Screenshot of my ‘AFK Bean Generator’ - combines the bean generators with launchers for good effect <3
Pro Tip: Once setup, click another tab within the browser as active tab - the game still runs in the other tab to generate beans, but isn’t actively rendering, so GPU usage goes WAY down!
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.
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.
Enjoyable little game, but needs some more explanation overall to be less confusing. The ‘quick guide’ tutorial mentioned above (like the WASD pop-up that happens at the beginning, but for a few more actions), and building descriptions.
Also something to help with the anti-climactic end that hits most clicker games - maybe a reset system.. maybe the ability to get a new plot of ‘water’ to build out a new city, spell stuff with land pieces, etc. Perhaps even the ability to move between the different ‘worlds’ so I can build out a new place without needing to use a new browser/save.
Here’s a list of Suggestions - some I’d love to see, others are food for thought <3
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
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
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 )
Click+drag build?
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
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…
Welcome to Super Bean Island - Please enjoy your stay in one of our luxurious condos leading up to the illustrious golden bean statue. Take a walk through the park or, if you’re feeling lucky, a trip to our casino district!
