hasn't the fapi mp been coming for years? also do you have to still do an annoying amount of gear micro every prestige or is there a way around that

Well, maybe not years, but ever since game came out a year ago yes. There's a challenge now that takes away randomizing stats on gear, so only the item rating matters, and at 11th ascension your gear doesn't reset anymore when ascending. It's kinda chill when you get to that point.

This level was insane had so many bees and arms everything was in the knot hole and never touched the bank. Was making 10b a minute and reached 8 hours of banked growth and couldn't bank any more.

Next level got blocked with a 12 hour bud timer pretty early so now a waiting game on low income.

Just make a big juggle zone and things should merge up pretty well.

This little setup is basically everything I got got 2 hours and I'm getting decent results.


Basically the two launchers launch them by the butts and if a merge happens they can hit all of their again. I'm actually hitting my pop limit which is breaking this sometimes.

look, when you get 3 babies close to each other they will merge together and evolve into a higher form

I'm surprised they didn't cover this in health class

You unlock a chamber that turns a level 5 baby into a level 1 baby of a different tier

Played through level 6 and I've got some thoughts.
Beyond the insane theming, the core mechanic of Tingus Goose is pretty fun. You are essentially building a Rube Goldberg machine to combine babies, and you have to work around the constraints of the level and the 'blossom' RNG. The blossoms are charmingly batshit and I've enjoyed the wrinkles each new stage adds to the basic mechanics: stuff like ladders you can use or gusts of winds that you must account for.

My nitpicks:
-For this sort of game play, I wish the physics were slightly more deterministic. I'll have a good engine chugging along but oops, something bounced the wrong way and now everything is hosed until :airquote: the line gets flushed out. looking at you, hive drones :argh:

-The in-game help is terrible. It's cool that they're trying to avoid :words: but the blossom info is often completely useless. And while slowly doling out manual pages is a good way to introduce new mechanics, it's dumb to unlock a manual page only to get information I would have to figured out on my first ascension.

-Poop. The bonuses are cool but gently caress having a button you have to hit every 10 seconds for optimal play in an 'idle' game

Rating: Weird Baby Hydra-Bird out of Five.
The basic game play is great but the mechanics could use some tuning; I hope it gets a balance patch.

Random exploit I found: The chamber of immortality fires off a baby when the animation completes no matter what, so if you put it next to your hive you can get a blue baby AND feed the level 5 to the hive

Tingus Goose owns.

Does anybody know if the price in the flower shop ever goes down? THe golden shop that opens up on every level that shows random blossoms you can buy? THey start out crazy cheap but each time you buy it gets more expensive and it doesn't seem to reset even when I super ascended.

I hear this is where the hot Tingus Goose strats are?

At first glance I thought this game was going to suck because they were leaning so hard into the gross imagery. Beyond the insane look (but kinda cute the Tinguses and the little jumping guys are adorable) I actually really enjoy the gameplay. Something about setting up a mousetrap-like contraption to fling these little bastards around and merge them is extremely satisfying. It's really unique and I've found it to be a perfect idler to check on throughout the day as long as nobody is looking over my shoulder.
