sort: go backA simple "buy max" button for the buyables would make the game so much better, having to hold the same button again and again, with a limited buy rate, is pretty boring
What's the point in locking Shadow Energy after you unlock it? I can't see it anymore and the game's practically started from the beginning again. Are the two milestones I unlocked even working? How can I know?
your cat looks cute
This really needs a milestone to keep ether upgrades on shadow reset.
Probably somewhere between the 50 and 500 shadow milestones.
FFS, please add buy max. Having to hold a button down until you get to 1750 is so boring...
I'm liking it, but is there anything AFTER super either 30? Any new hidden layers, or hidden milestone, or is it just endless grind of the same 3 previous layer for achievement?
Would love to know if there's a goal after that.
developer response: Super Ether 30 is the current endgame.
Pacing is odd. You can accidentally jump into the Super Ether "challenge" wall right after unlocking Shadow Energy, and then you don't even touch Shadow again until you break out of Super Ether. Then, by the time you get back to Shadow Energy, you have the option to continue getting Super Ether, which just erases your previous progress for no observable benefit. This could be balanced to be interesting, as it's not how any other TMT mod I know works. For a start, you need to make buyable automation permanent, and either make it clear that you're working towards something with post-30 Super Ether, or turn it off/scale it out of reach.
Bought last shadow upgrade before I finished doing all the shadow energy stuff. Got stuck doing the super ether stuff without ether multipliers doing anything, including all the super milestones that say they give bonuses to ether amount, even after getting 30 completions ether gain isn't affected by upgrades or buyables.
imma not play this until buy max is added cuz carpal tunnel isnt nice
Ether buyables need buy max.
developer response: I would but I don't actually know how to code one 😭
The buyables are fine just the automation after getting Super Ether is the problem. I would also like upgrades to be automated as well instead of manual, but it's fine albeit annoying
@CoolRadGamer so is every other incremental game with click spamming...
btw you can buy a ton of buyables by clicking on one and holding enter
Ether buyables feel a bit unbalanced, I can just buy them and I don't lose enough money, so I can just click it and hold enter to buy all of them really fast with no monetary consequences.
ive gotten so many super ether secret milestones how many are there? ive gotten to 31 super ethers
one of the buyable spam of all time (good game tho)
branches: ["layerid here", "etc"]
when you get 50 shadows and unlock auto buy buyables, the game slows way down. if only i could turn it off. other than that its been a perfect game.
developer response: Should I make it upgrade a bit slower?
You REALLY need to add something to make the Ether buyables persist or automated through all the resets. I'm very tired of having to sit and wait for them to be purchased manually. There's zero point in having the only automation for them in Shadow when the other two reset it almost immediately after you unlock it.
developer response: I hate the buyables worst thing I made I don't even know why they exist
I'll probably make the automation permanent
