What do you mean by "lag the game"? are you talking about performance issues, or are generation of income lagging? About book upgrades, they really have a direct impact on passive income. Maybe you arent noticing it because generation is somewhat random, like a business in real life: You do not earn a exact amount of money every day, but it really does give the possibility of earning more
Book upgrades are the way to progress in the game. I tought that the visual effects on the page were clear enough to give a clue about its importance, and It really have a gameplay effect that makes the game progress faster. I will not throw a lot of info to the player about the calculations made under the hood, this kills some of the magic, and i will risk turning the game into a math class.
About slow progress, another person talked about this already, but as a game developer i need to find a middle ground between a game that ends in 5 minutes of gameplay and a game that everyone stop playing after 5 minutes because It is too slow. Thats very, very hard. And every person playing has a tolerance of grinding, so its like cooking or making a movie: impossible to make everyone happy
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation of your experience with my game! Many of the topics you presented were already on my to-do list for future versions, and I'll have to gradually improve the game's balance based on public feedback, so it will take a while to get it polished.
But most importantly, no major bugs that could hinder playability were found, which is already a victory (take that, EA)
i think the problem is waiting 10 seconds to get the reward. Maybe getting 1/10 of the reward every second will be clearer. Thanks for your feedback sir, next version i will change this
Every book created get a passive income, based on quality of the book. This happens every 10 seconds, its not only one shot. Looks like maybe people may think that it will be one time and thats it... I will need to think a better way to describe that
Thanks for pointing out these bugs! They are windows-only, and now they are fixed. Its a shame i havent noticed before, a lot of people tried the demo on the launch and could not get out of the first room 😣
Thanks a lot for trying my game! Im developing a difficulty setting where you can make the game easier or harder as you want. Really appreciate your feedback!
Thanks for trying my game! You missed a knife with blood on the floor and hit the green button, its hard to find the clues in the first runs. I will put a difficulty setting in the future, or maybe i will make it more easy in the first runs
Thanks for trying my game! I will add a cat and more weapons, If you have any other suggestions about new weapons please feel free to contact me. Language support is my next priority. I really appreciate your feedback!
Yes, every weapon returns more money than you spend on it, so you can progress further. But with bombs, if you get only one rat with it, it will pay less money than you spend and gradually earns more if you can manage to terminate more rats with a single bomb usage. This is to make it harder to use, as it is extremely powerful. I made a new version of the game, with a test mode with more money, so you can play with it a litte more without need to play from start. Thanks for playing my game, really appreciate your feedback!
Hi! Its working, but It Works a little different from the other weapons. You need to place It above some rats as It explodes almost instantly. Im going to create a version with infinite money so people can test the expensive weapons, If i can find a way to release more than onde version on itch
