Share suggestions, like new buildings, quality of life features, or game mechanics!

Here’s a list of Suggestions - some I’d love to see, others are food for thought <3

  1. Would love to see a system to upgrade my bean launcher. Things like:
  • Auto Launch - beans launch every so often to mouse position (or random?) - faster with upgrades
  • Multiple Launcher - (ex: 1 click launches several beans) - more beans with upgrades
  • Discount Bean Service - Some beans launched are free / do not deduct from total bean count
  • Bean Launcher Paintjob - changes color of bean launcher - that’s it, lol
  1. Descriptions of buildings. It’s very hard to tell what buildings actually do. Some experimentation is fine, but does a bean bouncing on a light pole do anything different than bouncing on a house or windmill? I still don’t know :P

  2. Golden Statue should spew more beans or something when clicked. It takes a lot to get there, why not reward us for it? (Maybe mine just glitched, but it just sat there looking pretty, which I understand is its own reward sometimes :P )

  3. Click+drag build?

  4. A way to expand the game out/open in new windows, etc. in browser. It feels a bit buried between the rest of the website, and I like the fullscreen view I get on mobile/Android a lot :D

  5. Inspired by the ‘rainbow bean’ that fills in the corner - super powers that are unlocked by building certain buildings (and then maybe countdown to use as they go), like ‘bean rain’, overpowered bean (spewers?) - cause those buildings that spit out a large bean to do so much quicker for 30 seconds or so, Bean Duplicator - clicking to launch beans is free for 60 seconds, etc…

Thank you so much for the feedback!

You've seen what I said on Telegram, so you know that, hehe

Upgrading the bean launcher is a very cool idea though, could maybe be combined with the rebirth mechanic to show off your status?

Thank you for your unique perspective!

Maybe add some kind of basket that collects beans that roll into it?

Developer

Good idea!

Funnily enough, that was the idea for a structure which we didn't have enough time to implement. I'm hoping we can implement in the next 1-2 weeks!

Recommend using a monospace font (or spacing the characters manually) for the bean count in the upper right. Especially in late-game, when the number changes a lot, the ‘bouncing’ text as it changes size is a little annoying.

Developer

also a good idea, thank you!

will "delete" function adds in game?

Developer

Yes! We're planning on adding that this week!

A building piece I keep wanting is a path or road, in order to liven up scenes created on the island. It would be a mostly flat square that could still interact with beans similar to the flowers. In order to handle directions, a horizontally and vertically repeatable dirt/cobblestone/… texture would probably be ideal.

We did actually have an idea to make a road structure that would sort of act as a conveyor belt!

But yeah, we do have some ideas for buildings like roads and trees to liven up the islands that people can make! We do need to think about the technical ways that it would interact though, like buildings roads between 2 tiles that have the road structure on them - or just that a road is a tiled texture, which is what you're saying, if I'm not mistaken!

Thank you for the suggestion!
