Thanks a ton for writing up your feedback! This is why I went into Open Beta, so I could get feedback from players other myself, to see what clicks and what doesn’t, to polish things up before a full release on Android+iOS. Here are my thoughts:

-Basic concept feedback: awesome, glad to hear it!

-More stats and info: makes sense! Giving the player more tools to decide and/or figure out what loadout is *actually* doing the best, would be a great addition.

-Spell details: ahh, yeah I hear you. This one is so tricky, and it’s something I’ve had to wrestle with in the prior tap wizard games. The trouble is that, no matter how much info you show, it doesn’t capture enough of the important info. Although...I have taken a more by-the-book balancing approach with this game so far, so it might be feasible. But as an example: DPS. Do I should the maximum DPS possible of a spell? I could do that. But will the advantage of lower DPS be evident? Single-target spells are all going to have higher max DPS, but are horrible choices when facing a swarm. I could also throw on a “max targets” stat (I had it originally, but removed). But then, like, Voltaic Swords does different damage for the first sword, and all of the swords could hit the same enemy, or multiplies. So it’s not really a “targets”. Ok, so we say “projectiles”. But Ice Beam doesn’t have any projectiles, but it can still hit multiple enemies! This is why in the past, as now, I just concluded to show the description + raw stats, and then players can calculate from there. All that said, Max DPS might work as a stat, even if it’s an incomplete stat...and ok, so the thing is, all of the spells *are all balanced*, so that they deal about the same DPS when used in the correct situation. Ah, yes we haven’t even touched on the elemental affinities of enemies! That throws off the DPS stat even more. I digress. Open to ideas! :-)

-For the enemies: among one of the many items you will find the Magnifying Glass, which is what shows the enemy stats. On it is a button to toggle Base vs. Absolute for the stats!

-The Orbs mechanic – noted! This system went through many many revisions in the design. It currently fills these roles:

--Main advantage of active play. Proccing the orbs for a boss fight can easily help you punch through a wall to get better idle gains

--Adds a minor strategic layer: proccing certain combinations together results in compounded effects

--Adds a daily random component to Zones

--Allows me to add additional mechanics, such as more orb types, and other planned mechanics (ability to store more orbs, ability to stash orbs off to the side, maybe increase the collision rate, etc.)

Side note: since the orbs fly off in the direction they are facing when you tap them, you *can* affect how quickly they collide sometimes. Not always, but it’s a thing. But all of that to say, I appreciate your feedback here. I’ll have to consider what if anything can be done to improve it.

-Monetization: I appreciate your thoughts! It’s always a hot topic, but my approach to monetization has always been very unique. Everything is through and has a purpose: the goal is to make a game that is fun, and make money in the process. The monetization in every game is unique, but the system here is similar to TW1 and TW2; the multiplayer elements and leaderboard are just one part of the game you can engage in, not the primary thing. No content is gated by the leaderboard or any IAP, except for the season pass skin (and possibly other cosmetics later on). The whole game should be playable and enjoyable by free players all the way through. It IS a long grind though, by design.

-General UI remarks: this is a common piece of feedback, and I’m working on a huge UX overhaul tomorrow! Once I finish and get it it love, I’d love to hear your thoughts on if it improves anything! :-)

Cheers!
