I hoped on the game this afternoon and everything was reset, all my current run progress, insight, ascensions, and upgrades gone. However my Game Center still had my progress/leaderboard positions still saved in the settings menu. Is there any reasons for this?
Dev, I love the idea. The grind is okay, could be better. A small 1.5x or 2x boost for milestones of individual generators (50, 100, 250, 500, etc.) would make it feel just a little bit more balanced. More ways to mitigate heat NEED to be added. Adding a little more documentation would also help, knowing how much heat something generates or degenerates as one example. Another being descriptions of the daily quests, guessing what I need to do based on the title is frustrating. The grid automations make no sense and needs either documentation or overhauling. The ascension system seems to be broken. I have over 100 insight but I can’t unlock any of the upgrades. And lastly… the shop. Having to “restore purchases” in order to unlock the automation or the almost nonexistent cosmetics is… an issue. Solving some of these issues will lead towards a better simulation. There are more including, tech and how there needs to be more to research before reaching stellar, especially because you can get to stellar before you barely have 1% planetary. I hope you are able to make these changes. I will update or make another review after there has been significant progress. Thank you Dev for giving me something to puzzle over (heat mitigation), and I can’t wait to see what you can do to make it better!
Insight does nothing as you cannot use it, all upgrades remain locked. Once you unlock orbital level you can no longer have access to the heat menu to disperse heat. Not a lot seems to work the way intended. Hope dev works on it as the game is enjoyable at face level.
