fucking trash. every event has a purely random result that you seemingly have no influence over, just a fucking coin flip.

awesome! sorry if that comment came off as a bit insulting with the last bit. i havent kept up with each update, but clearly youre putting some real effort into making this project good. my only suggestion, would be to remove the part of the default prompt that gives her "the intelligence of a 4 year old", as it seems to define her entire personality, making her act like a 4 year old.
theres no reason for me to go soft and sugar coat it. everything thats here is extremely basic, and very poorly done. to the extent that i assume its either done with AI, or this guy dosent even play incremental games. enemies get random powerup buffs that require you to go to another screen to see what they do, except their buffs use tiny images instead of the words said other screen uses. all of the prestige mechanics have had little to no thought put into them aside from "make the player reset constantly". the "souls" mechanic is fucking terrible, in case you havent reached level 20 in souls yet i wont spoil it, but its painfully bad.
going soft is what encourages this guy to keep on the path hes on. he needs to know that hes got a shit game, and why its shit. does it have potential? maybe? about as much as any bare bones basic ass starter idle game, but its hard to really say when everything is so poorly paced and thought out. i go from ripping through stages to all of a sudden having to kill 50+ enemies to get to the next stage, while their stats seem to double or triple at some random break point while mine remain linear and trash. unlocking extra tiers of skills dosent unlock the extra skill points you need to fill them, and getting said skill points requires you to manually stop progressing before the enemies become literally unkillable from the forced auto progression. i could go on and on about how fucking bad this is, and could fill maybe 3 sentences about whats good. why bother mentioning the tiny aspects?
this is just bad on every level. 4 days and ive barely progressed at all, every reset feels completely pointless, half the tooltips use archiac words nobody has used in generations and are worded like skwisgaar skwigelf wrote them, and the fact that you cant GO BACK fucking ruin every run. on top of that, its pointless to force me to redistribute my stat points EVERY TIME just make them fucking be permanent.
i dont know if theres any automation here for the stats, but if there is that shit needs to open up IMMEDIATELY. it is not fun to just hit "max" on the same fucking buttons over and over. it is not fun to feel like there is no progression because you need to kill thousands of enemies to get to the next area. and its damn sure not fun to "ascend" for some pointless fucking shards that themselves do not increase stats, nor is it fun to reset for "potential" when said "potential" can ONLY be obtained at certain specific break points. EVERY rebirth should contribute to your stat increases, instead almost every rebirth is fucking useless.
christ this is just terrible. stop with all the clicking bullshit. example : clicking the gain CPU button thousands of times. instead, have a VERY early permanent upgrade that give 1% of your CPU reset value per second, and make it expensive to upgrade it further. automation serves no fucking point if i have to give myself carpal tunnal to get it.
the fact that youre messing around with AI text generation, and ARENT familiar with kobold is a massive red flag. you clearly are not at all familiar with AI to any degree. its an even bigger red flag that you have the game constantly doing checks every few seconds for an active patreon subscription, for chatGPT integration as though you own chatGPT.
....dont save the game ever second. once per minute is more than frequent enough, but saving every single second is just going to damage peoples hardware from unnecessarily frequent writing. and again, for some reason your game is EXTREMELY hard on HDDs. like my drive isnt even that loud when im rebooting, and doing heavy reading/writing from it. i get that youre not sure why, but its something you really need to look into.
