I've been playing this game for awhile and I really enjoy it! I'm up to the third floor with my parrot, my two seagulls are fishing, and I'm saving up for Evolution 5. But I feel like I've hit a wall. It feels quite impossible to get enough popcorn/seeds/twigs to do anything meaningful. My seed count goes up so slowly I don't think I'll be able to afford any of the desert upgrades anytime soon. Or Evolution 5 for that matter. Is there some crucial thing I'm missing? Or am I just supposed to start AFKing my computer in order to make progess?
bug?: the price for Feather Punch Uncommon Upgrade IV went up 50x in a recent update, was that intentional? it still costs 1000 rare aura but now we have to convert to uncommon first and the ratio for both conversions is 50:1. it was already taking forever to save up so this hurts quite a bit. should it not cost uncommon instead of rare?
Thank you for helping with my issue! (it was a bug related to old save files) I know these can be tricky and appreciate you taking the time to help.
how do you do a Parrot Rebirb?
At the pyramid in the beginning of floor 3
woah! i've been there a bunch and never noticed it. thanks
ive been there in and out clicking on everything but nothing works does my parrot need to be level 100?
Not sure if its a bug or not but when I entered the dungeon the first time the crow told me if I'm strong enough to open it it will help me. I went to the wooden door blocking the entrance and clicked and nothing happend so I left, I powered up a bit and went back multiple times but it seems I'm unable to click on the wooden door/barricade anymore there are random places in the dungeon my cursor changes and if I click there my parrot does a little broken animation but nothing to do with trying to open the door, am I maybe still just trying it too soon? my current skills are all 36 Million and my gear is on the uncommon level where I need 10 rare spirit essence to upgrade
It said that you are not strong enough!
wait floor 9 is already released that early?? (i see it floor 10 but okay and also i unlocked rebirb of parrot now i can see my idea that i suggested thanks hwonze)
Only the 5° floor! Your suggestion of sending seagulls to expedition was implemented! Now you can do that after buying the Seagull Scout upgrade
what does it require bc i dont see it i have a upgrade of fish that requires 500k and 3m i think and i dont really see it i have 100k
Its on the dessert version of the seeds field an upgrade that costs 450.000K gold popcorn it's called Scout Gull
oh i got all the expeditions upgrade but theres some with 5 max upgrades i got one of them but i have not unlocked the 1 skill point per sec of rebirb parrot
there is an Expedition category for fish but i have maxed out rods/bait/tackle/migration10 without finding any. are they in the game?
You need to fish during expeditions to catch them! You can fish by pressing the auto buttom that appears on the bottom right of the screen, when u are close to a pond or body of water
holy cow forreal? i definitely never noticed that
some expedition feedback for polishing:
1) parrot autotargetting often gets screwed up. the parrot will regularly fly to a group of enemies that are within the circle, kill one, fly back to me, then fly back to the same group to kill the rest. this is only inefficient until world3 where with ranged damage it can cause the parrot to throw what would otherwise be a winnable fight.
2) the autotarget circle is inaccurate. especially at corners, enemies that are well within the circle are sometimes treated as if they are not.
3) click-to-move is fiddly. i never land where i actually click but in a randomly(?) chosen position diagonal from where i clicked. this can make it a little frustrating putting the autotarget circle exactly where i want.
is the game gona get a better anti cheat soon???
On steam version
I really like it,
the game is fun for a while everytime I hit one thing another cool thing opened up. really one of the best incremental games I have played and I really, really, like the leaderboard, multiplayer, and dungeon/expeditions.
(Newish player opinion)
the gold popcorn passive upgrade is killing me, I leave the game on for a full day to get 1 upgrade only to find out I still dont have any ability to get passive golden popcorn, I would much rather be pushing dungeon instead so this is annoying me more and more as time goes on. might be worth considering allowing a (if you want) very slow passive golden popcorn gain a lil earlier on, as I feel like I cant continue pushing the dungeon until I have atleast some gold popcorn gain while I am doing it.
i have to agree, the golden popcorn is a real time sink. i notice the only expedition health regen upgrades are in that tree so it needs to be prioritized but it takes forever. i hope there's passive golden popcorn eventually but i haven't found it.
as far as I can tell upon completing everything I can currently see there there is no passive but I am only 4th floor dungeon and I cant be certain something after my current level doesnt give some kinda passive gain
Love this game so much, will you guys be planning a full release on steam?

I just lost 292 HOURS of my work with my parrot after the most recent update! Is there any way I can get that back?? Everything else stayed, but I lost so much time I spent grinding my parrot to an insane level :(
Hey! Expedition got reworked a couple of weeks ago and everybody progress was reseted, but the mechanic changed a lot! Levels dont give Skill Points anymore
hey could u check my suggestion hwonze?
yo hwonze it would be cool if instead of the seagulls staying on bridge they could go to expedition but only after 2 if u get 3 one goes to floor 1 to catch fish and if 4 the other goes to floor 2 to catch aswell and 5th seagull goes to floor 4 to catch fish
i cant figure out how to evolv
you should go to the end of the bridge
Where is the dungeon? I have looked everywhere but I cant find it. Im on evo 4, but it says I need a dungeon key. hel
Bug report: copy invite code doesnt work
Bug report--I was completing daily expedition quests. Ran through Floor 1 and killed boss, when I moved through the portal to Floor 2 I couldn't move at all. Able to click through menus but unable to move the pigeon. Had to refresh the window to resolve it.
i fear i have broken my fishing. was able to get the prism rod skipping some earlier rods. now I'm stuck chasing 96 void serephs on a 0.0016% at best to get the divine rod upgrade. am i locked out of expedition fish until divine rod? I've basically been fishing for the last 24 hrs in expedition water and have caught nothing.
