This was a lot of fun, I unlocked everything available in this version. I wish on the upgrade menu you could click and drag to move or something? it can be difficult to zoom in and out where you want.

Pretty fun! Played it the whole way through and it took me just under 4 hours. Pretty solid in terms of content.

The upgrades feel mostly well paced although it does feel very slow at times. Maybe it's because I prioritised economy upgrades, I don't know.

Other times, it does seem like I'm stuck behind a hard requirement to progress, such as a certain skill or character. That can be okay but a couple times I felt forced to go back to farming instead of being able to get resources while trying again.

This is another point, it feels like you can either make progress on beating levels OR gain resources by playing already beaten levels. Again, that can be fine and is bound to happen with incremental games, however, this is almost exclusive here which can get repetitive...

Oh also you may well know already but the knight is uh... completely broken haha. It rendered me full and entirely immune to all damage ^^'

All in all, very solid game! I do like the your incorporation of new mechanics to help with resource gain like the rare elites and the crit drop bonus ; they're indirect increases to income and feel interesting and synergistic! It especially feels good to land a critical on a rare resource ^^

Good luck with the development going forward!

Is there any way to download the OST? I really like one of the tracks!

Love it!It's so good and interesting.And the Casual Mode help me lots.However,if this game can extract save file and upload it to the steam ver,it will be better.(Because i don't want to play it all over again......)

Love it, played like 5x now.  But looks like update made it so you can't select druid or knight and can't collect the green items.  

Hi there! I really enjoyed it, I'm looking forward to seeing the full version.

I wrote a short coverage as part of a new collective column on our French videogame website which notably contains a section for interesting Itch projects ;) Enjoy

Loved it! Played for hours and hours to make sure that all skills were purchased. Cant wait for full release. Maybe, I would put an option to hide out o gray out to max skills. I know they change color, but it might be better visual-wise. Just my 2 cents. I was not able to get the "!" mark in Level 2-3, maybe we can get instructions or hints in how to find the character.

Took me about 2.5 hours to complete, was a fun little game thanks :-D

Lol, I just noticed something I read, YOU CAN MOVE?!
I played the entire thing just aiming. 

This game has to be one of the best games i ever played on itch

Delicious game.

Fast Thinking upgrade - potion duratation upgrade is kinda grindy, spent probably 5 forrest runs to get it for 1% benefit.

4h10m to clear the demo. Not enough diamonds to upgrade druid snipe upgrade. But from what i've seen, if the future holds more content and mechanics, then its definately a 10/10 game.

Gj.

Ok, now I've done everything in this game, had all the characters each maxed out.   Some sort of respec or a node that lets you buy diamonds for 100,000 resources each, 10 for wood, 10 for stone, plenty to fill the tree would be nice.   Charge a ton so we don't even think about it before we're basically done, but my first complaint about the pick up, was totally covered by the Druid.  I love that character.  Fully upgraded, the pets still miss occasionally, it's perfect.  I have enough diamonds for 4 of the 5 I use.  I don't use the mage.  I like him, I think he's more powerful than the one I do use.  That penetrating shot is way better than the split one, but split one is more hands off, the way I want to play so I take the punishment and it's good.   It's the way it should be.

We do need some way to sell back or get more diamonds to change our chart either with or without a respec.  Players are too used to this.  Maybe prestige and start over with +5 diamonds?  I don't know how to fix this.  There's lots of ways, but one of them should be used.

@Developer:
I would like an option to turn off the Bloom effects too (or whatever it is that makes things look fuzzy), it somehow makes me feel like I have bad eye-sight (like I have dirt in the eye & need to blink) & that feels uncomfortable.

Good game otherwise.

So I'm attempting to unlock the 5th party slot but I think there's a type of stone I'm missing or something? is it possible? 

I just realised the carpenter is not a chicken, but rather a ginger-haired man with a moustache. 

He's still a chicken in my heart

(Great game!)

how do you unlock the druid? i'm fairly sure he's in zone 2-3, since there's an exclamation mark, but no matter what i do, i can't find him.

Ok, i have 95% of the tree unlocked.  Every diamond collected.   Enough to know the one guy you get at the end does not have enough diamonds to unlock his reduced damage skill.  I have 2 diamonds left, he has 2 skills to get, 1 costs 2 diamonds, one costs 3.     I have to restart to get a third and not spend it elsewhere.
I was totally confused for a long time on the mage being me.    I was looking for a second unlock.  I was looking for the mage.     I saw the other comments, I'm not the only one.  Another problem this caused me was I did not catch on to the basic upgrades applied to every character.  I spent the first couple hours thinking the basic attacks were me, the mage was someone I could not find, so maybe it was bugged?  I went to the comments to find out I'm a retard on not figuring out the mage was me.
I also spent most the game looking for an upgrade that would auto pick up stuff.  Or a companion who does it.  That is trading fire power for convenience like the healer or the resource gathering twit who's gun seems to mostly be there for the get 15 hp per hit cause you get a bunch of them and now he's a good healer too.  He has a gun that now that I have the whole tree practically done, he can kill stuff, but he was seriously behind for a lot of it and that was ok.
Maybe on the mage put the mage (you)  in the chart some place?  Call general damage universal damage to clue us in it affects stuff?   I get that it should be obvious, it changes the party numbers on the top right, but I'm usually buying it in the middle and I have a big wide screen and bad eyesight.  If I could see the numbers, they would be blury and hard for me to read, it's why I use a large monitor.  I hate it, I can't see the corners when I'm looking at the center, but in a reasonable one, I can't read so....   The UI scale here is amazing.  You managed to make everything huge and not in the way.   I love everything about it except the lack of telling me I was the mage.  That was a dumb thing for me to not catch on to.

