And apparently it doesn't automatically continue the last action after energy's been filled up again. Maybe that's an upgrade? If it's missing entirely that's kinda questionable. Why have it automatically rest but not continue what it was doing?
developer response: There was a bug in the first version 0.1 where the cap was not respected under some conditions. That was fixed in 0.1.1.
Automations for work/surf and other things will be added as unlockables as you progress the game.
Oh, definitely not a fan.
"At the moment you can activate full game without payment as a thanks for your early support."
On the other hand, this is kind of nice? I'm still used to Kongregate and the like where the uploaded games were free to begin with, some with added content when you pay, so in all honesty paying for an incremental game still strikes me as odd.
Oof, looks like that level 4 forecasting and observing criterion for side quest 2.2 wasn't changed from before. Maybe the xp gain for the skill was increased? If that hasn't changed I'm still going to label this as a bug till the dev weighs in.
The 3 criteria for that sidequest + my progress: Surf for 15 days (348) Work 30 hours as surf guide (106.7) Reach level 4 in Forecasting and Observing (I'm 5% of the way there, halfway to level 3).
The first two are fine, the last one (which is a part of surfing itself) is absolutely insane. By the time I reach that I'll have overshot the surf time requirement by 464 times.
developer response: I hear you and many other commentors, that this is a major shortcoming. Working on it...
developer response: Sorry to hear that. The game URL changed so maybe you can find your save on old url: https://goat-surfer.netlify.app/. There you can continue, or export and import it in to the new location.
developer response: The latest version is more IDLE friendly and if you are offline or on different tab, you start collecting STOKE which helps you to speed up the game when you are back to active play.
Otherwise, it's a pretty clean, interesting idle game.
