Fun game, I've been playing it most of the day. :)
It looks like when you ascend, it does not reset the number of the things you own. So for example, it currently says I own 461 'Duck Ponds', but my autoduck income show correctly at '15'.
Your upgrades counts towards some achievements, so I thought I would not reset them so not to complicate things. Here is your friendly reminder not to spend too much time playing video games, also clicker games specifically may cause some strain to your hands after a while. I actually forgot to add the "an hour has passed" screen. I'm really glad that you enjoyed it though 😊
