Ratings and Reviews
Great game, but bugs can very much ruin the experience
(Some spoilers ahead) As far as bugs go my main issue is with how some things just lose you a bunch of progress, like returning to a world. Every time I’ve tried returning to a previous world to reach an artifact easier I end up losing the world I just reached including the artifact even though I already got to it. Another one is with the final Drone/Factory upgrades just not working properly, making phase 2 drag out for a while at the end. I really REALLY hope these bugs get fixed sometime because they’ve caused a lot of inconveniences
Superb game. Extremely engaging.
I absolutely love this game. A friend of mine who’s a senior developer at Google‘s AI team recommended it to me. There’s always something to do and Real depth to the games mechanics. As a math guy, I’ve had to put genuine thought into the best times to deploy certain resources (I can’t think of another game where I’ve had to use logarithms to optimize my strategy). I am experiencing a bug though. I’ve played through the game maybe 30 or 40 times And on the app I’ve beat it in A little over 45 minutes . I know what I’m doing. In my last play through in stage three, space exploration, I’ve hit a place where I have maybe 20 billion drones and a ton of wire and matter, but when I set my probes to build factories nothing happens. I think this is a bug related to the entertain the swarm bug that you guys said you fixedA little while ago. If youCould have a look at this, I’d really appreciate it.
Addicting. Gets me off twitter!
Would recommend the game.
Some small bugs
- Clicking “activate” on an already activated artifact (possible if you have just opened the app sometimes) gives you a bunch of red error text over the screen. The only way to get rid of it is to restart the app.
- There’s a button to turn on and off sound. There is no sound. Not sure why that button is there.
