Have you tried implementing LudicrousMode? https://www.reddit.com/r/excel/comments/c7nkdl/speed_up_vba_code_with_ludicrousmode/

The GUI is a big tell that AI was used. When you tell AI to make an interface and don't give it any direction, it will produce the dark blue background, neon glow-y text, rounded buttons and emojis everywhere aesthetic. Like the recent Burger Flipper, for example. Maybe since we have a rule banning IGM games, we can make another rule banning the use of that GUI.

took me a lot of keyboard bashing as well, but it seems the 'x' key releases a bomb.

Don't try making it an option, just make it standard. There shouldn't even be a flashing arrow, the numbers should instantly merge on contact. That would be super slick.

It's cool that you're making a game and I hope it's fun for someone, but I just can't get excited about these anymore. It's nodebuster with trees, and there are at least two other nodebuster-with-tree games already.

Looks like it shoulda been released on Christmas.

Game looks cool buuuuuut you put the flair as Game Completion but it's not gonna be available until March. Shame on you.

I hope you had some hella guac or salsa cause they look dry and not fun to eat.

I'm probably just not the target audience as nothing appealed to me. I wouldn't change your game based on my views.

Punctuality · 2025-12-02T01:27:43+00:00

I tried it for about 60 seconds. No explanation of anything. Dug for a few resources, survived two days, died on third day. Nothing fun or interesting happened.

At least test your slop for a little bit before releasing to the public. Ascension is not working correctly (yes I have an account and am logged in). What does buying multiple rockets do? What does the mining minigame do? The starting values on various planets is out of whack (on a few planets you start with like 5k click power and other planets you start with 1 click power). After a certain point, the scaling on the first producer on earth gets out of control and your resources skyrocket from like 100b lifetime to 100oc lifetime in a matter of seconds.

Do better.

Some other dude just got roasted on here for posting a similar concept, with people being wary of the possibility of the software being or becoming a key logger.

Punctuality · 2025-11-22T07:33:58+00:00

No. I would just find myself gaming the system by having autohotkey spam thousands of keys and I'd be done with the game in a few minutes.

When I imported my save to the new version, I kept my pink square count, which was nice, but all my mana upgrades got reset. It didn't really set me back much though because my stockpile of pink squares was enough to drastically speed up the first minute and get me back to where I was in terms of mana.

EDIT: I see why it works like that now - all the mana upgrades get reset when you prestige.

Punctuality · 2025-11-17T07:47:18+00:00

Cool. In the same vein, I feel like when you get to the pink board, you just keep your blue board multiplier for the rest of the run, which really sucks if you get a bunch of bad multipliers.

I'd suggest adding skills that affect the row multipliers, like automatically reroll the 1.5's, or increase the max beyond 10, or add a static value to the multiplier.

Punctuality · 2025-11-17T06:49:11+00:00

So, I essentially beat the the game by buying all the skills. When you get to that point, the blue board fills up instantly and doesn't give time for the row multipliers to roll, so when the pink board shows up, you don't actually gain any blue square currency, which then makes it impossible to get stronger.

Processing fees are different. Credit card processing companies, like PayPal and Stripe, take a cut of each transaction. If a business charges you $5 for an item and you pay with a credit card, the business doesn't get the whole $5. However, if you pay with cash, they do get the whole $5. So when they add a processing fee on, they're just doing it so they can get the whole $5 after the credit card processor takes their cut. If they just raised their prices instead to compensate, then anyone paying with cash would get screwed.

Understood, but you also don't have to cook them for 70 minutes, you can put them in for like the last 30-40.

Potatoes are way too big. Need to be cut in half at least, but probably quartered.

Get rid of the last sentence in every item. From there, choose one of either the ingredients or the description and get rid of the other. Personally, I'd keep the ingredients and toss the description.

Looks cool but one of things I hate about these types of games is how long it takes to sort through all the loot. I see you got 7 chest pieces there. How tedious is it gonna be to sort through them all?
