sort: go back
You NEED to nerf the university upgrade. Once you get that the strat becomes to go into the highest level you can without moving the mouse off the planet. Once you get that upgrade it takes like 5-10 mins to finish the game. it took me about 30 mins after i got it to max out the tree.
developer response: Hey, thanks for flagging, I'm going to nerf this skill :)
Neat little game but as others have said, it's very easy to grind early levels like level 1/2 with the powerful currency upgrades and then simply trivialize the game.
developer response: Yep! This is addressed in the full version which is now out on Steam! <3
Hmmm....Strange how all I can see is a blank black box for a game window.
developer response: I'm unsure why that might be - this is the first report. If you have any info about what device you're running the game on, that might help me fix it for you :)
could you put the itch.io link in the description?
developer response: Done
As mentioned before, the university upgrade is pretty OP and pacing kinda goes from 1 to 100 really quick, but the game looks really clean and plays really well!
Oh no, is it supposed to just end with the planet on its own, no enemies and just nothing? I wish I could have completed all the upgrades but either it broke or the end is just very end.
I found the easiest way to play was to replay already beaten levels and use the spare ship bonus to earn money, then pump my production of ships. I replayed level 1 several times and made like 18 grand, then bought a bunch of upgrades and cruised the rest of the game.
developer response: Interesting strategy haha, I'm going to nerf upgrades that make this easy.
