I enjoyed this, Conways is fun and mixing it into an idler is a neat concept. Here’s some feedback:
Reset also resetting my upgrades is counter-intuitive and senseless. Make it just reset the grid
The ticks are a bit slow even at higher upgrades, I made some cool ships I want to see them moving
It would be really cool to have more upgrade types
The auto-spawner was kind of just annoying, it kept ruining my patterns and I didn’t find it helpful, it’s maybe best for idling, but it would maybe be helpful if it spawned useful patterns.
It would be really helpful if I could see the patterns I unlocked to re-use them (scope creep: let me paste them in)
When I click and drag, it would be nice if it kept the “mode” I was in, so that if I click a living cell first, it only erases living cells until I release the mouse
I went afk for a bit and it was frozen when I got back, and I’d lost all my progress 😭
Oh wow thank you so much for taking the time to play my little creepy claw game, and for writing such a lovely review. I especially loved your video review on youtube as it has some banger quotes:
"Was really interesting that a claw game could be this creepy"
Thanks for playing, and the lovely feedback. Thanks also for the bug reports, I'll take a look at these now. It's odd that it won't relaunch, I wonder if resetting the save data failed and actually corrupted your save. You might need to manually delete the save data.
Oh my gosh thank you so much for the wonderful feedback and for recording your playthrough!
There is unfortunately no sound in this version, as my goal was to keep scope as limited as possible. I do however plan to keep working on it, and sound will be one of my next goals.
It's feedback like this which really excites me to keep working on the game, thank you so much.
Hey thanks for the feedback, there are varying difficulties depending on the rarity and quality of the plush you get. You need to buy upgrades before seeing the higher harder ones.
