A really amazing game, was balanced nicely and I liked the light comedy added to the story. Definitely one of my favorite incremental games. Good work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. I'm adding/fixing stuff fairly frequently so check back sometime if you're bored!

Really great game but it seems to take FOREVER to unlock new things - is there a specific amount of the previous that you need or is it based on time?

Also it's a bit too easy as I only got halfway through the time before I beat it, and apparently it wouldn't run out for another day and a half - Speaking of that, time expansion has stopped growing, it's stuck at 1003.. is that intentional?

Developer

Yeah I am currently working on the balancing! 

Everything needs a specific amount of the previous to unlock but it's way too much later on. And also like you said you beat it with half the time left so there's more balancing there too.

I did cap time expansion because it just started getting ridiculous, my ~algorithm isn't very smart yet so eventually the expansion got really crazy high. It should cap at 1000 exactly but I think I have a rounding error floating around in there somewhere ;)

But thank you so much for your feedback, like I said I'm focusing on balancing but I also am going to fix that rounding error based on what you pointed out!

This game is unique, i liked the idea and it was great, great work developer!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!

I am having a bit of an issue, for some reason the Start button on Timehenge is blocked out.

Developer

Sorry about that, let me take a look! If you are able to export your save and post it here that would be helpful too.

Developer

I found the issue and it should be fixed now!

Thanks, I#ll see if it works now! And uh...I did forget to save like an idiot. So I guess time to start over.

Nevermind, it was still saved somehow, works now!

........okay, funny thing happened...................time ran over into 0 from having too many days left.

Developer

Huh interesting. I'll take a look at that too. Thanks for the bug reports :)

Developer

I thought I had fixed that issue, and I had, but then I broke it again later. Long story short, it is fixed again! But I think it's too late for your particular save :(

Well, not like it takes TOO long to get there. I'm glad to have such quick responses and fixes, that's a big plus.

I would also like to note that when resetting a game via the symbol at the bottom right, stuff is often unlocked out of order.

Developer

hmm, like it unlocks out of order later? or you reset and stuff is unlocked immediately?

It would be nice if we could buy the upgrades by more than one.  Otherwise, this seems like a fun enough game. I just wish I could buy them more than one at a time. It's a real pain to have to click like 100 times.

Developer

yeah that's on my todo list! also to balance things a bit better so you don't need to buy so many of them :)

It's possible this game gets interesting at some point. Fantastic, even. But I've clicked up to 200 physics points, and absolutely nothing has changed, unless I've managed to miss something. I'd rather not go through the tedious process of a few hundred more clicks to see if anything decides to change later down the line. A shame, really.

Developer (1 edit)

That is not intended and I will look into it. It should unlock something at 10 physics. If you're willing to send me your save file to pbr4ne@protonmail.com (click on Export on the bottom) and let me know what browser you're using it would help me out. If you restart, does it fix it?

I just tried to get to ten on Microsoft Edge, and it seems to work as intended. My initial comment was made while trying to play on Chrome. Perhaps I should learn by now that Chrome doesn't like to work with browser games on itch.

Developer

It works on chrome for me so I'm still concerned! I hope I can reproduce it somehow.

A winning strategy seems to be to spam buying auto-generators for the highest tier first resouce you have unlocked, since it gets produced really quickly relative to how much it sells for. And then use that money to buy the rest of the auto-generators you want.

then you buy the automation to get way to many quantum computers(like 1000) and time basically stops

I was wanting more by the time I reached the end. I think a prestige system would be a great addition - just switch off the story pop-ups for the next times through.

Developer

good idea!

(This is NOT hate) 
UGHKDDLSAJKL;AJ;KL games with countdowns are SO stressful. I thought I was gonna crash and burn LOL!!! Also, I don't usually consume time-related content at all because I have never, ever been able to understand it. However, I played this game because I was bored and it was a clicker and even though I don't understand W H A T just happened, I loved it :D Interaction between Lennox and Young Lennox was so funny LOL. 

Lovely game ^^ Does not take too long to complete, but still has enough content. I had a little trouble with tracking the supplies and stuff but I know that's just me :) I loved it ^^

Developer

Thank you so much! Haha yeah there's definitely more that can be improved in the game but I'm glad you enjoyed it :D

It seemed fine to me :) I had a lot of fun playing it ^^ Also I (which is very unlike me) had a lot of fun with the countdown actually! Because for me at a certain point time just... stopped after I reached 30 days and I was like ''oh... that's not stressful... at all, actually... Huh, I think I might actually be able to make this and save the world :D'' Whilst usually games with countdown keep counting down and I gotta try over and over again cuz I'm too stubborn to give  up LOL. Thank you for making this awesome game ^^ I really enjoyed it :D 

I died or whatever, got the red skull thingy, then it let me keep playing. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but I got all the way to the crystal sarcophagus and now I'm not sure what to do
