comments for Botnet Clicker

Hi everyone, first off I would like to thank everyone for holding with me while I fix the bugs in this game.

- I've read all of your comments and feedback so far and am working on
fixes for everything.
- This is my first game and everything is coded in JS so give me some
time.
- So if you could avoid leaving a low review until the next update that
would be much appreciated.
- Also if there are any changes / features you would like added to the
game, comment here and let me know!
- Thanks again for understanding and I am so glad that some of you are
enjoying my buggy first game!

all hacked stuff gives 35% more actually sets your multiplier to 0.35 instead of 1.35

Every game has issues. The feeling of the game is really immersive. Your UI is awesome. There's alot of little details that really bring the whole thing together. Even though there are some features left to be desired, you obviously put alot of thought and effort into making your first game. I think alot of commenters here forgot what makes galaxy.click so great. I'm eager to replay it after you fix the major bugs.

I got to the point I could purchase every upgrade and bounced around with a save state to test some of the upgrade bugs other people mentioned. I really like the style and theme of this game, so I wanted to collect things in a single post for the dev.

I tried all the upgrades in every way I could. Individually, groups, complete sets, etc.

The GPU and CPU upgrades for your own machine seem to be fine. I watched my outputs when purchasing them and they seemed to exactly as the upgrade said. However, when purchasing GPU upgrades I noticed that I would have to stop my miner, and then start it back up for the upgrade to take effect. Not sure if this is a bug or a feature, with the hacker theming.

Broken upgrades are present in nearly every upgrade path though.

1. The first "Each target requires x% fewer attempts to crack" upgrade seems to work, but none of the others do.
2. All "+x% to all compromised devices' CPU and GPU output" upgrades are bugged. 20, 50, and 75 do nothing, and 35 actually multiples .35 instead of adding .35 to the multiplier, meaning it actually cuts your outputs by over half.
3. I tried looking at every stat I could and did not see "Increase overall output" upgrades do anything? I might have overlooked something, or maybe it's changing something that doesn't have a hard number attached, but I couldn't find anything different after purchasing them individually, or collectively.
4. I have the worst luck in the world, but I did my best to test the "auto complete" upgrades. I purchased both upgrades, saved. I would load the save, buy a target, and then load back. I did this 50 times (I'll bill for my playtesting later) and didn't get an auto complete once. I can see if things change at any point in the future, but my progress is getting slow from the lack of intended upgrades, so it's taking awhile to hack targets now.

I did all this testing around in an attempt to be helpful. Hope it does something for you, lawlessguy.

Fair warning : there is NO auto-save implanted, or is not working on Brave Browser at the very least.
Also, the upgrade that make "all hacked stuff to give 35% more" is bugged, reducing my total production by 66%, which made me reload the page to try and fix the bug.

Whats after prestige? Is it just you go on and on, resetting for a bonus... Or is there more behind it? I love the concept and UI of the game, but I need to know when to stop.

With the major bug fixes and save feature, this is a really good foundation for an incremental. The graphics are snazzy and the information and idea is very clear. In the future, I'd love to see prestige upgrades and new content, if you're going to keep updating the game anyway. :) Even in its current state, it's a fun time waster.

I reached second master key, is there any new content unlocked after prestige? all I got was a small multi, are you going to add any more content post master key? like master key upgrades or something?

Lawlessguy, the sole developer of the game here. Sorry for the long wait, but all major bugs should be fixed now, that includes the broken upgrades and things not saving properly. Thanks for hanging with me and in hindsight I definitely should have waited to release this game until these issues were dealt with. if you notice anything else funky with the game please comment here and let me know and I will be sure to check in and keep you guys updated. Thanks again everyone for enjoying the game in the somewhat broken state that it was in. Everything should be good now :)

To add on to Zeforas' comment: not only is there no autosave, there is no save at all.
All there is is export your save string and import it later. Which is not something I want to bother with.

Obviously others have commented about the bugs that need to be addressed. The core of the game is really fun though, and I'm really eager to see the next tier of the game!
First you just need to verify all of the upgrades work as intended, and add a save button to chuck that save string into localstorage instead of leaving it to the user to store it.

I love the game. It feels almost Sisyphean every time I buy the Master Token and do it all over again.

Pretty cool game. Like many other commenters I would wish it had more after Prestige level. A few auto updates would be interesting, like "auto-install miner" on new devices, auto-start mining after prestige, etc.

Another QoL upgrade that I think would be invaluable is to separate the Black market and Dark Forum to two separate windows and I'm constantly switching between them during gameplay.

oh and it would be nice if you could sort the upgrades by like price and such

Please add an option to hide notifications, thanks

The click power upgrades persist after prestige. I'm not complaining, except if you buy a smaller buff later, it will decrease your click value.

looking forward to the next tier of stuff.

aw man I tried rm -rf ./*'ing the computer but it didn't work!!!!

I should've read the comments first, my production was completely gutted after the 35% upgrade...

Agreed on this being real buggy. The "% improvement" upgrades of various sorts vary from "actually does nothing" to "divides your CPU/GPU power and just nerfs you a lot". The best route is to export a save before buying an upgrade, then check to see if it actually does anything, then reload if it didn't but... Why should I have to work around incredibly punishing bugs like this, as a player?
