I liked the game, but so much manual labor, some automatios will be nice as asked

It would be helpful to have goals identified. Without you telling another commenter that something past Ash unlocks at 1M ash (so save your ash), it's equally plausible that something past Ash unlocks at, e.g., 25 of each upgrade (so keep spending your ash).

developer response: Agreed, I will work on that!

Update: v0.3.1 added an indicator to properly guide new players to their first Obliteration.

That's a good game in facts but put some automations please

developer response: Automations are indeed planned!

I only accidentally discovered you can HOLD the collect button to spam it instead of repeatedly clicking it (the click -> hold enter strat did not work here)

developer response: Yeah, I should probably write it somewhere. Holding "COLLECT" will autoclick ~10 times per second. I will further improve accessibility for this down the line, so you don't even have to hold it, just hover it. (And in later stages of the game, clicking becomes nigh obsolete anyways)

I thought it was over, marked it complete, then I saw the training tab. That wasn't very apparent when it showed up.

developer response: Yes! I will add some form of "Hey, you just unlocked this!" somewhere soon :)

Am I just blind? I see several people talking about a portal and combat and I don't see either. I'm at 1e100 ash.

Thought maybe answer would be on the Discord but that link isn't working.

developer response: It's a bit confusing right now, sorry!

Welp, I was enjoying this. Came back to work Monday morning and my save is nowhere to be found.

You're able to hold down the collect button, right click to open the context menu, click off to remove it and it'll still act as if you have the left mouse button held down on the collect button. Rinse and repeat and you can stack it.

I am not sure, but whatever you added recently turned off Offline Production. Even if I have the game opened in a different tab, and didn't close out the game, I am no longer gaining any Ash. This makes later game when grinding for 160 clones a bit tiresome :D I hope you bring back offline progress, even if at a reduced rate!

developer response: Yeah the offline calculations are very crude right now, expect a fix for that in the next patches. I think the best workaround is to have your game in a different window rather than a Tab, sorry for the inconvenience!

EDIT: Just pushed an Update (v0.3.5) that should vastly improve Offline calculations, might not be perfect, but should now no longer be much of an issue.

Exploration is a bit of a chore considering how much of it is needed, I absolutely have better things do to than click once every 8-10 seconds for something where I find nothing part of the time.
Wouldn't be so bad it if was one of the available buildings, auto-explore alongside exploration cooldown reduction.

developer response: Exploration should be less grindy next patch, it's definitely not yet in a sweet spot.

I will play this game, but if I finish it and when you update I need to start from the beginning, please add the function to export to clipboard the save, so we can use cloud save.

developer response: Good idea. I will try to implement that with one of the next updates!

do you pretend to make the clone generation automation work offline?

developer response: Oh, oops! Haha, completely forgot that when overhauling the offline calcs ;D
Gonna patch that soon, sorry for the inconvenience!

I actually like the concept I can't wait for this to get developed more, I'll try and play it every update if can, I hope this because quite fun and unique as it gets developed

developer response: Aww, thanks so much, glad to hear it! <3
And: yes! There is lots in works, stay tuned. :)

As soon as I reloaded to update to 0.6, I lost my progress.

developer response: I am very sorry! Browser remove this data sometimes, you (or anyone else) can write a message on the support channel in our Discord, if you'd like a savegame to get you back up to speed.
I am constantly improving the safeguards against this type of data loss, but it will probably never be airtight, so I recommend doing backups occasionally!

Can we get an auto clone perk? It's tiring to get to 160 manually xD

developer response: Autocloning is coming soon, yes! Sorry for the hassle :'D

Is there a discord or anything? really nice game

developer response: Not yet, not sure if it would make sense yet :)

THere's a funny bug where if you hold down on the collect button, then right click, then click out of it, the game will continue to collect as if you're holding the button down, letting you do upgrades while progressing quickly through the game. The funny part is that it's stackable lol.

developer response: Yes, it's a known exploit, I'll fix it... someday, for now use it if you want, def speeds up early game :)

It's generally pretty good, but the big issue I'm having is that the things I unlock don't actually become relevant because 1) I can often obliterate before I can afford them and 2) if not, I only get to briefly use them before I can. The obliteration bonus is not big enough, and the unlocks are at the end. I would consider maybe bumping the obliterate bonus to +100% but then increasing the cost to obliterate to maybe 100x instead of 10x each time (maybe after the 3rd obliterate).

developer response: The pacing isn't super optimal yet, yes. Some upgrades like Digestion are absurdly strong and make the next few Obliteration cycles way too fast. I'll balance that as time goes on :)

i logged in and after i got the offline production everything stopped completely, i even made a but nothing, the menus and every ui still work, but it is like the progression is halted

developer response: You're not the only one with that issue, I am currently investigating the cause and will push a fix ASAP

Edit: I think I have isolated the issue and are working on a fix, expect it some time soon
Edit2: I've pushed a potential fix, please let me know if the problem is fixed! :)

Also, my levels on perk point speed weren't boosting the perk points until i refreshed. Aside from these issues, progression was ok. I don't know why people are complaining
