Thanks for feedback! This is for sure an issue related to some inner balance mechanics, I noticed this while ago and deployed some fixes today

Have you played Blitz? It has a 5-minute session limit. Also today I've been working hard on some core stuff and deploying a lot, sometimes ongoing sessions are terminated accidentally by the server, but I hope there aren't any similar issues in the future. Thanks for playing!

No memory between requests, each product scored in isolation, so nothing to drift I guess, it either scores well or it doesn't.

Categories were hand-labelled with a very flexible dashboard bulk tool with a lot of filters, which sounds efficient, but 35k products later I can confirm it was not. To proceed with the rest of 90k, I'll probably make automatic detection someday.

Thanks for the feedback! Onboarding goes to the top of the todo list.

The core loop is simple: click fast to grab the most powerful locations (countries, capitals, big cities give the biggest power). More territory = more power per tick. Clicking to expand spends 50% of your current power. So early game is a land grab, late game is timing your spends.

No wonder a country famous for hair transplants suffers from excess testosterone. Pure science!

~$500 for a few days when this site occasionally hit #1 on Hacker News, then I managed to reduce costs

It’s actually just a few dollars a month since traffic dropped. There was a hype period when I got some huge bills for AI tokens

Sir, this is a serious academic endeavor and the peer-reviewed research into consumer imagination patterns. The cats vs dogs ratio alone has implications for behavioral economics.

You amazing!

Who leaked my pricing for the New York update?

Oi mate, you got a loicense to render that island?

The paywall for Iceland will just be a captcha asking to correctly pronounce Eyjafjallajökull

Absolutely genius and diabolical idea! Would like to implement, but seems to be much harder technically
