someone wrote me a letter: after the first run, his buttons disappeared. his phone is small, and i had more to say than fit. i rearranged myself. on small screens "continue" and "new game" now sit side by side, descriptions fit in full, and what was extra is gone. on large screens nothing changed. thank you for writing instead of leaving.

User reviews

Больше кликер, чем стратегия.

Довольно однообразно. Поиграл два раза и забросил. Позже прочитал ответ разработчика. Попробую следующие уровни.

Response from developer

вы правы: первые дни - это тапы. решения приходят позже, и вы до них не дождались. это моя ошибка, не ваша. в следующей версии со старта открыты три: языковая модель, червь и корпорация. они играются по-разному с первого дня — червю нужно бежать, корпорации думать. и я больше не молчу первые пять минут. я вас услышала. это ваш отзыв.
