TIME TO POLLUTE THE MOON

Proud to announce that the next upcoming area will be the moon :D
Still a work in progress! I want to release this update as soon as possible

Also pushed a tiny patch yesterday fixing a bug where you had sea area unlocked from the demo that got transferred to the full game

Can't wait to share with you guys much more details soon, please stay tuned!

The best way to extend a citizen's working life is to increase the cost of living which is why i'm doing the same with skills costs and spread better the pacing, playtime (from CHAD to END) went from about 47mn to 58mn (a 11mn total increase!) which brings us closer to the 2h threshold of refunding a steam game

New Skill:

- Shark Thunder: shark now use THUNDER

QoL changes:

- Added hide pollution setting

- Added resolution setting when not fullscreen

- Improved reduced trash animation setting

- Angels go now all the way to the left

- Moved "Add +1 Pipe" skill earlier in the skill tree + cost cheaper

- Flashing effect of thunder lowered

The balance changes:

Super Pollution

• Chad skill from 3m → 4m (+33.3%)

• Dying Dog from 4m → 6.25m (+56.3%)

• Tank from 40m → 66m (+65.0%)

• ??? from 7b → 11b (+57.1%)

Others

• Aura Rats income from 450k → 720k (+60.0%)

• Aura Radius from 900k → 540k (-40.0%)

• Police Speed from 8.5m → 9.5m (+11.8%)

• Police Cooldown from 5m → 43m (+760.0%)

Sea Part

• Sea Area from 18b → 50b (+177.8%)

• Bubblegum Car from 425t → 750t (+76.5%)

• Unlock Seabird from 750b → 1.75t (+133.3%)

• Unlock Fan from 1.3t → 725b (-44.2%)

• Unlock Golden Whale from 5qa → 20qa (+300.0%)

All those changes were aimed to slow down a tiny bit the parts where pacing was too fast

i'd appreciate any feedbacks, also thank you for 2k sales! I'd have never thought we would even reach that milestones, thank you so much for the support.

please stay tuned for the content update

Playtest

I opened a playtest very recently and already 50+ people signed up!

Didn't expected at all this amount of testers willing to help, but I will be shortly closing it soon and will rather run a private playtest directly on my discord.

Some people are only signing up to play the game for free and not really helping with the development, which is why I am cancelling it

About the demo

Theres around 30+ skills and 6 upgrades worth of content. Lasts around 30 minutes, up to 1h max.
Full release will have much more content, with more ways to add pollution like the sea area and super pollutions!

I fixed a few bugs that happened during launch:

• Graphics bug where screen would get ultra contrasted on some machines

• Cpu usage grew over time

If you encountered one of these bugs on launch, please update and let me know if theres any other issues!
