Not sure HOW I managed this. Clearly the game was not expecting me to use the slicer in millimeter like this. Kinda crazy. It has been stuck like this for a while, ha ha. I'm still having fun, though!!
That's a fair question since there's a way to mess up your build. But you need to shrink balls and get them to the bottom. That means you can't just put all your towers in the top row.
I was playing the game for two hours and still couldn't afford the final tower, i had all the upgrades for the weapons, so it should've been easier. :(
I did watch someone accidentally hit the back button on a playthrough recently.. but nah, the game is really meant to just be played in a quick 15 min sitting or so and I hadn't planned to update this gamejam version.
the tooltip for prestige could be a bit more clear, it doesn't actually say how much the requirement increases (an increase from 100 to 200 could either be adding 100 or doubling it), otherwise great game!
Great game! I think the splitter is the best weapon. Is it possible that in the future, you can make the rewards for each stage more consistent? ex. "meter" gives 1, "millimeter" gives 100, "micrometer" gives 1000 ec. Because 2 125 777 just seems very inconsistent. Thank you for the game!
Thanks for playing :) Indeed I did kind of cobble those numbers together and eyeball it for balance. So on 1 hand I could tighten up the numbers better, and on the other hand the numbers are also for balance reasons. i.e. the 3rd stage income is quite strong once you get it going, so 1000 would be even faster income.
Splitter seems both very balanced and very unbalanced. While more balls falling to the lower levels is definitely good for economy, it also runs the risk of lacking damage at the 3rd stage since it's the only % damage in this game thus far
i love this game, but there are some things i would change.
- more stages/layers!! make like 5-10 layouts that repeat infinitely, gate it by making not only the stage, but your choice of weapon cost money with the same exponential growth scheme as purchasing the circles. make the income scale linearly. i "beat" the game in like 10 mins and i want more. lol make weapons and stages purchasable via GB, then do away with prestiege. prestiege in this case makes the system very closed and finite.
- the spillter is too easy, obv people want to put that on the lower stages cause increasing the number of balls massively increases your income. 10 way split is kinda OP, but you can say reduce the income of the 10 way split balls by like 75% or something to even it out. thats still much more money than you wouldve got for the one ball, but not as game breaking.
- reduce overall damage by about 90%, but make damage its own scaleable/puchasable trait per layer. this will make the game start slower, but overall that will be a good thing. brings in more "cookie clicker" vibes. you get one layer up and running, and even tho its slow, it generates income that can be used on upper layers, that then increase the drop rate in the lower layers and you get your gameplay loop.
- more weapons, and purchasable clauses to increase income you could add something like a gate to the bottom funnel that only opens when you weigh it down with enough balls/the number of the balls adds to certain amount, and opening the gate will bring you 100x(1^1.{layer number x upgrade level}) income or something would be dope.
then your off to the races, great game, great concept, this will be super fun as a mobile game. thank you for coming to my ted talk.
Thanks for the thorough suggestions! I have not been suggested the latter 2 before and those are interesting ideas. Adding layers to the economy can certainly absorb a lot the money gains that are currently in the game.

Dear god I've NEVER seen this lol. I thought I knew every in and out of the game. Very impressive!
I’m still confused, how do you play and get money? It would be helpful if you put that in the description.
That's a fair question since there's a way to mess up your build. But you need to shrink balls and get them to the bottom. That means you can't just put all your towers in the top row.
Oh, I see. So putting all my shrink rays in top row is not a good idea? Is getting the balls on the bottom how you make money?
I get the idea that you buy weapons and apply those to the balls, but I wasn’t really sure how to make money.
Great game for pc but it you can't see the bottom on mobile
Plz fix that😭😭😭
Thanks I appreciate that :) Unfortunately this version was never really designed to work on mobile, sorry!
What did you make it with? Is it Unity, or just an HTML engine?
Unity
If you’re familiar with Canvas Scalar and anchor points, you can port the game to fit onto mobile.
Although i cant play it ive seen gameplay*
I seen graystillplays YouTube video on this game a while ago and he has a good strategy for making money and also good game very enjoyable
So i cant progress at all
I cant play it on android because im stuck in like 20% of the bottom left screen as my whole screen and i cant zoom out fully
That's probably correct, this game isn't built for a mobile browser unfortunately.
Excited to see the longer version on mobile! Hopefully there's a pay-up-front no-ads version?
I hadn't even planned on ads in the first place but that stuff is always subject to change as the game gets further in development.
good one but i recomend to uptade it to have more stages like 10 or more and more towers and upgrades 4.7/5
Thanks for playing!
no problem (i beat the game in less than 20 minutes so there must be more stages more stuff in shop and a ball bossfight idk)
Gran juego, solo haría falta poder guardar/cargar y poderlo descargar, me gastaría apoyar al proyecto con mano de obra, gran trabajo
Thanks for playing :)
I was playing the game for two hours and still couldn't afford the final tower, i had all the upgrades for the weapons, so it should've been easier. :(
You're doing it wrong then , I managed to complete with the game giving me 10'000's of $ a second in the end
well the final tower doesnt really matter its just how fast you can get all upgrade
but what if you leave the game on and your sis closes the window.
then you gotta start over
why can't you guys make a save feature
Sorry, I don't really touch gamejam games after I submit them. The other reason is that it is quite a short game.
cool game but it takes way too long to get new towers when you get into the late game tho
The 100% completion (rather than just all the upgrades) can definitely take a bit - thanks for playing :)
yea it took me about 2 hours to 100% it
can you please add a save feature now?

came here from dangerously funny's vid btw
I was actually asked about that and I didn't remember which one it was either hahaha. So yes, very valid point.
This game is fun,but its kinda short. I recommend you adding more updates to make the game longer. :D
From the CR king himself, thank you :)
when might a new update happen. this is an amazing game but I feel like it is too short.
I appreciate the words :) tbh I am really not sure at this point since I have a lot to juggle.
hope you like my game (:

yo PeachTreeOath ive just recently updated my game in case you dont want to scroll to my previous comment, heres the link:
https://gnogno123-altacc.itch.io/gnognos-epic-incremental-game
this is a bit similar to Tower Ball by wafflestack studio....
Yes, TB is based on FBF.
sorry for spelling
wil it ever com to Steam
I've debated this but for the sake of simplicity I haven't been targeting Steam in the near future.
so fun
ty!

Great game btw
Ty, I hope to make decisions a bit trickier next time around.
thank you for the game
Thank you for playing!
Thanks for the game, it's fun to play.
Thanks for playing!
Im playing on mobile and its working well ,but is it normal that there is no music ?
(Also can't wait for the full game!)
Yep there is no sound. I always skip that when doing gamejam games just to throw in more content. And thank you!
Oh didint knew this was part of a gamejam
Hi, I don't have a pc, will you be adding a mobile version?
Sorry it'll be a while before that's out.
After 1 Month still no Save Game option?
Nah I don't intend to update this jam version. It's really meant to just be beaten in one sitting since it's a short game.

same
big agree
I may have a obsession
ok, that's pretty innovative lol. Never thought about doing that. Even better if you stack them vertically!
pls make more of this
Thanks for playing!
you should make a one that shoots out spikes.
and it should have rapid fire
I'd expect no less from someone named Sir Pain.
thanks you should make more golden ball upgrades i have over2600
and you should make a funny fecture that you can turn on in sectings that adds blood
and music
lol yea
Thanks for playing!
you can play on mobile rn
That's not my game, unless you literally mean this itch version can be played, which would be surprising!
it is its on itch. Io
This game was honestly so much fun just wish it had more progression !
