The tags are wrong, it's not a clicker or an idle game; I'm a little grumpy because I like clickers and idle games, heh.

Anyway, I've got no idea what I'm doing here, there definitely needs to be some kind of instructions somewhere, I think I'm sending them on jobs, but they either die or make me lose money, and the souls counter seems to always be zero.
Reviving them doesn't seem to help, since they tend to die the first time you try doing anything with them, too.

Unrelated, the game just locked up on me while I was trying to figure it out; I don't think I did anything out of the ordinary, I just clicked a card and the card went fullscreen like it's supposed to, but then the game froze up and isn't responding..

In defense of it being an idle/clicker, once an imp is rank II+ you can idle and let hold collect, and I think I fixed a mechanic that allows gold to accumulate while away so it adds to the idle theme. For the clicker side, I suppose it's just more click heavy then a true clicker. What tags would you recommend?

I'm still working on it so hopefully I can make a small tutorial to help explain somethings. I just updated it like half an hour ago, and I just fixed a major bug that caused the lost of souls (I missed a variable which was supposed to add but it's value was added to a subtracting value @~@ ). It's pretty RNG heavy, and the first few runs are supposed to crash and burn quickly. Imps are very dumb, but they try their best to help (like me).

As for the game locking up, I know your only able to back out of the Fullscreen imp view if you click/tap away from the dark box that's drawn. I could add an [X] button to have a clear way of leaving that view.

Thank you for the feedback, hopefully the game can be more polished before the deadline :3

Thanks for the reply.

Tags, I don't know, probably just a bunch related to the content of the game, like "imps", "expansion" and "weight gain" and such. Maybe "management"? The game kinda fits a lot of molds.

Also, no, the game freezing, nothing seemed to work, I couldn't click out of it or anything. Clicked all over the screen, all the buttons, the imp itself, nothing.
The problem with bug hunting there is that I don't think I was doing anything out of the ordinary, so I think bughunting for that could stay on the back-burner to wait and see if anyone else has the same lockup, preferably in some way that makes it easier to repeat.

EDIT: the game just froze up again, this time after a successful imp run. Clicked everywhere, no response.

Okay, I'm starting to run into the issue as well, and I'm unsure what's causing the problem... Mine usually occurs while I'm tapping the "Perform Duty"/"Revive" area. I'll have to look into it as it's causing progress loss from last autosave :/
