Balance prices
Good game but make late game basic tech cheaper
Horrible balancing
The point of a good incremental/idle game is for your ability to amass points/wealth/power to increase as the challenges increase. This game does not do that. No improvements scale with the costs, while the increase in costs for each improvement increases exponentially, as the costs increase not with each level, but with fractions of a level. So, you reach a point where you must spend on the order of hundreds of billions of units to improve your earnings by one. Absurd.

Fun for an Hour
Great start to an idle game, but you quickly hit a wall that would take hundreds of days to overcome. There’s no reasonable way to get your beginning tech to 100 so you can unlock the final tier. Just not going to happen anytime soon without buying upgrades and that’s not something I am interested in.

Ancient age
I love idle games especially ones about tech. This game has some potential to be really great and you guys as developers seem to actually know English unlike other developers and somewhat respond to the reviews which is a plus. But like basically every other review for this game to get past 3.5 stars you need to fix the amount of tech upgrades you need to get transportation etc. also when you upgrade something it should go by levels. 1-100 etc. you guys have a weird system where it says you’re upgrading it “ten” times but it really only goes up one level so idk if that’s the problem with not being able to hit 100 easily but it’d definitely help because I haven’t played an idle game that makes you “upgrade” a tech 10 times before it actually hits that next level.

You are a butthole
Fix this man
It’s impossible to reach the last tier in ancient age. Costs end up being way too high. There is no way to earn gold or restart to get higher income like other idle games. It was fun while it lasted.
How
I had no where near 100k when I went afk for like an hour and I came back with 36 quadrillion dollars!! Is that a glitch or what XD
What’s the problem
Twice I’ve had to restart the game because I’d have plenty of birth rate and then Id upgrade a few times and then all of the people vanish and I can’t get them back.
Would be a good game
Currently you cannot advance past ancient age. The last three techs in ancient age are currently impossible to unlock. Techs that would be beneficial like education and tools impact birth rate so severely that it impacts your income, and the techs that do benefit you don’t give you enough to get those last three. Once you hit the billions in points, that’s as far as you can feasibly for.

Not very good.
It’s a little fun at first but some of the required upgrades to advance actually hurt your production. But I had to quit playing when the final 3 techs in the first age had such absurd requirements to unlock. Literally went from a few minutes between unlocks to at least a few days.
The end of the Ancient age is a bit harsh to accomplish.
I’m in the near end of the ancient age, and in terms of overall art, it’s a bit bland and the art isn’t that diverse at all, basically a repeat copy paste on the map. The map that civilization grows on also seems a bit weird to look at. It would also be a bit nicer if I could see roads connecting the buildings, the farms could look more like farms, and the home buildings could be packed together more away from the campfires, and also give the models more variety. It would also be nicer to see features on the map, like height and rivers.
These are just RECOMMENDED ideas for the arts and map.
Here are my thoughts on gameplay:
So the game begins on a pretty slow start, I began by building up enough ‘in-game currency’ and built up on innovation until it became easy enough to also build up on birth rate and lifespan. I find the population growth a bit unrealistic, I expected a bit more of a rapid growth by agriculture, and population doesn’t have much use, as well. I see the the costs of the last techs of the ancient age, and I immediately saw this as a flaw, this slowed down the game a lot. It requires 100 energy for one of the costs of a tech, and I have everything else needed.
100. Energy.
I can’t even level up energy 3 times, i’m at a bit more than energy level 40 , and it costs hundreds of billions, as if getting more production wasn’t already expensive enough. I recommend greatly reducing the cost, In shorter words, the main issue is a lack of use of population, costs are too high, population growth is slow and unrealistic.
I recommend fixing this, and this may attract a bigger audience, because many may not be willing to wait weeks for a high enough in-game currency.

Last 3 in first age
I am at the point we’re I have to get transportation and the other 2 the requirements really need do be decreased 50 of procreation is already 50 billion there is no way I will ever get to 100 to get even one of the techs please decrease or the grind for a few years is not worth it.
Progressing
So with the final items needed you need 100 of the first 3 objects. I’m pretty far in it but was making no where near the money needed to actually benefit my progress. I changed the date in my phone to see how long I’d actually need to play to get everything and it is an insane amount of time. I went to the year 2035 on my phone date while upgrading everything I could every month or so and I’m still not anywhere close enough to getting 100 of any of the first items. It’s ridiculous honestly

What happened?
So, I was doing pretty well on this game and actually starting to like it. I got religion unlocked and went ahead and used it. I was making a bunch of money and started upgrading a whole lot of stuff at the same time and then I stared losing people, they were disappearing fast. Now I have zero people and can’t get them back. Please try to fix this.

Response from developer
Hey, sorry about that. Can you email support@protopiagames.com with some more info so I can try to help out? Some techs lower birth rate and life span, and so decrease your population. Is the game not responding properly, or is your population just stuck at 0?
Needs more to do
Update the game with balancing, more tech, and like all the other idle games a way to restart getting more income per restart
Bug
I upgraded my education and all my people died. 10/10
