I think this is a visual bug. Whenever you get the READ/VIRUS you see purple blocks, but then whenever you get TUULI PLASMA you no longer are able to see the purple blocks making it much more difficult to tell which ones have a virus.
Yeah the game is super promising! Even for no tutorial I was able to figure out things as I explored the game. Although the outside the computer stuff I still haven't figured out yet. But overall this game is very eye-catching and just overall the gameplay loop is absolutely super fun! :D
A bit of a QoL request: Once you have everything unlocked except for the 1.5k MEM firmware level unlock, it'd be nice if you could set it to automatically pick that rather than stopping time and waiting for the user to pick the only option available :P
Also: How fleshed out is the lategame stuff? I see the "calendar" to the right seems to be rather WIP, and I'm currently stuck because I can't figure out the door (I'm hoping if I do some of the other gigs I'll be given a resource to guide me on it, though)
thanks for the feedback! everything outside the terminal is very WIP. it might be possible to leave the room right now but the game won't help you much, working on more terminal content to bridge the gap
Where do the "Heroes" come into play? I keep getting them but they're not in my inventory or anything. I'm a bit miffed since I'm losing out on a decent chunk of cash as a result!
I am currently stuck with the last gig being "RequestREQUESTREQUEST" and no new ones showing up. Believe, I need to pass the "Memfault Interrupt" by entering the "Recovery Key", however am at a loss regarding that, too. I keep on hoping to download it and am looking for it in the shop after each run, but with no such luck after many tries. Am I missing something? Any hints?
Just after posting saw Heyitsmartin's comment and the reply. Haven't solved it yet but going to give it a shot… Unexpected new part to the game. Very cool. Liking it :)
Might be worth adjusting the description of the virus to specify it doesn't spread unless you get a few levels put into it, maybe "Spreads throughout a datamass once powerful enough"
It's a matter of depth and luck afaict. I just did plenty of runs to get the "Riches" incentive so I could buy some equipment. The starting stats don't increase any of the cost scaling, plus the faster start is really nice
that sounds like a crash! i'd be happy to check it out if you wanna hop into the discord linked on the title screen. otherwise you might try clearing your save using the button on the title screen
Is there a tutorial? The game opened and I'm stuck. I pressed K in hopes that I could hard reset, but it didn't change the screen or anything. I don't know what to do. I have a gig that says I need cups, but I can't find them and I don't have any money if I could find them.
as far as i can tell the reader gets replaced by it, it does the same damage but across the entire visable area and it's always using the max read rate
This. I was getting about a mil every few seconds, tried to speed that up with block size and it slowed to a massive crawl. at least there needs to be an easy way to reset the game
It is very laggy, I suspect those "signs" that come up whenever you hoover the mouse. Please remove them, or at least put a settings function to remove them, it's obvious what everything does anyway.
Great game! Hooked me instantly and was fun too play and figure out. Wish it was a bit longer, it stopped working for me around $250,000,000,000 crypto
The latest version doesn’t render, shows only a black screen. Console says:
WebGL warning: enableVertexAttribArray: -1 is not a valid `index`. This value probably comes from a getAttribLocation() call, where this return value -1 means that the passed name didn't correspond to an active attribute in the specified program. (main.a82e5041.js:66:7389)

the game has a workaround for this FF issue in windows but it looks like the linux version is more aggressively optimized, which breaks the workaround. i'll look into alternatives
For the most part i agree with Endovior, great concept, but having to reboot every time u get a firmware upgrade really kills the fun in this game. My suggestion would be a "reboot" button so we can buy as many firmware upgrades as we can before rebooting and applying them. that should be easier that creating an entire presitge system.
Resets ought to give a prestige currency that can be spent on prestige upgrades, instead of being a one reset per upgrade thing. Later in the game, your ability to gain prestige currency greatly outstrips your ability to spend it, so you get stuck in a reset loop.
Also, as mentioned, data softening is an anti-upgrade. It doesn't help you do anything except prestige faster, and down that road, you ultimately hit a point where your progression is hard-capped by the maximum rate that new blocks appear. It'd be worthwhile if it reduced the strength of blocks without reducing their reward; as-is, it's so bad that taking more than a couple of levels of it requires you to reset your game.
only thing I could think of that this would benefit from is along with a 1x and 10x buy what about a max buy? I don't know how difficult it would be to code that in cause I can't code but you put that in there and it elevates this to the next level i would say

yeah these things aren't communicated clearly, working on this in the next update!

hey thanks so much! the area outside the computer is still WIP, but i'm hoping to keep that feeling of exploration as it gets more fleshed out
I hope development goes well for you at least, and hey I'll stick around this game as updates come out! You've truly made a super fun game!
Uh, I just discovered you can move around, and let me say, what
I thought this game would all take place in a computer, nope, I was wrong
Oh no... You're wrong. He's still working on it. He wants to give an exploration aspect to that side aswell.

heroes unlock new utilities and utility upgrades, but only a few of them have been implemented so far -- coming soon!
I've gotten a few of them, are they just passive and always running, or do I have to find somewhere to turn them on?
Either way, this is pretty fun! (Although a bit grindy since I'm at the mercy of RNG for the msisions since they all need rare filetypes)
they're permanent passives, glad you're enjoying it so far!

