description
Big Golden Rock is a incremental game about a huge golden rock. Gather resources, hire shooters and archers, build towers, launch rockets, summon UFOs, and unlock increasingly powerful upgrades.
Felt I was just getting into the game before I looked away and came back to "thanks for playing" so resetting (it does that automatically) and trying to get further than 3 or so upgrades away from the first
Desperately needs a play after completion mode, I accidentally left it on over night and came back to it with a thanks for playing screen and no way to see all the parts of the demo
It feels unfair to review this right now because almost every non-percentage number in the skill tree is completely wrong.
My shooter attack is 16.4, so why are they hitting for 193?
My increased stone income is at 110.5, so why am I getting no higher than 7?
My cloud reward is 108, so why do I get 98?
I just unlocked metal income, apparently I get 100 per drop. I get 7 or 8.
The stone income bug (I hope it's a bug anyway) is the worst, because I just spent a good half hour idling to unlock the stone tower and it is so not worth waiting that long for it.
These bugs aside, the game seems fine, but it's basically a worse (the) Gnorp Apologue. I guess if you finished that game and wanted a similar one, this sort of fills that niche. I don't get a great sense of 'identity' from what I've seen so far though.
developer response: Thanks for the feedback, I'll fix it!

The art was ok but I don't understand medieval archetypes in the foreground with a modern city in the background. It's nonsensical.
