It runs mostly fine for me now, just that when I reload it shows a white screen. Also the robots shift back and forth for five seconds when they spawn in before attacking and TV static plays whenever I'm in a run( just muted it). I couldn't download the prologue since i'm on linux lol
But otherwise the artstyle is unique but reminds me of Cookie clicker and it fits perfectly into the tech tree incremental genre started by To The Core and Node buster.
Hey! Thanks for the report! When did you run the game for the first time? We have updated it today with a (presumed) fix for that, but if you played it before that may happen.
Go to Settings and Remove Data. That should work :)
One other complaint I have is how slowly cofferoids get destoryed (depsite max upgrades) compared to how many are spawned.
I did see a marked improvement in the game once I unlocked Flow. It feels like that is what I what was supposed to get first but I always get Damage and Magnet upgrades first...
I finished the Prologue and added it to my Steam Wishlist. All the best for your release!
Fun gameplay, good art and music, addictive (just like coffee itself :D) loop, I would even say pretty vibey game! Needs some balance though - laser is very strong, the bombs are ok, but missile launcher felt really underpowered.
LOVED THIS!! This was such a great take on the bullet hell genre and i'm all for the SpaceCorp slander XD
I had such a fun time playing this and I'm so excited to see where it goes with regards to the skill tree, the weapons you can utilize and the enemies you face!
Thought i will play 5 minutes, end up stuck untill beating the game till the end :D Great game, agreed with other commenters: addicting loop, smooth difficulty curve, give us more upgrades end levels pls. (played web version, works smooth for me)
why not have more upgrades? adding more asteroids to the field hurts you, not helps you. fully upgraded magnet has too short of range. multi lasers need to be better, more numerous. more quickly gained (after relevant upgrades)
Hey! This is just a demo/first prototype of the full game. In the full game we will include lots of upgrades, and more levels for current upgrades. Don’t worry, in the full game you will become a space-God ship 🤓
I have seen other people talking about it but the web version is absolutely unplayable, for me, basically 5 fps the whole time. It's kinda nutty I'm on a portable PC but it's not some 2009 potato.
It's a real shame because the game looks really fun but if it plays like this, maybe there shouldn't be a web version, it looks like a fully fleshed out game, I'm sure it would be popular without a broken web version.
Hi! We are really sorry about the performance in some computers. We are trying to improve it a bit, but it’s somewhat tricky for the web version. In most computers it works nice, but in some others don’t, and it doesnt depend only on the computer specs but on browser or other factors.
You can try playing the Windows version, if you don’t like downloading raw things we might upload a Steam demo soon so maybe there you can play it.
Thank you for the reply and I understand the difficulties of trying to adapt a game like this to web.
I use a Chromebook (yes, I know), wich means I am unable to download games (I could but I would have to put my laptop into dev mode and sell my soul to google or something like that) so I will just wait and see if the web version improves.
I've tried. I will admit it runs a bit better, but I'm still lagging an absurd amount to the point the game is unplayable. It happens as soon as I press the button the start the game too, it's absolutely crazy how much lag I experience on a basic menu
Great game. a good amount of challenge. well balanced. i played the whole game. But I'm not a fan of Boss 4 where it shoots in all directions at the same time, u pretty much have to tank the shots to get hits off. Also, this is a bit of nitpick but I think it would be good to have all the resources collected by the player when they kill the boss.

well, i really want to give it a try but in some reason, it is burning my pc
Hey! Have you tried the desktop version? Or only web?
I tried both of it. desktop version still heat up my pc but it is better. so i finished the demo and it is good

there is a bit of lag thought, to the extent I an dodge bullets
Can't wait for the full game. Actually found it difficult to die and not kill the first boss once I had all the upgrades. Well done!
Goty
easy to learn and addictive AF. Very well done!
This is a amazing game wow, like its just fun af. I like games like this so it could be bias but please download this and try it yourself :3
wow this is soo fun, good music and sounds too. definetly an addictive game. congrats!
Super fun. I like the idea of the three different resources, and the branching tech tree.
sometimes the attack bots gltch out when they come in fast
Bit of a possible bug report: Ran the game once, it worked beautifully.
I tried to then refresh and run it again to do a video about it, and it just gives me a white screen :(
I'm on Firefox on Linux.

