2500% is probably a good time to upgrade right? Cause since I’ve hard rest it’s going to be my first upgrade?

So having slept on it and thought it about it, during some Eskom forced quiet time, I have some ideas and this morning seeing @GregRedd 's post kind of helped it along.

I haven’t actually heard about the click farm thing so that’s not cool yes and of course I wouldn’t want to jeopardise anything to do with my account.

This morning I went to go look how a few of my ‘research’ idle games do things.


They have a limited number of ads per day.


They have a timer linked to their ads


They are unlimited but only give you 24hrs worth, but don’t stop you from actually watching forever.


They are unlimited ads for unlimited boosts.

So I was thinking of meeting in the middle then of not having the unlimited and still having the multiplier but when you hit 4x or 5x it stops for limits you. So implementing a limited number of watches per time span, but still having each watch multiply until that limit.

But maybe for now just add a delay timer as that whole system will take time to implement.

Oh yes, 2500% is a very good percentage to upgrade at. I just go for 1000% each time normally.

Small bug just now was working fine an hour ago. The button to increase the amounts you buy from was showing +1 no matter how many times I clicked it. It did adjust the numbers I think

Hello again. An update has been released to the Play Store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=main.idleobs. Leave it to auto update otherwise update directly from the store.

Idle Observatory v0.9.22 changelog:

  • Back Button Navigation - I’ve added in that pressing the back button takes you back to the previous menu where previously it was closing the app on a press. Now the app will only close when the Back button is press while on the Obs home screen.
  • Close button changed to Close X - Removed the bottom close Button as I felt it was cluttering up the display. Adde in a close X in the top right of each menu.
  • Added Trello link to social icons.
  • Added bonus amount to Welcome Back reward - When the Welcome Back reward creates the popup with the thank you and that the bonus has been added it didn’t show any amount, it does now.
  • Change zero production Star Bonus - Fixed the star bonus to not reward zero if there isn’t any production yet.
  • Added ScrollView to About Page.
  • Updated Welcome Screen according to guidelines - Updated the first time playing welcome screen according the guidelines.
  • Added bonus amount to ad bonus button.
  • Added timer delay to ad bonus after watching ad. To be modified later.
  • Screen tap bonus glitch fixed - Found a glitch whereby if you start tapping, especially after a data upgrade, you get a multiplied payout, but then as soon as you buy a tap value upgrade it changes to the calculated value, which maybe smaller at first. Corrected this.
  • Moved +1 +10 etc symbols - Moved the symbol showing the next buy amount, not the multiplier button, in a bit from the right. Added margins as the side menu tab covered it.

Thank you as always for trying out the app and your input. I actively use the Idle Observatory Trello as I work so please go have a look at it if you’re interested. In case you don’t know, anyone is able to comment on all of the items in the trello lists, so give any feedback or ideas.

Thanks again
Entity
