itch.io

just had a dwarf forget to throw stuff into the maw?? they just went up to it and rested still with all the stuff on their head and then went to gather more (and got stunned i think, it was hard to pay attention). the top item was an artifact, idk what exactly caused that

bulldozer feedback:

1) cute!!

2) with the amount of mithril (and also souls) they eat up, it'd be nice to have extra sources of those

3) it'd be nice to have some runesmith upgrades for them too

it makes the text difficult to read, but restarting the game with 100% zoom fixes it so it's fine yeah

it also continues if you go into fullscreen, you have to restart the game to fix it, and it's bad at 200% too

pixel glitches also appear for me if i start the game with non-100% page zoom level btw and in that case they don't get fixed by toggling hd mode. not a big deal but i thought i'd mention it

the update came at the right time, turns out i forgot to unlock some upgrades in my previous run and that's why it was way slower than usual :)

also i just prestiged and had two gems fall from the sky in the new game, was that intentional?

i just finished it with 130k with all the prestige upgrades and a strategy of upgrading whatever random things i can afford, so yeah probably

though it also took me like an hour longer than last time, but i guess i was also paying less attention to stuff

on that note, forge artifact shouldn't be accidentally clickable and costing stuff when you already have all the artifacts either

it seems i'm able to click on alchemy and have it cost some gold (about 100) despite it being n/a??

> Note: Game auto-pausing when the tab loses focus is a really annoying "feature" of GM GX WebAssembly that I cannot disable. Which is a real shame for a game like this. You can try tricking it, or playing on the desktop version where there is no pausing and the performance is also a lot better.

opening it in a new window works for me

my runners are also stuck smoking now, seems the fixes didn't work... at least quitting the game also fixed them

it only happened once in the beginning, maybe knowing that will help? i didn't write down which exactly upgrades i had though

still laggy :c

did the game get laggier after the guzzer update or is that just me? reached the high levels and it's been freezing every couple seconds

(yeah i'm also still playing the browser version, i don't want to abandon my saved progress with all of the prestige :])

i think i'm also getting a lot more simultaneous ores rn than when i played last on the same mountain levels (mountain 70-80, ~900 vs ~700 ores) but maybe that's just me being more successful 

also lol looming motivation and the reclaiming/despawning don't help much when all the 900 simultaneous ores are in the air.....

though i guess maybe i just get the souls some time after the mountains are destroyed? i forgot if souls are also a kind of ore. seems like soul drops might actually very vaguely coincide with every-fourth-mountain, appearing a while after it gets destroyed... idk it's very unclear

aw, i got it to be negative enough to make a difference and i think it doesn't actually give me money, sad

are mountains supposed to stop giving souls after 50? i wanted to see how much damage i could do but souls are very much a bottleneck. after some observing i'm feel like i'm not getting any from mountains, probably just calamities or another source i'm forgetting about... not sure because the calamity bar isn't really usable anymore

just discovered a new source of income! :D (the swap ritual costing negative money)

reloaded the page and it didn't happen again so idk what exactly caused it

just prestiged to try out the update, bought a miner and got this error:

i just got used to upgrading the miners first as soon as i have some runners, and it was confusing that i couldn't do it this time

love the update, i see i came back at the right time!

is it intentional that the first miners' guild upgrades don't appear until you buy a runner manually, even if you already have some from the prestige updrade?

coming back so frequently that "Updated:  11 seconds ago" :p

a cool game but winning is very hard and losing is too sad :(

i think it helped! i've now been playing for about 10 minutes on the latest version with almost everything runner-related maxed out and they still haven't gotten stuck

they still get stuck running into the mountain sometimes sorry :(

this looks pretty cool!

a couple issues:

- the "move your cursor over the tree" tutorial confused me because i thought it meant just moving the cursor once so that it stays over the tree, it could use an animation or different wording like "shake your cursor"

- at least the first two wood/currency icons look nearly identical when small and not right next to each other and i keep spending the wrong one by accident... it'd be nice to have their shapes be all different too

they finally got unstuck like 10 minutes after i noticed them!

something went wrong and the runners got stuck running into the mountain for a while... i took the screenshot after some finally departed but some of them are still stuck. i don't think it could be a coincidence because i have literally 20 runners, kinda unlikely they would all be in that corner

also i feel like it's impossible to upgrade runners enough to make them keep up with the pile right now...

that sounds awesome, thanks!

ah, it's hovering over the prestige button

i've played idle games before, i thought i wouldn't need to hover over the prestige button...

just accidentally made the infobox that explains prestige requirements appear but i can't even figure out how to reproduce it

i thought 5pp and 14pp near prestige tiers meant that each upgrade would cost 5 and 14 pp respectively and was trying to be very conservative about spending prestige points... it'd be nice if that was more clear

the game is very fun but very frustrating :]

the runners keep being very bad at throwing and just cycling the same half a pile of stuff :( 

fun game!

a small bug though, the fan gets unlocked before the fan phone call, so you can buy the fan and then still get the phone call about it being available, that's a bit annoying

i like the premise, but not the way i have to interact with the game a few times a minute but not more or less frequently, and the repetitiveness got boring (probably because each cycle takes a while). i think it would be more fun for me if game time passed instantly without having to wait, but i also was looking for idle games where i could check in way less often, so i guess i'm not the audience for this either way right now

oh, also, scrolling with a touchpad was way too sensitive for some reason, it made the actions list pretty hard to navigate on a laptop because very little movement would scroll all the way to the bottom/top, this is different from how everything else on my computer reacts to the touchpad. not sure what's the reason for that. it'd be nice to have an alternative way to scroll, like arrow keys

very fun! i've won after over an hour total

possibly a bug: i wanted to try playing without the "pierce" passive but when i reset the upgrades, bought every passive but that one and switched to weapon upgrades and upgraded those, the pierce passive also suddenly turned out to be bought and this happened two or three times the same way... though after that i reset and started with buying upgrades and pierce didn't appear against my will. buying a lot of upgrades at once is annoying so i'm not trying this more to figure out if it's actually reproducible...

the most satisfying incremental game i've ever played! the integer overflows are annoying though :[

i won the game, that was super not worth it but at least i know how it ends now :D

got it finally, looks like they're a very endgame thing...

i ended up going back and spending exactly five hours on one hole apparently and looks like i'm seeing the end and i'm still over 100b away from that next staff....