You should buy all the rods before the one you want to get
Bug: selling fish gives nothing, seeds stuck on 0.
Can you give more information on discord ?
Does parrot level do anything? Aside from the SP you get along with experience, it doesn't seem to change damage, health, or regen?
Bug : the black perch fish says its better to use the rod of lizard im brazilian and its a whopping 0.10% or 0.11% to catch it and i need 50 of these for the next rod how am i supposed to catch it if when i downgrade my rod it goes lower but if i upgrade too high it goes lower again
please help im lost bc i cant upgrade my rod
and i cant get the hook that boosts the luck to get the fish required neither so im lost and i cant do anything please help
just keep fishing to lvl up(more luck). the thing required for the hook is a legendary fish. keep up the grind
Opa, se tem que comprar todas as varas, se vc pular alguma delas vc perde o buff que aumenta as chances dos peixes pra próxima vara, pq eles ficam agarrados nessa vara q vc não desbloqueou. Do contrário vc pode tentar usar o Lure amaldiçoado pra diminuir sua sorte e ver se a chance aumenta, mas no geral é um grind complicado mesmo
Found a sprite error the 2nd seagull the one looking to the right side his right leg is more bigger than the other leg
why does that happen? cuz if im far from it or close to it the leg suddenly change sizes to both seagull
that feels odd lol, I'll check
Any chance for an android version?
After launch I'll try to port it to android
i got a question after evolution 5 to save the creature i call him creature cuz i dont know his name is the max floor only 5? bc it says u need floor 9 to rescue him but im at floor 2 so i wanna know if the max amount of floors is only 5 cuz it says when i enter the expedition portal to enter hostile zone
Just 5 floors released! The next ones will follow on next update
Not sure if I’m missing something, but I’m using the Divine Rod and haven’t caught a single one of the new fixed-chance fish, after thousands of attempts. Is this a bug or?
You can catch them on expedition floors
Love the game, but i don't know what to do now. I bought all the available upgrades in the field and when i enter the castle that thing only says "you" and no matter where i walk too or click nothing happens. The arrows to move between zones also dissapear
Thanks for the quick fix (like not even 5 minutes)
I can click something now to progress the dialoge
I'm trying to evolve to EVO IV, and when I attempt to click evolve after filling the bar, the game freezes with the text, "limitless power...." Refreshing or rejoining does not help. please help
Fixed!
are u gonna make evolve 5 update when im at school? cuz u always make updates on time that im at school like i stay mid day at 6 pm and u make updates in that time
it sill only says 1 active when I press feed even though the fish dissapears. also, when i feed the monster nothing happens-- am i doing something wring or is this a glitch?
You only can active 1 fish buff per time, unless you have the 2 fish buffs upgrade unlocked in the sunflower field, you also cant stack them
how do you make fish effects active?
You can press the feed button in the Fish inventory (F key)
ohhh okay tysm!
Bug report: Spending skill points in expedition sometimes uses double the amount of points that you had entered to be spent.
I'm liking the re-working of the expedition, I had really felt like it was a very slow grind previously.
The game is great, however there are some serious optimization issues, this is the only browser game ever that has crashed my PC.
It seems to be something with the audio? when im in expedtions the audio is very delayed, like its only allowed to play a new sound AFTER the previous one has completely finished playing, my game usually slows down a lot when im in expeditions, so much that even though i should be getting 80 million SP an hour i usually only get half of it, due to how low my framerate is.
The 80 mil/H mentioned is when the "counter" under SP is swinging between 80 and 110 mil/H i just assume its the lowest number.
Hey, can you check if you have "use hardware acceleration" on in your browser ?
I use firefox, I had it on the automatically selected "Use reccomended performance settings" I have now unchecked that and hardware acceleration got turned on automatically, will report back in a couple of hours if that helped or not
Thanks for the quick reply!
UPDATE:
Seems to be working significantly better, thanks for the tip.
Also love the new counter for SP per minute, way more accurate now, would love to see if the other counters could get a similar treatment, or at least just average them out instead of having them "bounce" between the same 2 numbers
Love the game and will keep playing, are there any fixes to mobile ui scaling planned soon?
As it's near impossible to do certain interactions on mobile due to UI issues (very difficult to click popcorn/seed/twig upgrades when the floating menu options are in the way always. Can't spend skill points due to not being able to scroll down. Just a couple of examples) Also maybe being able to swap back to mobile mode without needing to export the game and use pc to fix
Great game. Generally mobile is ok but I can't scroll any of the parrot menus.
Ah, all the progress is gone. Neat.
Hey! Sorry about that, but since game is still not fully complete (version beta 0.7.0) there may be resets like this, the expedition was a one time thing, and it should be much more enjoyable now!
oh my wow the graphics improvements and fast travel and evo guy dialogue and- ok wowww
Also, small bug: in chat, the nest shows as 'Dungeon' and the sacrifice room shows as 'Unknown
Just restarted with the hotfix and all my gear disappeared, including chests I hadn't claimed yet!
Hey! The expedition got reworked, so the only status that didnt got a reset was the skill points
fun game, nice mix of idle and clicker.
Waiting for the evo 5 to drop so I can revert the decision I made between either 2x sparrow amount or metabolism boost. I kinda just clicked it without realizing I locked myself out of the other one. It would be nice if it was visually indicated when hovering one, it would show the other being crossed out or something.
what decision? I have been at evo 4 now for a couple of days but i havent seen any decisions?
I love this game! Been playing it for a bit and have been excited for every update. Great work! I like the parrot section and it feels very unique for an idle game.
