I started playing on my nexus and now, with over 60 villagers, I'd like to move my game on the pc. Anyway I could export my game state?
Copy paste the game state from localstorage.

#102It seems to run on Chrome but not on Firefox. If that is on purpose, it should be clearly stated as such at the beginning.
I've been playing it for a week in Firefox, no problems.

#105I played this to completion a week ago. It can feel a little tedious st times, but this is usually because I missed something, and is ultimately well written at all stages. Keep with it and you won't be disappointed!
How does it end. I have the spaceship, but I need to go to bed.
you're nearly done, you just want to upgrade it with the alien alloy you found in the bore sites

#106Is there any other way to share the game state than copying the local storage? Even though I use Chromium with linked Google accounts between Windows and Ubuntu, it does not save local storage data. And that is not even possible on an iPad, for an example.

#107I'm having a serious problem later on in the game when I have four different options on the screen during a fight. The hover resource-display obscures the action button and reduces the clickable area to a tiny sliver. I'm losing battles that I should be winning, a lot.
Yes, this was annoying enough that I eventually stopped. Two suggestions:
1) Add keyboard shortcuts, make them discoverable via an underlined character
2) increase the amount of space between the buttons so the tooltips appear over whitespace.
That said, I played for hours before giving up! Had tons of fun, thanks for making this!

#109The style of a minimalist interface that starts sprouting things, somewhat ASCII-game-ish yet also rather dynamic, reminds me a bit of Candy Box: http://candies.aniwey.net/ . It's an interesting UI and 'reveal' style for a game, and glad to see another one using it. Feels somewhat refreshing. edit: Ah ok, if you view-source it mentions Candy Box as an inspiration.
And Frog Fractions is worth checking out if you like Candy Box.

#110Stroke fire takes too long. After waiting for the first one and getting a second wait, I quit. You should make it faster until you have acclimated the user to the slow pace.
