Awesome progress! I was thinking about this just the other day. Seeing as it’s built on a new engine now, is it compatible with iOS now? I haven’t had an Android device in quite some time now and will want to check it out again.

Not yet, but that’s my next thing to do. I just want to get this next big update out and then get it on ios before continuing with the rest. The business has the money to pay the Apple developer subscription and the codebase may just need a few tweaks to build for ios, so hopefully it shouldn’t be too bad to get it on there.

Yay! So glad to see this post. I noticed the changes to your Discord a while back and was wondering when you’d get back to updating things here. I guess I’ll be updating my old Bluestack installation and getting back to playing. :grinning:

Thank you for the “Thank You” object offer! I want mine to be a very valuable super rare gas giant planet - because I’m super rare, very large, and full of gas! :laughing:

2: Any gas planet type image you want that works, if it can turn red once found even better.

Good to see the Obs is back. Will have to think about an Object and get back to you.

Does this also mean I should uninstall the old version (and loose my stats :frowning:)

First question on the new version: Where is the exit button? Android back button does nothing.

Need an ELI5 breakdown of Upgrades please. Either I can’t remember squat about them, or they’ve completely changed since the before times.

What are the icons showing me? What’s the impact of each of the three options? Is there a ceiling to any of them? Is there a basic strategy that should be used to get the best result?

I’ll add your Gredd to the list.

Regarding the upgrades, yes all new. Depends how you want to play. Stars get you prestige. Money gets you observatories. Reduce cost just reduces cost.

@Nimatek :+1:

@FarligOpptreden Got it. Thanks

@DarkStar You should be able to add them both. I’ll look at the back button issue. Thanks.

@Ani :raised_hands:

@Wyvern Thanks. I’ll add it to the list

Yeah awesome to hear @Entity and mad kudos. That’s a big win.

I will also eagerly anticipate an iOS release.

Been thinking about an object name for me and guess there is only one obvious choice.

Name: DarkStar
Picture: A black hole in empty space, maybe with light spiralling into it.
Probability: 1 in 200

Please stop me if i’m being too metaphorical/blowing smoke up my ass.

  1. spirale de la Mottamort
    (death spiral in french but Mottamort instead of mort)
  2. picture of a planet being consumed by a star due to decayed orbit (or anything else related to a death spiral in astrology)
  3. 1 in 250? or any number that is far enough away from the others picked first.
  4. Multiplier 47

Thank you for the potential inclusion in your game! :slight_smile:

Could we report bugs/issues here?
I’ma go ahead anyway. It seems either I don’t understand the cost upgrade, or it is not working as intended. I get it to -100% pretty quick…then i can buy more but its essentially a hole. i dont see costs going down any further (it also stays at -100%). Dunno if that needs to then get greyed out if its maxxed or if i’m missing a mechanic (day 1 player)

EDIT- NVM I DID NOT EVEN KNOW ITS -COST FOR INDIVIDUAL BUYS. altho it staying at -100% is still weird :smiley:

We just watched both Bladerunners over the weekend (my wife hadn’t seen) and the music is quite similar in its peacefulness/eeriness hehehe

It also seemed to crash when the screen went off while open on my phone while i was typing this. :o
