Tingus Goose: Weird Idle Game 12+

Disturbing, creepy, unnatural....and absolutely addicting!

This game has occupied more of my free time than I care to admit at this point. I was not familiar with any other work from the devs, so I went in this having no idea what to expect. It is super weird and disturbing in all the right ways. It provides enough of a challenge to keep you hooked, and it supplies the tools to succeed without dropping money on IAPs. That being said, I bought the ad free upgrade early on and it has been super helpful in progressing. So much so that it brings me to my only complaint..

Devs, when are we gonna get some new levels and sprouts? I'm on level 31 now and I haven't seen a new stage or sprout in a long time. Admittedly it's starting to get a little repetitive playing the same stages over and over, and without any new sprouts to look forward to. It's also been extremely hard to upgrade the specimens, as it takes hundreds of them to get even one upgrade, which takes a very long time when you're only collecting a couple at a time with the free worm every few hours.

All that being said, this game is definitely worth the play and I really hope we get some new content soon!

Developer Response ,

Great game; terrible level

I want to say first and foremost that I like this game a lot. I’ve been playing since it came out and have happily contributed money to the developers for making it. That said, there is one level “Apocalypse” that is so poorly designed, thought out and frustrating, that I’m considering no longer supporting the game.
In a game that is designed around constructing complicated chains of Rube Goldberg-esque machines to maximize how much money you make, having a level that randomly destroys your babies to prevent you from doing so is an absolutely stupid design choice. And not only do they destroy your potential to make money, they take money away! Absolute madness.
Other levels provide obstacles and different paths to force you to work around, but this level is simply random destruction and, unlike the other levels, they provide no means to counter it or even minimize it somehow. It would be scummy to make a player pay to somehow mitigate it, but they don’t even allow that; it is simply a bad design choice.
This may seem like a minor gripe in the scheme of things, but I was really enjoying the game and happily supporting it before this absolutely frustrating level put a stop to any desire I had to keep going. I really hope they rethink how that level works, or else I fear many others will fell the same.
