developer response: Absolutely, you're spot on! They do feel a lot like achievements, don't they? Perhaps "achievements" would indeed be a more fitting name. These quests are really there to offer a bit of guidance, kind of like a fun tutorial, showing players what's possible in the game and giving a sense of direction. So, while the name might suggest something a bit different, their main goal is to enhance your experience and guide you along your gaming journey.
I have a few comments though:
Speed is the core of the game and I appreciate you allowing us to speed up an idle game so quickly, but I almost feel like you max out speed way too fast. After you max out speed, most of the enemies except ones with certain gimmicks cannot compete. As a result, early runs will usually start off super slow then speed its way to prestige extremely quickly. Though to be fair, this is less of a problem later as you kind of want speed to be maxed out as soon as possible anyways (and I also appreciate the speedup button for)
This is a symptom of the previous problem, but I felt that there were some enemies that were just flat out weak for their area. This is more apparent in challenges where it was beneficial for me to choose to fight enemies from the 5th and 6th boss's area before I even fought enemies from the 3rd and 4th boss's area. I think most of these weak enemies fall under the category of new gimmick that isn't just dodge/stun/invincibility or some variation of reflection. However, I think their abilities are interesting and I'd like to see them being more useful. Maybe they'd fit better in a side dungeon you could run. Thankfully, this isn't a problem with the final boss who I can rarely just skip to without decent preparation.
As someone else has mentioned before, you don't really learn about items unless you search for them. Regardless though, most of the items are really nice to have. I'd argue, however, some of the later items are way way stronger than previous items (with the exception of the final item which appears to be incredibly weak). For example, you have items that give 4 dmg, items that give 5 dmg, item that gives 5 dmg and 20 magic, and then you have items that give 50 dmg and 10 fire (which to be fair was the third to last item to be unlocked).
Final comment, which might be a nitpick, but I'd recommend you order the challenges by difficulty. I understand that their ordered alphabetically and where the stats are placed, but challenges are usually ordered by basic difficulty in most games and some might find it confusing when they can't get past a few levels of the first, as the challenges are basically ordered inversely in relation to difficulty. In fact, you really want to complete the second challenge before trying to finish the entirety of the first.
And please make these buttons persistent, so they don't randomly turn themselves off like it happens with current "Autofight" button.
On a side note: I have an item slot, but how do I get items?
