I've noticed tons of slowdown in the recent update, i'm not really sure whats causing it but its kind of annoying. Thats the only real flaw i see as of now. 

Sometimes when an enemy teleports they walk between rows. I had a run where this happened to a para-bite and they went right through my defense. 

btw this happened on the 0.1.8.1 version. I'm not playing the latest version because of the slowdown

Version 1.8.3 Visual bugs and lil C.H.A.D dissapearing

Currently there are only two things i dislike in game.
1. After first boss, player gets in shop, and there are never 99 coins gathered at this moment, so why irritate player with listing useful thing 99 price, if garanteed player wouldn't be able to buy it?! Plus, as i noticed, things that were not bought will not appear in next shops, so it's sure "item lost for this run"..   Especially it irritates when later you have more money than can spend, but those "not-bought" things are lost.

2. Pills mechanics. Each run they change effect - fine. but why there is no way to see description before picking one, when i already checked what it does and know the effect? Eventually it comes to figuring out the colours of 1 pill i feel useful for this run, and skipping all others = not fun.

Yet, i don't understand abilities of some:
-Faster speed doesn't seem to do anything(though in theory should be cool faster shooting buff);

-Slower speed as i understand is a de-buff, so just irritates by mere existence;

-Something wrong feels like mutator, changing baby behaviour - interesting idea, but as it's difficult to figure out if it won't make good baby into crappy one, i just skip all these.

BTW, am i right that heart producing baby is not influenced by pills? Feels like this, neither Faster speed nor Power pill make one produce more hearts.(shame)

Here's what all the pills do, if it helps.

Power Pill: Has different effects for each baby, but mostly boosts their power.

Speed up: It does increase the speed of babies, you probably just can't notice.

Speed down: is a negative pill, like the ones in Isaac.

Percs!: Gives a shield to a baby, that can take extra damage, as well as block instakills (same as Book of Shadows)

Something's Wrong: Causes a baby to shoot a random tear from a pool of all tears in the game (except crispy baby shots because of a bug). Best used on brother bobby.

Full Health: Self explanatory.

All the pills other than something's wrong do work on heart producers, including power pills, which make them give 75 hearts.


As for shops: In my experiences, I have actually almost always had over 100 coins, especially on the first floor. Assuming you keep all chargers (which you should on the first floor), you will get 72 coins from them. Then, you get what seems to be about 20-25 coins from the boss. This should bring you to over 90 coins. The fact you haven't had enough means you probably haven't picked up coins on the floor, either because you haven't noticed them, or because you've gotten extremely unlucky and none have spawned. Coins can drop from poops, enemies, and three drop from yellow champions, and coins can be pennies, nickels, and dimes. You would need to get 2-7 depending on which of my estimates for boss drops are right.

Getting a 99c item may not always be the correct choice anyway. For instance, due to only one negative pill currently being in the game, Phd is pretty unhelpful.

I hope this helps!

Thank you for descriptions, kinda true i didn't notice effects of some pills, though specifically tried checking. For example placed two similar babies next to each other and pilled one - only Power, Health and Shield are definitely noticeable. Well, will have to trust all Do work.)

Probably true, i was unlucky to get spawned coins or missed them under enemy wave/many actions at the same time. Still flaw of "what wasn't bought is lost in next shops" remains, and definitely player can't buy a lot in first shop, while later will have expense of coins for nothing to spend. So it could be cool if items either reappear in next shops, or there appeared some extra options. Like say pay some reasonable price to re-roll shop and get more items right away.

I would love an option to pick last loadout so I don't have to reenter it. Also, a neat idea could be an anti grav baby where it's tears start stay for a long time or until hit by an enemy. It could allow you to have some cool synergies. 

This is partly a complaint but when I play on my smartphone suddenly the fps decrease in the middle of the game even if I have a high quality smartphone. 

The thing i recently found really irritating is update notice in main menu, that keeps asking each time you get in menu - let it ask once for player to update or skip till next version(so no more messages).

THE BIGGEST making me nuts enemy is the Hardy = can't be slowed, can't be freezed, moves quite fast, definitely deals harm, if "covered" by other monsters moving along or moves smth upfront - can destroy whole row by itself. 
Just totally hate it!

I lost all of my baby from my run when i updated from 1.8.1 to 1.8.4

In 0.1.9, if you collect a card and inmediatly select a baby with the numbers key right as the card is being dragged to the left side, then you will not waste the baby you selected, you essentially get a free baby wihout using the card every single time you select after picking a card quickly in the Boss fight

Hey!

I have had a bug recently where when you pick up a pill,  it just becomes a new pill and you can pick up as many as you want, like an infinate pill! I checked it out and it seems that if you have a full pill inventory and pick up a new pill, it doesnt want to disappear. So if you use a pill and then pick up the pill again it disappears

i have 0.1.8.4 Alpha version

love the game! 10/10

Can you fix the slow down? Each uptade is making the game go slower, especially during big waves

I just can't play, when i start the game it just does nothing, while in the app the "start" button reappears, like nothing happened.

Начиная с обновления 0.1.9.1 игра сильно тормозила. В нее невозможно играть. Пожалуйста исправьте.

I don't know if this is an oversight or if it's intended, but collecting things only requires your mouse to be held rather than being clicked.

It's intended, it's the same in PvZ

ah, I never noticed that.

Thank you

I Found a bug in the game that if you have Physic baby and pastal candle in the middle of boss fight while the boss moves up and down the physic baby projectile follow the boss.

Proving that I only chose hidden babies, yet I did not get the achievement (though some hidden babies were chosen from that random, third pick).Also trying to beat a level using only red babies (is Ball of Bandages not a red baby or something?).

That random, third pick = hidden babies. Ball of Bandages is not red.

Oh.

Those two pixels from The Battery infuriate me

Fire from Crispy Baby and Paschal Candle stands out too much while they recharge. Should be more desaturated
