Has anyone ever made a game where you start with absurdly small numbers and work your way to doing 1?

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

I have enjoyed Standard sometimes for the sheer ridiculousness in numbers such as sexnonagintillion but...

This one sorta works like that.
You start with a ton of debuffs, and everything rapidly softcaps.

But as you progress, it starts to loosen up:

Heed my words and become a master of the Heart (of Thorns).
Found my old Trimps save.

It said i had 1400 days offline, welp

I grossly misremembered my progress. I was in z319 and had 260 billion Helium.

Trying to do Spire II now, which apparently should be real easy at my helium amount but dudes instantly die in there. Probably something with the AT settings. (max map bonus, 120 min farming). I also respecced perks into fully combat stats and am using Gold upgrades on combat stats.
I kinda wouldn't mind if AT either stopped at 299 and let me try it manually and/or skipped it so i could try it manually later (though since it is a zone in normal progression and not a map i guess you can't save it?)

I've given some thought to re-writing cookie clicker in this format and calling it Honest Clicker.

There's not nearly enough appreciation for SI prefixes, and specifically the Sandcastle Builder / Kittens Game extended SI postfix system. It has novelty down in the small-ish numbers, in the middle you can just count the W's to get an idea of how big the number is, and the postfix suddenly shrinking to a single Q tells you that you're near the end (of a double, at least). (infinity is somewhere around TWWQ)

Meaning Clicker. Your goal is to go from 0 to 1 Meaning through play. Meaning always remains at 0 no matter how big you make other numbers.

Pickle: Inspected.



I like how y'all are throwing around ideas for a new clicker so I wanna reveal that sometime soon I'm gonna do a stream where I try to develop a new clicker game in 1-2 hours. It's 100% a gimmick title which I will reveal on stream (I'll post about it here after) and I look forward to hearing some feedback. I'm... kinda personally hyped to make it.

My suggestion when pushing your highest spire is to stop at the highest available poison zone, in this case you should be able to do it at zone 300 since spire II is a poison one, and climb a few bionic wonderlands. You can at least push up to BW 305 or up to 320 for the extra gear if you need the extra attack and health.

Ok, that is complicated.

Oh and I'm not gonna rebirth for a day just to beat her a few more times, my drop rate with her was better than with the previous zone. Oh and bought pink heart and threw it in the kitty daycare.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

I'm right around the same point. bear in mind that several of the wishes are absolute first action things to get, especially if you're hanging out on that rebirth.

And as you start from literary zero goose liver you never reach endgame or even make any progress at all.

This is to the base rate so with enough +PP% perks/ngus/cards it might as well be.

Picked trimps back up after a long absence and I unlocked U2 and I think I need to grind out a bunch more c2 to really make any progress here which is kind of disheartening, was hoping I could just be done with U1.

All the Trimps talk made me open it up. "You were offline for 710 days and 18 hours", and one of my Trimps got a tattoo while I was gone. I'd be impressed, but I have no idea what I'm doing anymore so it's as good as starting from a blank save.

Uh, recent recent. My Synergism save's been at endgame for the last like six months+. I just was hoping for some new diamond in the rough.

Maybe that one pachinko/beach ball game got updates again?

Just right click the left arrow. It doesn’t let me select it from the drop down either, but right clicking will take you to the safe zone from any other zone. Right click the right arrow to go to the last unlocked zone too.

trip report: it really wears out its welcome post-first-automation, like, I click the button for 100 anions and I need 1500 for an upgrade into 3000 for a full anion reset (which also doesn't seem to inherently give electrons, so it actually slows me back down)

It also bases reset progress off current electrons instead of total electrons, so your reset number goes down if you buy stuff.

I'm halfway to w5x10-max in Synergism, and it's been somewhat of a throwback to being a 7 year old who doesn't really understand video games yet trying to nurse a GameFAQ to get to the end of #<insert_JRPG_here>.

a very peculiar subculture this is, to have collaboratively tried to cram a walkthrough for a not-quite-scrutable game into a chat room
