comments for Odyssos

there is, theoretically, an absolutely awesome game here

however Wisdom inflates so quickly and sharply that the game quickly loses all sense of balance (that and all the placeholders everywhere make it a little difficult to tell what upgrades actually do)

can't wait for further updates, though, because this is an absolutely solid start

Zone cost upgrades do not actually lower zone cost. I have no idea what zone production does, as I cannot any mention of it other than things that supposedly upgrade it. What do the zones produce?

0.0.7c is a good start, but quite unfinished in many aspects.
- The balancing of the progression is way off. Basically everything becomes locked behind exploration VERY quickly
- Rebirths are brutal, since any automation is locked behind manually progressing exploration
- The dropCapNames for the various effects are hard to parse
- It's hard to tell what is placeholder text for upcoming features or if what's just named oddly
- Essence can be spent in what appear to be useless upgrades. I don't need 100 skill points when there are only a few dozen skills
- Clicking to "collect" achievements for radiance feels awkward
- Many spots in exploration, especially in Peninsula, are slightly out of order, missing/miscalculated, or inexplicably unreachable
- Refreshing seems to reset rebirth multiplier. This made me step away because doing yet another rebirth feels like torture

So far a pretty enjoyable game, I would love if the achievments could be a little less bulky and more organized though.

This game comes to a crawl after unlocking energy training. For some reason there are 10 upgrade levels that each double force and wisdom training, but only 1 upgrade level to boost energy training??? Getting to 1e65 energy is turning out to be insufferable.

Odyssey is a little bit broken, I cant finish some of the areas.

This game has most of what it needs to be great, but it's missing that last 10% of (1) polish and (2) balancing that takes 50% of the work to make it really compelling. In terms of balancing, right now it proceeds in a strange way, masses of things unlocking at once before you have time to even appreciate what you're unlocking. Plus, the numbers get stupid big far too quickly. Incremental games are more fun when you have to struggle a bit for your unlocks. Looking forward to this becoming wonderful.

Energy is soooooo hard to obtain. It's crazy.

There very quickly becomes no reasons for skill points.

Ive been stuck on energy levels of e67, and no matter how many times I rebirth and level stuff up nothing works. i feel like ive tried every possible combination fro the skill tree, but i dont understand what the green and the purple branches actually do. please help

Also there are three zones in the wooded island of the peninsula that are unclickable.

The ability to auto-progress exploration should be linked to Essence instead of Crystals. As it is, you have to trudge through the first two levels every time you ascend, and that gets very old very quickly.

Great game! Not sure what I need to do to bust through the energy wall I seem to have hit at e70+. Not sure if I am just to supposed to spam rebirth and build that multiplier or wait for energy to build up to slowly push through exploration. Or I am at the theoretical current endgame.

artifacts get stuck and lock you out of purchasing them, cant progress anymore

really liking the game. running into the same energy wall others are, but I'm trying to trudge through it.
leaving a comment because I've noticed what I'm pretty sure is a bug. I have 55 'duck tape wraps' and 55 'stick ring' artifacts, and the cheapest further upgrades for each cost 1 of their respective shard, which I have e5 of. I cannot purchase them, probably because the amount it says I will be purchasing is '+-5'. If I had to guess, when I was buying max at some point it calculated me past the 50 cap and now I'm stuck here. any way out of this?

Most of my own complaints have already been noted by the previous comments, especially the zone cost skills being broken as it's quite clear from reading zone text with them active that they're needed for getting past most of the energy-based zones and how the "all training" essence boost only affect force rather than everything, but I'd also like to mention a glitch with Artifacts that lets you keep getting levels past the intended caps which gets "fixed" after enough rebirths, resulting in the purchase buttons showing negative numbers based on extra levels bought.

are the achievement icons ai lol

i really want to play this game but it breaks so easily or i accidentally click a placeholder and become god to the point playing the game normally becomes difficult. please do not leave experiemntal features or placeholders in the game if they will just get in the way or ruin everything.

feedback:
- i'm honestly not sure if any of the zone upgrades do anything
- the same bug reports as the other comments
- it would be nice to have some sort of tip to get automation before your first rebirth, since i think it would fix the softlock reports if nothing else

it's cool, i just wish it was easier to understand

if the essence energy training upgrade is meant to cap at 1 vs the force/wisdom training upgrades' caps of 10, it should maybe be noted that it's not a bug. if it's not meant to be capped there... uh, maybe it shouldn't cap at 1
