too many issues. deleting belts left dark matter behind, no explanation on how anything actually works, full screen turned the game into a black screen with a white bar in the middle.
Very good click clack simulator, my only complaint is that the prestige system is a bit of a chicken rib. kinda meaningless. i got 100% of everything without prestiging and only had 17 pp. the upgrades you can get just are not worth restarting for. also the prestige prep upgrade doesnt seem to do anything as far as I could tell. the game would need to be at least twice as long to make even an early prestige worth it.
Looks interesting although I hesitate to comment on anything without knowing anything about the prestige system. spires seem like they should reveal more though. EDIT FOR CLARITY: thumbs up on the game, oddly enthralling.
still far too buggy for playtesting, candle lost visibility bonus after first run, undoing loop commands borks everything up, and randomly mid loop charting you stop being able to move or interat correctly.
its also far too heavily a copy of "stuck in time"
The prestige system felt a little unneeded, and bread and arrow are basically the only thing you need to win, dont even need to fill the board... other than that it was an enjoyable 5-10 minutes
VERY enjoyable short game. short and sweet, no additions needed. still had a few upgrades left when i won so the difficulty also seems tuned to perfection.
i dont get it, whatever you buy the enemy also buys, but its still 49% winrate with identical armies... unless you spam buy in which case you buy a second before they can buy 1 and your army gets bigger than theirs.... i dont understand how you win if it just copies you
for a game about crushing blocks, almost none of your money comes from said crushing. it basically all come from quests and level up rewards. other than that, fairly engaging demo
so for a game that requires you to balance everything, why does it not give you any information? how much information is made from the internet? how much do the upgrades increase things by? its almost a striaght rip of another free game on steam, but that one gives you information
the problem is your game is like walking through a maze, but take even one step off the "correct" path and you get reset back to the start. its a puzzle without any game, without any soul or fun. its like telling someone that to open a door you have to move forward or back left or right in a very specific set of steps, and after the first 7-8 steps suddenly there are no clues to go on and you have to brute force it.
There is far too little room for error, you have to do things exactly as intended or it wont work, its less a puzzle and more "follow the exact blueprint the dev had in mind" Its an interesting take on games like terraformental.... but it doesnt work as it is now.
i reached 7 away from "base" vertically and horizontally without finding anything but stone and coal... and one mushroom. there was stuff that like minecraft iron... but no way to mine it. also 200 gold max when each "click" to mine is 8+ makes the clicking really tedious.
Ai slop, prestige system can be completely ignored. its just emoji's walking along a road. There are other AI made games on the site that are better in every way, and are still bad.
prestige is meaningless, within a few minutes i had everything and was earning 100T per second. prestiged and got everything all at once.
EDIT: side point, I missed when games told you what they were with minimal embellishing. "Factory optimization challenge" my man, optimization implies choosing the best of diverse options, not choosing between +1 or +6 "strategic upgrades".... its a tech tree. theres no choice there, just sooner or later.
EDIT2: I see, created with AI, guessing the blurb was AI generated too
great little demo, only complaint i could make, and its a small one. is that you never really get to enjoy gobbling stuff up, because larger means hunger drains faster. Still an absolutely solid demo
