It's just sad how bad it is, that's nor elegant, nor interesting, nor even funny to play those. You didn't make a bad click game, apprentice are ok but still.

This takes away from the sense of progression unfortunately.\r\rBesides them two points, good game"},{"author_name":"H1S2","author_uid":"40166","time":"Aug 29, 2014 @ 8:21pm","epoch":1409343360,"text":"Fun game. Unfortunatly it is not endless. After some time it is impossible to read the cost of your apprentices because the long float values fall in to the next line. And when you play really long you have "infinty" IP and then "NaN".

I've been expecting this to happen tho and of course I will fix it after the compo.\r\r@Pesty I'm aware that the ratios are a bit sloppy and unbalanced. hopefully it will be better in the after compo version. thanks for your comment!\r\r@AnnaGavaldaKedavra maybe you should try a bit gentle while you comment peoples games.