I think this needs a character whos job it is to pick stuff up so we can go even more hands off idle.  The carpenter is a wonderful guy, but more bounces and more splitting on his stuff in a full release?  Maybe get someone who does aim at stuff in the full release and not random, but his bounces seem awfully targeted.  If you do add a item pick up guy, you will get harassed for an auto restart button too so those of us who like to go afk and let it grind can be happy.  A auto restart last map on death/completion.    And make sure auto pick up guy does not just auto pick up everything.   Maxed out, I'd say shoot for 90%   Let chests spam and super nodes overwhelm the pick up guy.  Get the farthest left object every x seconds.  x can be .01 seconds and get 100 per second.  (not this low, unless I'm way off in how many objects are on screen, but this is an example.  Made sure x lets some things leak, but gets most.  You should always reward active play.)
I played on the browser twice.  the first time, I cleared 2-4 and then the second time, I found out the browser didn't keep my game, so I started over and knowing I'm the mage this time helped so much.  It was this second time that I caught on that general increases applied to everyone, so maybe I'm too dumb to listen to.
Looking at this, I feel stupid admitting some of this, but f it.  I'm 54, I don't care any more.   That's the problems I had with it.  I love this game, it's great.

I love it! This game is something! I sat 4 hours straight playing it. Unfortunately, I did it in browser and after reloading the page my whole progress was gone D:
People talking about where and how to get the next character is a really nice feature. Gameplay is really smooth and progress is really feelable. D@mn, this is good! (add the explosions, please 😁)

OH SHOOT! I SHOULD'VE COPIED THE GAME DATA IN THE CORNER :(

The game becomes unplayable on browser due to the screen not being able to be moved around at all to view the whole upgrade tree..it wont even scroll in or out.   You need to do a regular windows download or Steam download..once again.  There are a few mechanics issues that other developers, making games like this, usually avoid by doing a few things.  For one,  the human brain doesnt work fast enough once you have another party member in and the resources go all over the screen.  Coins, wood, attacks flying...all that, made me have to shut the game down because I have epilepsy, and wanted to avoid a seizure.  I am begging you to show that you respect disabilities and make all auto an option.  Auto aim, auto attack, and auto collect items. Just so people like me can love this game even more.  You have a huge talent. 

 Even for normal brains....it's just is not possible to focus.  You cant collect everything or even a few things on the screen after you beat the first boss and get a new hero.  I have upgraded the magnet etc and still not better.  What you needed to do was to do what is standard in this genre.  Auto aim and auto attack for all heroes...either make it an option or static in the game....and all the resources need to be put in inventory right away.  If there is auto attack and auto aim for all characters....as an option on the skill tree....then its not showing up soon enough.....for how chaotic this game is. Usually see all the auto aim and auto attack or auto gather items type stuff.....early in the skill trees of other games in this genre.   You have to remember that you as the dev know how to play this game. So when a player loves this genre, and is familiar with how this type of game works....its a huge let down to discover the developer has chosen to ignore some of the most basic and standard elements in an incremental game, that are loved by players. This random shooting all over the screen, cant be happening like a tower defense.....due to how much there is to do manually.   You cant combine so much so fast you know.  Please allow us to put it all on auto attack and auto aim, as well as auto collect  if we choose.  I was so stressed I felt like I was gonna cry lol. I do have to say...that this is one of the best games I have ever played...and I had to stop playing after I got the carpenter and all the random stuff started happening that made no sense.   But yea, many people with brain disorders like mine, would appreciate the options menu changes I mentioned, regarding auto attack, auto aim and auto collect all resources.  I hope this doesnt come out sounding rude or upsets you.  I get a lot of really emotional developers who act like babies with posts like mine.  But if you could hear my voice tone....I promise you it would come across as totally bubbly and loving.  Thats just how I am.  I never meet a stranger basically, I am the first one to be a friend, and jump head first into helping.  So maybe we can collaborate together huh? :D

SIDE NOTE ISSUE:

Also there is a huge problem with how you keep giving us  links or whatever for the updates.  LOL I was making my dog hide from me, my screams of NOOO, were so loud.  The link above and others, they dont work Sir Dev.   I even shut down all my firewalls and blockers..made my pc a hackers dream...wide open to all.  It  allowed everything with the unzip and let me get to setup.  But then it gave me the hour glass like a game does before it sets  up or launches, and  did nothing when I clicked the setup.exe. It should have popped up right away.  You need to just let us download it from here please like others do.  Browser is an issue also.  If you right click to move the screen around for the skills, it brings up the browser menu...on any browser I played on btw.  Im almost in tears from frustration Mr. Developer.  You dont wanna make a girl cry do you? Please upload a download for windows the normal way or put a download on Steam.
