It's amazing what an active, attentive developer can do to a comment section! Don't think i've ever seen one so lively and i've completed the game 5 times across 4 versions.

Good on you releasing hotfixes, another thing that's been frustrating my 4th run through is that the research development button doesn't light up when the running research is completed, and compute is free to do it. I select another tech and reselect the one I'm looking at to get it started. I think this was the only spot where the button did not activate dynamically (although the resource status tooltip showing income, expenditure and time to fill up/exhaust updating with some regularity would be a useful option too).

Thanks, downloaded 0.6.5 just to be sure and blazed through it. 

how large are sectors supposed to be? in galaxy 4 i developed weapons to exterminate a cluster of 3 enemy systems, and have explored out to 50 lya from home but clicking the galaxy button still warns me there are 3 uncontacted planets, and i can't make a quantum computer system (initially thought it was due to the baddies, but after  over an hour of developing and expanding now it seems more like an error)

forgot to congratulate you on how well the game works, i really enjoyed both times through but now my web saves have gotten wiped and i'm downloading it to try again!

in my second, i got enough ak for a component that kept draining xm to build and ran out pretty soon, leaving me stuck with a ring about 500 lya. by the time i realised it, exiting into a mainline component would require me to refit the probes being built autonomously, which is why the refit button would flash available when there were none. i was able to click it at one of those time, so after several minutes of bottlenecking i was able to wriggle out. will subsequent playthroughs also provide as many exotic materials? i don't know if it's feasible to use them if so.

on my second playthrough, i got stuck running out of XM, which meant i couldn't upgrade my vnp or exit out of the xm component path

update: the refit button kept flickering on, turns out catching a moment with 0 probes was sufficient for a non-xm refit.

the counter still filled up, and decremented both times i tried pressing e, but the doors didn't budge.

Incredible sound design too!

great stuff! i got stuck in an airlock i'd accidentally closed while walking into a room, and accumulating opens didn't help :(

lovely vania! the music especially

Nice blend of Shockwave excess and 90s nostalgia, the terminators wrecked me :(

think it took so long to load?

I seem to get stuck after the first room transition, it won't take any inputs..

thank you, quite an engaging manager that doesn't give you carpal tunnel. at the end i thought the number of bots hired is like a timer, tried to optimise it for a lower score and ended up with the same magic number :D

why are the towers numbered but the number keys do not save your mouse hand from carpal tunneling back and forth?

ah, thanks for that, should be enough!

it's a little hard to keep track of citizens past a certain point, have you considered using a tally or a mouseover tip?

careful, updated version linked by suspended is almost certainly a trojan.

is the game running? it won't start and says player 2 needs to be running from a .game address.

WDYM, Roachbound is now freeware out on NG, this is a baseless allegation motivated by class hatred against first generation Blizzard nepobabies.

should entering the correct validation parameters do something?

looks nice but pressing the plus button makes it a clicker experience within minutes

do you mean 14?

The 1000 km/s mission seems to be set to 1000 Mm/s with no exponential improvements in sight; the next one seems to have expected a warp jump at the 1 Mm/s mark.

how do i transfer crystals to the 2nd screen?

I'm having the same issue, could be due to a WebGL2 compatibility issue. Some games won't run on my machine at all, some will freeze up way too often - even in the browser.

UPD: I also don't see the check mark or have drag functionality mentioned in the howto

is there an ending?

yes please!

Don't worry about it, you'll be looping hundreds of times again as long as the computer doesn't die too often.

Wew, I haven't seen this much juicy gameplay out of a jam game since Angerfoot. After finishing my first run, I immediately dove into optimising for a shorter ending and now, an all-nighter later, the 2nd run (omitting dozens of early restarts) is 16 days :)

the graphics are good looking, why do i fall into level 6 after dying in 5 seconds?

it looks like the shortcut points to a path on your computer, and the actual StandardBearer.exe bugs out with a "file not found"

finally, a single player game that benefits from having 2 keyboards