Thanks for the reply :D I tried it about the time I submitted the report, but I'll mess with it a bit more as soon as I can.
Cool game! :)
Simplesmente INCRIVEL, senti falta de mais upgrades, mas é só o prologo, parabens;
The game has a great feel in general, both in control and feedback.
I really want to see what you have planned for the complete version
This game is super fun, I love it :D
nice game ;) the upgrading is really fun
I really liked this game but I maxed out the Magnet upgrade but it is still way too weak. Seeds also take a few seconds to even react to it. =(
One other complaint I have is how slowly cofferoids get destoryed (depsite max upgrades) compared to how many are spawned.

I finished the Prologue and added it to my Steam Wishlist. All the best for your release!
I love the concept and the mechanics. At first I didn't know how to launch, but after a while everything was clear. Great concept. I envy it.
Responsive controls, nice music, clear and simple gameplay. This game is awesome!
It would be nice if progress were saved.
Hey! Progress should be saved indeed. Are you having problems with that? Web version or desktop version? :)
yes web version edge browser
wth are thoses 1px-whide hitbox when the thing suposed to hit you is 10 time bigger
cool game bte
Fun gameplay, good art and music, addictive (just like coffee itself :D) loop, I would even say pretty vibey game! Needs some balance though - laser is very strong, the bombs are ok, but missile launcher felt really underpowered.
Great game overall!

I had such a fun time playing this and I'm so excited to see where it goes with regards to the skill tree, the weapons you can utilize and the enemies you face!
Great Video, and I agree completely. FUCK SPACECORP
great game !
This is an awsome game! Would love to see more of it ;D
I'm having flashback to Factorio, anyone else?
me neither :D
Great game!! The more you play it the more you get addicted, nice, haha
Thought i will play 5 minutes, end up stuck untill beating the game till the end :D
Great game, agreed with other commenters: addicting loop, smooth difficulty curve, give us more upgrades end levels pls. (played web version, works smooth for me)
Excellent game! Very addicting loop, smooth difficulty curve, and mooody music. Great stuff!

that sounds awesome, looking forward to it
Cause this isn't the final version so they probably didn't think that fully through or smth.
I have seen other people talking about it but the web version is absolutely unplayable, for me, basically 5 fps the whole time. It's kinda nutty I'm on a portable PC but it's not some 2009 potato.

Again, sorry and thanks for the comment! :)

But thanks for the work and good luck!
I tried playing the Windows version as well, and it was still sluggish. :(
The crux of the issue is more in the game itself, rather than where it's being executed in.
What is your screen resolution, if I can ask? :)
1366x768.
Funny game <3
Fun
Best. itch. game. EVER.
Keep going and good luck!
Great game
this is basically en entire demo, great game and hope to play it again on steam soon!
Thanks for playing, happy you like it! :)
it takes 754 mb of memory on browser
I'm on a lower end device so it lags like crazy
Im sorry! Please consider playing the desktop version if possible, it should work better.
We may optimize the web version in the future but its a bit tricky based on how it works!
I've tried. I will admit it runs a bit better, but I'm still lagging an absurd amount to the point the game is unplayable. It happens as soon as I press the button the start the game too, it's absolutely crazy how much lag I experience on a basic menu
You should fix the quality/size
On 4k screens without a powerful GPU it's absolutely unplayable
But when I've switched to 1280p it was fine
genuenly an amzing incemental game!
No save ):

Thanks for the feedback, in the full game the auto-collection at the end will probably be an upgrade, hehe. Have a good day!
