How is this different from the free prototype?

[hughie522]

I'm still deciding whether or not to spend my filthy lucre on it :P.

Hey dude!

It's the prototype plus more — after the 'ending' of the prototype, the Word Outputter catches onto a new lead to get home, eventually leading to a second ending.

The 'extended' game adds a new mechanic to mix things up a bit, as you travel across 4 planets following the Word Outputter's instructions.

There have also been balance changes & new research added to the first portion of the game, including a multiplier to add incentive to use the Kinetigen in the late-game.

On top of that, more polish & all in sweet, sweet 3D!

& it's in 11 languages if that's your kinda thing.

If you spend your filthy, filthy lucre on it then I hope you enjoy it!

Best,
Jake

Thanks, Jake! I loved the prototype (the humour was spot on!) so you can count on my filthy, filthy lucre :P.

you have my filthy lucre! - are there achievements?

[:RuneScapeguy:]

So how much longer this game is? i was kinda bummed finishing the first one so quick

@Menin Gate
Not currently. I might add some soon if I feel they'll add anything to the experience.

@Ocean Man
Based on testing I'd estimate that however long the original took you to play, this will take you about twice as long.

I'm quite sure they will add to the experience and your $ bank account!

Just what I was wondering, got withdrawl symptoms when this disappeared from Kong, although I got a link to the site afterward. I enjoyed it enough then to pay a buck, so if it's twice as long, I'll pay 2!

P.S. If you add chievos, make them really odd, not just milestones. Like click a button you can't afford 50 times or something.

Oh I have some ideas for weird & stupid achievements, don't you worry.
Although also, totally open to suggestions for ridiculous achievements. It's an easy game — perhaps the achievements should be hard ;).

[Chris Fifty-Two]

As you have the game tagged with achievements on the store page you should add them for sure. Go for a mix of stuff. Some unexpected, some easy, a bunch of hard ones and of course some weird stuff.

[JakeThePog]

I have no idea why it shows that on the store — I've got achievements disabled in the store settings. I notice that it doesn't say the game has cloud saves, but it does!

[AuburnRDM]

I'd also be very interested in seeing achievements added to this! I absolutely loved the prototype and would quite enjoy chasing some fun achievements.

[MuckPie]

Totally agree on the achievement front! They're fun goals to work towards, especially in clicker games.

[lylat]

Another vote for achievements, make it happen, dev :P

please make a prestiege system, i would have loved to play this for at least 2 weeks if not more, it was so good, had a kind of "HHGTTG" feel to it, loved the humor, heck loved the whole game, but yeah it needs to be longer much much longer, just implement what u already have in the storyline, infinite parallel universis, heck u could even add a new view to the viewer to be city/world view and setup land based stuff, that would be freaking sweet!!!!

I'd personally prefer it to remain a concise and well thought out experience. There are plenty of other idle games that you can play if you want to do the same content over and over.
