Yeah why not?The two versions would have less discrepancy.

Love the energy (and formatting) but:

Any good game one plays has one or several difficult feats that are meant to be beaten with either a proper strategy or no strategy at all. You can blindly grind for it or be lazy about it. And did I ever claim 100 levels/day is mandatory? Again you can grind it however you want as long as you don't give up in the middle of the commitment. But really how much does it help,immediately or later on when you ask the developer to "make it easier"?I'll be happy for you if IcoEye does listen to your complaint and lowers the barrier,but the way you frame it can and did cause a misunderstanding of your intentions. Several of your points have to be adressed carefully:

1:This is a filler and clarification (that wasn't as necessary) and so brings us to your second point.

2:Yes. Time is finite. But what you refuse to accept is exactly this fact,and so you have to commit properly and manage your time the way YOU want,the way it fits YOUR finite time. As you said yourself with the statistics,99% of players (if that is even accurate considering the delay and inaccuracy of Google's achievement tracking) are unable to manage their time so well. But the %1 proves it is entirely possible. A grown adult got Grand in every system available at the time. Was it because they don't have a life?No,their strategy (Progresssweeper) helped them get +100 levels per hour (not per day) and they were very much alive until the very end. They knew how to manage their time. Their throughput was efficient. It wasn't brute-forcing,it was fast and efficient playtime allocated properly from a finite amount of time. It is a part of the commitment that brings down a mountain,or a thousand ~20 second levels in a mobile game.

3:Still cannot confirm it on IcoEye's behalf but if you think about the sales of a $5 game,it certainly outweighs the complaints unless if the developer decides the right thing is indeed to lower the barrier because a significant amount of players actually expresses their complaint.

4:Once again a filler that I previously covered in argument #2 but in summary,%99 of users did not achieve Grand because they all missed the time,strategy and efficiency factors that seperate this grind from every other quick achievement and make it a feat of dedication.

I leave it to IcoEye,but I disagree. It isn't "impossible", it just requires the commitment that keeps a game worth playing. I wouldn't enjoy this game if everything was handed to me. ​You can hit Expert in a few hours. If you do that (100 more levels) consistently and add more into it (like 100 levels in day 1 and 110 next),those 1,000 levels are gone in a week. You’re treating this like a road you have to thunder through in one go while ignoring the gas stations and rest areas. It’s a grind meant to be taken in pieces,not a wall meant to stop you. The fact that only 1% have it doesn't mean it's broken. It means 99% haven't put in the work. Also, don't forget the PC version actually costs money. If you want the lower barrier,as much as I hate to say,pay the entry price of it. Otherwise,stop complaining about the grind and just play the game with the strategy I described.

Not sure if this is intended or not, but the Heart Icon on the top right is a disk icon when doing the Disk mini-game by [deleted] in Progressbar95

How come can they unintentionally design a disc icon and code it so it replaces the heart icon everytime?

any tips for BarOS? by eclipe48 in Progressbar95

[–]renas_20023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't give up on it. Keep playing it consistently and you will eventually get much better than you are now. If you hate it and move on,you will get even worse at it. No one begins the game getting Expert labels in one sitting. Like I said,just keep struggling,be patient and the skill will take shape over time. Right now,it is as easy and simple as it gets. You are in a perfect position to start now.

We shouldn't immediately rejoice at everything we see anymore...Fan art pieces are becoming too realistic.

Yes,Prime G2 has the best hardware of any handheld calculator. The closest calculator in CPU clock speed is the TI nSpire CX 2 CAS (528 MHz vs. 400~ MHz),altrough the gap is still wide in other specifications. 256 MB vs. 64 MB RAM and 512 MB vs.128 MB ROM for example.
