hey sorry about that, unfortunately import/export is blocked on itch. the version available in the discord supports import/export, if you can access your browser's localstorage you can find your save data under the "dmsave" key and import it into the discord version
we've run into similar problems on certain devices or networks, would you mind sharing more details in the troubleshooting channel on our discord server?
Hey! I've been playing this game for a while, and once I beat it I started to mess with the code. I was just wondering if I could maybe get my hands on an unminimized version, as that would probably make it a lot easier to mess around with some stuff! If not, that's totally fine, but I would really appreciate it if I could!
Also, where would i find the code for making the particle explosions when a block dies? I'm trying to minimize lag (because I'm setting other values way too high).
hey glad you're enjoying it :) pre-release builds are shared in the #releases channel in discord, i'm not formally releasing the source but i might drop an un-minified build there if you'd like to check it out
I'm not sure if it's a browser thing or a low-end thing, but I've noticed that my low-end keeps freezing just after the first file finishes downloading :/ Like the appartment redesign though :)
I'm not sure Depth Diver is working. I noticed I wasn't really gaining xp that fast even though I had used it and was clearing rows quickly, and when I checked, sure enough, I wasn't gaining xp when a row was cleared.
I completely forgot about this game over the summer, I'm glad to see that it's still going. Loving the new balance changes so far, it makes the early game a lot more fun as opposed to constantly doing runs that give you a little bit of nothing.
I like the idea of the game, but it becomes a slog very quickly, I don't know if I've reached the end of the 'story' or what, I got the Kit injector long ago, but everything just takes forever now, I'm thinking it's because things aren't explained very well, I don't really know how what the upgrades do, or what to do next if I'm doing the right thing
Prioritise getting the Arc Scraper (get the consumable if you can afford it) and Plasma, and their upgrades. Order of priority if you want things to go quicker
Plasma > Scraper > Demux > Drone > Reader
The Depth Diver consumable will also help. You typically won't need more than 30 cooling ever, and coherence rapidly drops off in use after 20. Security at 20 will do for most of the game, and effectivelty maxes at 50. Clock speed you can effectively max at 30,uplink goes up forever and affects literally everything.
I wonder if there is way to enlarge kit storage.. and what is this weird glitch upgrade keep showing, after downloading special pdf for the job? is my venus trying to enter sentience? this upgrade have any meaning?
sorry to hear that! save data is kept in your browser's local storage, you might lose progress from clearing your browser cache, changing browsers or changing computers
If you use Liquid Cache and Liquid Bit Converter you can really wreck house! Had the crash issue like Agnostic mentioned with the green circles. I'll look for the version on discord. Interesting game, keeps me coming back.
I like how the new update adds a somewhat tutorial to ease the player into how the game works, great additions especially with the balance changes! The game is really coming together quite well!
Although there is one thing particular I would hope to be added, just something small. If you can't buy any more of the upgrades during the datamining process it can be annoying because you're forced to wait for the EXP bar to fill up and once it does you'll most likely not get the double memory upgrade. It would just be nice if it can pop up under the circumstance that the upgrade prices surpass your max amount of memory.
Is there a way to expand the size of the kit? Sometimes my runs are cut short because of too many files. I think being able to upgrade the kit would be nice!
there are special items that expand the size of the kit, it takes a while to get them though! in the meantime, you can delete unnecessary files from your kit during a run to avoid the detection penalty
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.

This game is pretty unique for an incremental game, it's fun to play.
when i try to save i get this error:
what do i need to do
hey sorry about that, unfortunately import/export is blocked on itch. the version available in the discord supports import/export, if you can access your browser's localstorage you can find your save data under the "dmsave" key and import it into the discord version
i maybe have a fix
put the text in a box you can manually copy and paste in a text file
hi, i like the game, but everytime i play the game (already tried on chrome, edge, opera, and firefox) always show page crashes
we've run into similar problems on certain devices or networks, would you mind sharing more details in the troubleshooting channel on our discord server?
Hi, i just share the details about problem that i got while playing this game.
I hope that my sharing still helps you for fixing the game

searching "deaths:" in the minified source should get you there, it's a function of the current time + a list of recent block deaths
planning to add a toggle to disable these particles + the damage numbers :)

I can step back?!

Tbh, I prioritize Drone > Scraper > Plasma > Reader > Demux
In my experience the demux takes forever to upgrade to a point where it's viable compared to the others that grow rapidly, for example:
I wonder if there is way to enlarge kit storage.. and what is this weird glitch upgrade keep showing, after downloading special pdf for the job? is my venus trying to enter sentience? this upgrade have any meaning?
wait.. nvm. I can get beta kit as reward from quest.
Jesus, recent visual updates and system tweaks are insane. death stranding vibe is great too. you guys rocks.
all my progress is gone. :(
sorry to hear that! save data is kept in your browser's local storage, you might lose progress from clearing your browser cache, changing browsers or changing computers
WHY IS IT SO HARD TO GET SECURED PERSONAL FILES I HAVE BEEN GRINDING FOR AN HOUR WITH NO LUCK.
Most recent version won't run on my browser
aw bummer! at least one other person has this issue too, would you mind hopping in the discord so we can investigate?
What's the discord link? after I am done running errands I would be more than willing to jump in. The link within the game doesn't work....
great, here's an invite link https://discord.gg/4CsaH5T8xm
If you use Liquid Cache and Liquid Bit Converter you can really wreck house! Had the crash issue like Agnostic mentioned with the green circles. I'll look for the version on discord. Interesting game, keeps me coming back.
The levels where the green circles start to appear always seem to crash the run. My runs get cut short without the reward
sorry about that :( this has been fixed in a new pre-release version posted in the discord, feel free to give that a try!
Oh no worries, it's a really fun game and Im constantly coming back to this game. Looking forward to see more!
Is there an alternative discord link? The one in the title screen is invalid
I like how the new update adds a somewhat tutorial to ease the player into how the game works, great additions especially with the balance changes! The game is really coming together quite well!

It would just be nice if it can pop up under the circumstance that the upgrade prices surpass your max amount of memory.
thanks so much! i feel that annoyance with the memory cap, i'm hoping to improve that experience one way or another in upcoming patches
i cant even play its just a black screen
hey there, i'd be happy to dig into this issue with you if you could jump in the discord server here: https://discord.gg/4CsaH5T8xm
Maybe the game is loading, because when you hit run its black for a few seconds and THEN loads.
Is there a way to expand the size of the kit? Sometimes my runs are cut short because of too many files. I think being able to upgrade the kit would be nice!
there are special items that expand the size of the kit, it takes a while to get them though! in the meantime, you can delete unnecessary files from your kit during a run to avoid the detection penalty
Ah ok, thank you!
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 these things aren't communicated clearly, working on this in the next update!
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
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.
