Yeah, I think I effectively soft locked myself by not having enough ascension perks that boost aberrant mass gathering, so I can't get any further to get more ascension perks in order to get any of the late game perks to actually win the game.

Yeah I don't have enough prestige points to claim any of them. At this point it now takes ages to get them and I need to get 10! I think I have to sadly rely on time multiplier now and just leave it, as I can't find anything else I've not done.

Maybe something like "until you've evolved beyond the default [something something]"?

Not sure!

I'm currently stuck trying to complete the last section, not sure what I'm missing now lol

I guess I'm dumb or something haha

Really enjoying this game though :)

Just a quick point, the hammer in the shop says upgrade by 3, but is actually 3 instances of 1

Here's my save at V1.0 if anyone wants it

Is there anything more after V1.0?

I have followed on Steam though, because I can see the potential!

But please don't use AI art. Visually the game looks nice if not for basically having no identity, because the art is all in different styles. I can't look at a card and definitively say "ah yes, that's a card from Pack Tactics! I recognise the design style."

As many creative people in the game industry will agree, ask around! Someone out there will do you a series of art designs for cheap or even free!

Or, as many physical card pack games do on their cards - display the artist on the card itself proudly! You could ask the community to draw some art for your cards, and your favourites get to be included in the game, or get unlocked as alternative art for a card once you win a run with it in your deck or something like that!

I like the concept of this game, but it just feels horribly unbalanced and almost entirely luck based.

I never feel like my choices ultimately matter all that much, because I don't get to decide what is played. I could have a deck with great synergy, but if that Ant that gets played is the card that tips the damage over the threshold, I'm then screwed, because I'm left defending the crown with a card with 1 health on top of a huge stack of cards that are obviously going to overfill my den.

I feel like having a hand that you draw into would be better, and perhaps letting us choose which animal in the den is hunted? That way I can hunt my Ants or Bees and leave the Bee Hive alone, because losing an animal that's central to a build is not in my control and run-ending.

There are also some cards, regardless of quality level, that are objectively better or worse than others.

Like I said, I like the concept of the den and draw deck being the "health" of the player essentially, it's innovative. There's a reason that most other games have very limited permanent changes to your deck, though. It's incredibly tricky to get that to be balanced. If you can get that to work, that would also be a really cool feature of this game, but as it stands, literally everything being permanent makes it too hard to balance a build, and makes it largely luck based.

One piece of feedback I'd say: When you have cards that Retain, they shouldn't reduce your card draw at the start of the next turn.

Oh actually, one more thing, unless I'm mistaken, in more cases than not, the higher cost card that triples its upgrade seems functionally the same as the cheaper cost card that adds 3 when its upgraded. This makes the higher cost card not worth it compared with the other.
(but like I said, I may have just not found the use-case where it's better)

Oh, I disregarded that because it sounded like it was referencing something I didn't have yet.

But now (given the context of your advice, thanks!) I'm realising I misunderstood and it's saying I have that thing equipped. I assumed I didn't as it hasn't made any reference to equipping things like that yet.

Am I missing something? As soon as I get to the incubator, the game becomes so slow to progress that it's essentially a standstill.
I've tried resetting a few times when I get to this point, assuming this is just the way to meta-progress, but it doesn't make any difference. I don't see any meta-progression choices that speed up exploration, and there aren't enough resources to scavenge to improve exploration rates.
Seeing as no one else is talking about this, I have to assume I'm big dumb dumb and missed something obvious, please help.

Ah nice nice :)

Ok, thanks.
I'm enjoying the game a lot, by the way :)
I like a wholesome harem. Always makes me uncomfortable when it feels a little non-consensual - glad this doesn't feel like that!

Anywhere to get the hints without joining a Discord?
Nothing personal, I just don't want to join a million servers just for one thing each. I'd only be leaving it again afterwards anyway

Found a small inconsistency bug - When you've finished Ava's current storyline, and go in the back with her, she doesn't have a tail!

This was really nice!
Kudos for the animation quality, it was awesome!

How? You want the save export?

Why is everything called Lucky Cat?

spoiler, jeez

I mean, sure. But it sucks that simply asking that is considered politically charged.

Fuck me for wanting to be respectful lmao

I don't really give a shit. What does a downvote even do other than just highlight the point you raised, right?

What are Cari's pronouns?

Why would you go and post a spoiler like this?

And the fact that seems like such a ridiculous thing to you is why I'm not going to continue.

You could have had a well reasoned argument for why you used them, coming across like a decent person, but you just sound incredibly immature now.

Oh no, AI art, really? :c

The levels are probably fine for most people, just that I'm a bit sensitive to noise, especially looping music, so I would want to make it a lot quieter, and the bleeps of comments are a little loud for me

Yeah either a screen at the start, or maybe just while not live streaming there could be the option to click the stream screen and type your name or something?

"Old enough to remember dial-up" is too real lol

If I may make a couple suggestions?
- Volume adjustments for music and sfx
- Let us name ourselves!
- Maybe in future we could customise the face on the camera - either with preset hairstyles and faces, or let us scribble colours on top of the blank one!

Oh boy I reeeally hope if I get put in it's not constantly being sarcastic u.u

Right now it's unplayable. No idea what the controls are, and after starting a new game after dying once, the game runs so slowly it's not worth it. You can refresh the page to start again, but considering I die after around 10 seconds because I don't know how to play, I have just given up.

Humour is great, but the protag feels like such a piece of shit it's hard to get immersed!! Trying not to take it so seriously, but I can't help but cringe sometimes when he's basically a sex offender lmao

Ah! I'm blind lol, thanks

Is there a walkthrough somewhere? I've searched online and can't find one besides youtube videos.

Oh... I was holding out building the Dome, because I thought that would be a negative ending despite calling it "winning" the game. I figured the true "win" would be lowering the temperature again. I won't bother then, that's a shame.
