comments for The Point Tree
sort: go backI think early Mega is too spaced out, too much grinding. There's nothing new in 4 layers, so stretching it out makes no sense, just makes people bored with the game. You gotta add something different, because if you're just doing milestones and upgrades, your game doesn't stand out at all. It's very linear and very simple.
developer response: In V1.1, there is challenges
[Upvote this comment!!]
Developer note: The game is on-hiatus for now.
developer response: Major version every 3-4mths, with the first update (v3.5a) on Minigame Part 5 on Feb 2025
The pacing for the first 3 layers is pretty good, keeps you fairly engaged... but its just the same old stuff over and over. Buy this upgrade or this row, then move on. There's nothing "unique" amongst the mechanics, there's nothing really engaging and there are timewalls present all throughout - albeit those timewalls aren't all that bad... until the energy layer. I also noticed that when you unlock "row 5" upgrades, it should ACTUALLY say "column 5", since some layers already have 5 or more rows, but none of them have more than 4 columns ;)
developer response: Outdated comment, since then, energy upgrades have much less timewalls, and column 5 bug fixed
Rip save, kys. (kys= keep yourself save)
developer response: Remember, there’s two types of saves. Import/Export and Galaxy Cloud Save. Once you did lose your save, you can go to achievements -> savebank to recover where you stopped (about there)
SA23 and SA24 is now possible without going back!
[Complete Mastery Challenge]
so the e78000 achievement is ungettable if you have sacrifices? the only way to get it is to go all the way back? well that sucks, would be nice if there were a way to get the achievement without all that time being wasted :(
developer response: Not in v2.2
Completely dumbfounded as to how to achieve Secret Achievement 9: e78,000 PF. No interaction on my end seems to be working. Basically the only thing that can lower PF production is entering challenges, but those don't seem to trigger it. Even entering Sac Challenge 3 and not buying the resulting Energy upgrades only drops me to e45,000,000 PF.
developer response: If you have over 1 sac, the achievement is ungettable.
This is a nice and simple incremental. Definitely more of a meta game, seeing as it lacks substance supporting the prestige layers. In other words, literally the whole game is prestige layers. I don't mind though, it moves at just the right pace to give me constant neuron activation, and doesn't usually make you wait longer than 5-10 minutes at any time.
i know this might be hard to understand..... but i don't think every upgrade needs a name
ALSO re sa9 - you do not want an achievement that's impossible after you reach a certain point in the game, especially if it has a boost that you get from it. please fix that.
Please tell me you're working on expanding the game, and not just doing small fixes here and there to keep your game on the front page.
developer response: yes.
i still have no clue how to get 3.029679879579 in minigame
developer response: Use exponent (^0.99) button
Okay so it tells you to do the mastery challenge in order to proceed, then it gives you an exact procedure for avoiding an apparent softlock. Except following the exact procedure didn't come close to getting the required milestone, leaving the challenge to try again disables the mastery tab and starts me over on 0 progress. Welp. GG. Why build soft locks into the game in the first place?

Minigame section of The Point Tree
Completely optional! Proceed if you want extra content. Will not abide with the <3min waits rule.
Minigame Achievements are classified into 4 subsections,
Joke number/Funny numbers (This will only occur in Row 1 achievements) [FN]
Strategic manipulation (Requires using different operations to get the result, may include exponent/+1 at spots [S]
Spamming (highest number requires long waits, up to 2hrs, progressively longer as you get further). This requires you to spam highest multiplier/exponent/spam a certain button [W]

Part 3: Row 5
Part 4: Row 6
There is an order to get these achievements.

Pretty good game but it's getting 5 stars just because you have enough respect for the player to tell them when they should attempt challenges
Every time I pick this game back up again I have forgotten how tedious it is.
such a fun game, i just got to water, and played like allday today and finnaly reached water, imma take a break xd
The game was fun and I can't understand why people are complaining about Mega. It was grindy BUT not that long. For those who complain Mega,** please have patience**(mega ONLY takes at most 1.5 hrs)
And @S2-_, there's nothing to do beyond endgame other than "True endgame".
developer response: V2.2A makes Mega take about 50-60 mins
Extreme 1/7:
x911, /7, /7, /3, /2, ^0.99, ^0.99 => 3.029679879579
Extreme 2/7:
x69 then hold ^0.99
Working on extreme 3 rn
[UPVOTE THIS COMMENT] Reaching non-decimal values in minigame needs you to work backwards.
developer response: Also, there is a intended way in how to complete the first 3 rows of the minigame
