interesting game, although considering the early information density I'm not sure I would show things you cant actually make 2-3 researches before they become available

broke even at 281 days remaining by just selling high with everything at 100%.
had 10 mil + at day 211.
The game is a little easy, and while i get the humour of the alarms being incredibly annoying... they are still incredibly annoying.
Nothing shows up for staff under extra cost's, even when one is actually sick.
some of the production information is stuck at 0 throughout the game. repair costs(total), Average saleprice per barrel and average production effeciency.
interesting concept, although I wouldnt say it was a "game" yet.
the "powers" you can activate or far too cheap/short cooldown.
Seems interesting though. Would be interested in trying it again after its had more time to cook.
EDIT:added a 4 star review to counter the single wierd 1 star without a review
aspect ratio for computer is off, looks like for mobile and so the writing is very small and cramped.
EDIT: trying to do NPC and instead of getting the janitor it mentioned in the prompt i got a loan underwriter, and now no matter what the NPC prompt says it just returns to him. also searching heals you so do you even need the rest prompt?
feels like the text is AI generated, they rarely match what you choose, and the story is wrong most of the time. one time it starts with barracading yourself in/trying to escape, then convincing yourself nothing is wrong. also i got injured on a cucessful check to look for clues? huh? also the last part of the act was a look for clues, so i died from a failed awareness check for clues.
issue with description. says an outer disciple consumes 1 spirit stone a month and produces 1 spirit stone a month (for first realm) when it actually is consumes 1 a month and produces 1 a year, otherwise they would just pay for themselves
EDIT what does the number after realm (1-9) mean? when you hover over it just says how many spirit stones you produce.
considering two chapters is 66% of the content I feel its pretty fair to critique a game. just like comparing two similar games to better explain what I found dissatisfying about the game experience.
I told you what would make the game more enjoyable, and made more sense from a "time loop" perspective. that does not mean you have to agree or follow it, i simply offered my opinion.
while I have problems with games made by AI, my comment about AI wasnt the fact it was made in AI, but that all choices made in the game seemed the most generic possible (aka AI), which according to you, were the choices you personally made.
I assume the comment about the reply being made with the help of AI is a joke.
You seem to have a chip on your shoulder for doing.... not a lot.
Sorry for my middle of the road essay about your middle of the raod game.
EDIT: rereading your comment I just wanted to say that calling another game a clone when you made your's in AI is a little insulting to someone who actually put hard work in writing the code themselves.
so ive played for a few hours, got to the end of chapter 2.
this is extremely middle of the road, and very obviously AI generated.
I think my major problem is this reminds me of terraformental and is worse in every respect in comparison.
If i remember previous loops, why cant i get the code for the cryodoor to speed up its opening? if I know the chapter 2 door is to the north, why do i need to read the logs and then the map to get access to the door again. many of the 4/5 -> 5/5 choices offer nothing but a snippet of flavor text. Why are you offered the choice to re-decode something again, just for a small oxygen boost, instead of knwoing the decode already and getting a smaller task to access that oxygen.
it's like you chose every option to make this game more grindy and less enjoyable.
great game so far, two issues to bring up one minor one slightly less minor
1: the very first rebirth, i was left with 34 diamonds. seems like a rounding error
2: everytime the galactic ball emerges the ball dropping screen glitches out, either going blank or the interface spinning round real fast
EDIT Three: Apparently completely resetting my browser has fixed the issue :D
EDIT: the picture of the galactic ball on the rarity list is the paper n pen instead of the ball, so it doesnt seem to be able to load it
EDIT Two:
needs the progression to be smoothed out, faster first round and slower later rounds, potentially offering a prestige reward before 3 rounds are done. an upgrade to make auto cursors choose domino's better instead of just random would also be good. having the auto push upgrade cheaper would also be a good idea (1000?).
When I think domino's i think large lines collapsing so this felt a little underwhelming with only 3 at the start and 7 by time the i lost interest.
good game, but far too easy, and putting healing on the wheel is just meaningless when you heal after every fight. (yes i know some builds can use healing... but again, the game is too easy for it too matter)
I did 2 runs and i dont think i lost even 10hp over the fights in a single run.
I have complaints about the game but that doesnt take away from the fact this game is an easy 9/10. as other comments have said, i love the almost tactile sensation of the dice rolls, the wheel spinning, and the credits getting spat out. this game has to be the personification of "simple is perfection".
great pacing for the game, all the upgrades feel meaningful.
the gem scaling for upgrades hits just right.
the mimic gamble is great, although i found there wasnt really a downside to it. the mimic still gave gold so you barely missed out
I got lucky with the final boss with 3 crits meaning i didnt even need to buy the last few HP upgrades.
I would love a longer sequel.
overall: 8/10 (would be 9 if it had some fitting music/sound effects)
had an issue on first load up of the game that had WASD and arrow keys not working, but a refresh fixed it
game is great. you have a great balance scaling income and upgrades as you progress further. look forward to seeing more when the game comes out!
minor spelling mistake on final conversation (affraid double f)
