Thank you for playing through the production phase. These are amazing good points, Look into maybe no collision if cookies knock out and I can see how a visual cue will work to let you know cookies are coming back online. I also notice cookies knock out only working on what seems like1 one cookie (but they all do the TPS half does seem punishing to the player).
Upgrade and rewards would be nice, I want to implement this last phase might only get enough time for upgrades for Per click would be nice, thank you for the idea. Im going to try to implement it with a demo UI and see if I have enough time to make something nice, I wanted funny names for upgrades but not sure of them or the theme just yet.
Visual changes would be nice and some animation. like I wanted to get Grandma to use a cane or umbrella to knock out the cookies maybe it unlocks after a couple of 3 or so Grandma upgrades or knock-out timers upgrades. I wanted to also implement a knock version of cookies visually this might help get the player a much more visual cue of cookies still asleep.
