Yes, most of the scripted automation are done at the beginning of the cycle. Thus it will not take effect until next cycle. However later in the game there's another skill that let you to custom tweak your run paths, and you can stop/pause at anytime.
Which browser are you playing on? If you are on Chrome or Edge, you should be able to bring up the developer console. See if there are any JavaScript errors reported there. If there is, see if you can copy/paste it here.
Noted on the upgrades "re-purchase". Currently the free (zero cost discount) is temporarily stored in session, and a browser refresh will make you lose this discount. I'll make this permanent in the 0.3.x release.
New version will also auto start animal planets for rat/bat, making a situation where 2 combat start simultaneously rarer (I suspect this is the case for most of the players who got stuck).
Not sure. Could be browser related. I'm using the game loop to do the tick count, rather that real world time. Perhaps if PC is busy processing somewhere else, it will affect that speed the game runs.
I actually did not intend to extend the game so soon yet, but there a lot of of good ideas coming in from Reddit, which gave me inspiration to bring it further. Among the few "itches" of players that will be addressed to in the coming version are: exploring more non-linear playthrough, more classes to absorb, transition of base classes to higher form of classes (e.g. Bat > Vampire, Wolf > Werewolf, etc), implementation of good vs evil traits, actions having impact on subsequent loops, etc etc
Thanks for the report. I think between the 2 goblin encounters they should be fine, just that random rat issue is causing it to break. I'll add a check for the rat later none to initiate is another battle is already underway.
The images in the game is 768 x 768 in resolution. They are scaled from their original 1024 x 1024, so it is not much difference from what you are already seeing on your screen. Unless you are viewing them from a small mobile screen, you can save/open in new tab to get a larger view on your device.
Demon Soul (which you earn from killing Legion). The next layer of the game is still being implemented at the moment, and the altar will be the access point to this new part of the game.
Somewhere at one of the crossroads, you will encounter a room that allows you to fight and absorb the opponent, and return back to Ooze form. Rats, bats & imps are 3 of the optional/neutral enemies that you can hunt in your adventure to earn additional XP as well as other bonuses, if you have unlocked them.
Dont worry too much about your XP on your first run. Just enjoy the story and reach the boss. You will discover the use of XP soon enough, as well as other rewarding game mechanics.
