joule is a unit of energy.

Btw I'm an editor @ IGR (indie game reviewer) and I'm the one always trying to funnel incremental games onto our front page. Was planning on trying to do so here since the metroidvania/platformer formula applied to an incremental was innovative.
But just to be clear you're going to take a troll stance and push back on the watts thing that I pointed out?
That would be beyond embarrassing.

i mean,,, sorry that offended you,,,,, but no its not joules youre collecting, its watts because this is a game where you collect a currency called watts, not a game where you collect a currency called joules. i've never claimed you're collecting energy, only ever that youre collecting power.
your history is public and i really wonder if IGR would be comfortable with how toxic you are all across itch?

You don't think you're being insanely toxic to me right now? We both know that you simply screwed up and weren't thinking about it correctly when you made the currency "watts"
How would one collect a "watt"? Given that a watt is just a measure of a joule per second?
You're too deep (in your mind) and can't just fix it, so instead of just saying something like, "oh I screwed up, just like the SPACEPLAN guy did and it's too late for me to change it but it'll just have to remain as a kind of gag/joke/whatever"
No one would think anything of that.
But that's not how you approached it. You went the toxic/gaslight/intellectually-dishonest route and doubled down.
So it's you who's being extremely toxic, not me.

You're the one being toxic and embarrassing here. While joules may be more scientifically accurate in terms of energy collection, it's a video game where the creators are free to choose what they name their resources, as Varii rightly said to you. And stating you're an "an editor @ IGR (indie game reviewer)" is not the influential power move you think it is, all that does is discredit that group if their editors are this immature toxic.
I had alot of fun playing this game, and I am looking forward to any updates or future games the developers make!

I'm pretty sure we are collecting a currency called watts, so I think we are collecting watts

When you power a battery, you're powering Watts. Sure it's the Joules of the clones' movement that make that energy, but you're making energy nonetheless

Talking* not talking.
Clearly, you don't understand the idea of hypotheticals and non-existant objects. A joule doesn't have to be the name of the currency just because we use it in electrical sciences. Even if it was a mistake in the game, they even said in a reply to you that it wasn't a mistake. Not everything has to conform to your ideals and thought processes. You are allowed to be wrong too
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.
