Made it to 1032 points at loop #48 before the game got too laggy. gotta love the quadratic ant equation, at this point every new ant brings two tigers worth of income with it.
what's with that picture of all those animal that aren't in the game?
This game is genuinely super fun!! surprisingly more addicting than I was expecting :0 the graphics are really clean and nice, and the interactions makes for excellent strategy opportunities and replayability :D one thing I am confused about is what exactly the lose state is? I can't seem to figure it out- I feel like I just keep losing randomly even while I have creatures and leaves left >.<
still very fun though- I only stopped to write this comment and now I'm gonna go back to playing :D
ok nvm figured it out!! tis when you fail to meet the goal for the cycle, seems obvious in hindsight :p
anyway i uh...i think i could go forever atp
And there's still bits i can improve on!! the chicken/ant layout on the bottom left could do with another wolf for the egg, or a fox+tiger combo. there's worms by the snakes that need to be eaten, and i never did use that chicken at the top! (though i realised too late it was mostly useless there, as the snakes were already cashed in by the time the cycle gets there. could've still had the egg eaten, but ah well)
it actually got to the point the music started distorting pretty bad sjkdhfdkjg i think i went too far- but yeah this was super super fun, excellent game :D
You can speed up the loops by pressing the loop button while running.
Very Fun
It looks really interesting, keep UP Good work.
found a bug! if you grab a animal from the shop and then reroll, you'll keep the animal even if you don't have enough! and then you can buy it and go into debt.
That's not a bug it's a feature, to symbolize Ecological debt.
(Thanks for reporting it ;D )
You're welcome for... ...me showing my love for this wondrous feature!
Current world record : 40 (I had 2000 points at the end and decided to stop because it took 25min to do a single loop)