There isn't anything to figure out, to my knowledge. From what has been said in the discord that's the end of the game for now.
Thanks for the info! Wouldn't have though as I have no idea how to get started with Crypto and am still tinkering with Sprinklers, Drones and Viruses.
thanks a lot, we're gonna work even harder on it now! 💪
Cool! Looking forward to your new release
Might be worth adjusting the description of the virus to specify it doesn't spread unless you get a few levels put into it, maybe "Spreads throughout a datamass once powerful enough"
does anyone know how to get secured personal files? I’ve been stuck on that mission for a while
It's a matter of depth and luck afaict. I just did plenty of runs to get the "Riches" incentive so I could buy some equipment. The starting stats don't increase any of the cost scaling, plus the faster start is really nice
i'm currently stuck on the recovery key thing, and have no clue how to get past it
You can move with awsd keys
when will you update ? i'm waiting:-)
i gotchu fam
okay
when i go into dialer and connect to the first bookmark my screen goes black. is this supposed to happen and if so how do i get past this?
that sounds like a crash! i'd be happy to check it out if you wanna hop into the discord linked on the title screen. otherwise you might try clearing your save using the button on the title screen
im not able to join the discord through the title screen the only 2 buttons that work are start and clear save
hmm, how about this link? https://discord.gg/4CsaH5T8xm
Being able to sort shop items by equipment type would be nice.
yeah the shop is a mess, considering how best to address this <3
Is there a tutorial? The game opened and I'm stuck. I pressed K in hopes that I could hard reset, but it didn't change the screen or anything. I don't know what to do. I have a gig that says I need cups, but I can't find them and I don't have any money if I could find them.
open the dialer, select the bookmark on the left and then click the "connect" button on the right. will update soon to help players through that :)
is there a way to wipe my save entirely?(I'm on a chromebook Ifthat helps)
pressing k will hard reset the game :)
man i cheesed this game
hhhhhh??? i exceeded the crypto cap and the bar is just? still going???
same
Been playing this for a while, and was wondering if there was a way to reset progress? Bought too many Data Softeners and it killed the gains. X_X
you can press k to hard reset the game (don't tell anybody)
Thanks for the help. Didn't realize stacking so many of those was a bad idea till it was far too late. ^^
Nice game, but once I found out that all you need to buy is boot sectors, the game was over. Just buy 10 boot sectors and the plasma then wait.
Hello dev, found a little bug on the scraper frequency, the values over 9.9 are not displaying
This game is pretty unique for an incremental game, it's fun to play.
I cant see my reader when i get the plasma reader
as far as i can tell the reader gets replaced by it, it does the same damage but across the entire visable area and it's always using the max read rate
It only does damage to exposed blocks.
wow, what a cool game! I think I missed what happens when you fill the CRYPTO bar though.
here's my final currency count:
not loading
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME IT CRASHED AT $989 MILLION FMLLLLLLLLL
also dont buy too many data softeners. it made it take me like 3 to 4 hours to complete cuz i had it at lvl twenty
This. I was getting about a mil every few seconds, tried to speed that up with block size and it slowed to a massive crawl. at least there needs to be an easy way to reset the game

what is crypto for?
Great game! Hooked me instantly and was fun too play and figure out. Wish it was a bit longer, it stopped working for me around $250,000,000,000 crypto
Beat it, nice game kind of short only lasted me a few hours.
great game
The latest version doesn’t render, shows only a black screen. Console says:
Firefox 84.0.1, OpenGL 4.5 (mesa 20.3.1 on linux)
thanks for the report, checking this out now
edit: this is related to a WebGL issue in firefox which will hopefully be resolved with v85.0 https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/3a105387c502
the game has a workaround for this FF issue in windows but it looks like the linux version is more aggressively optimized, which breaks the workaround. i'll look into alternatives
edit2: can you confirm that this version works for you? https://d2n726ceml0hx8.cloudfront.net/5224550/
Sorry, took a while to get back here. Yeah, that test version works on the same setup. <3
if this continues, try restarting computer
I'd ask for sounds but I think that would explode my computer
PS: oh and I might have broken the game
It's not moving any more...

It'd be worthwhile if it reduced the strength of blocks without reducing their reward; as-is, it's so bad that taking more than a couple of levels of it requires you to reset your game.
Don't buy data softening, it's a trap and makes it take forever to reach the goal.

once you get the plasma reader it gets a little crazy
Good time sink.
