Thanks for playing the game and taking the time to leave a comment. I'll get those descriptions added to the game in the next update. In the meantime I've updated the description on the page to include a brief overview of what each drone does. Cheers!
Love it so far, just wish that the collectors didn't go for the same energy ball all the time, makes the point of having more of them pointless, same for the fighters. Is it possible to make them check if a ball/enemy is not already targeted before going for it?
Pretty good, a few notes: 1. Online saves doesn't work, I lost a game with 100 drones 2. Would be nice to manually target miners, because eventually they spread all across the map, each asteroid is mined by 1-2 drones 3. Some balancing needed: the prices are quite high, enemies are quite greedy, collectors quite stupid (they may all target the same distant orb)
Thanks for playing and taking the time to comment. Currently the saves only track drone upgrades and not drone numbers, so it really more of a feature or rather a lack of one. I think it's a good point though and maybe it would respect the players time better if the game did save that. I did have an early build where the player could select specific targets for their miners but it made some of the other advanced drones redundant and I also feel it took away from the strategy a bit. Balancing does seem to be a sticking point and I do plan to address this by separating the unit costs into their own categories.
only thing i would like is the ability to maybe download the save from the site onto my desktop, but its ok.
plus i would like if the energy that you spend on bots wouldnt increase at this high rate. and maybe even the option to turn enemies off would be nice. and that the collector drones dont all target the same energy orb.
I really appreciate that you took the time to comment and play the game. There is a way to get the save file from the browser version to the downloaded version. Jump into our discord here and in the general chat there's a topic about Heroes of Everfall detailing the steps to transfer over the saves. Just note that currently only drone upgrades are saved but I'll be looking into saving drone counts as well. Energy costs and drone behavior are also something I'll look to address and improve in a future update.
Point and clicking tiny circles to collect them is really bad when dragging the mouse also controls the camera. It's annoying that cost increases are shared between different units also. It makes the game feel very punishing. Auto-collectors are not very smart when it comes to chasing down orbs that end up drifting far away from the collection point. They need to stay close to the miners. Mouse wheel zoom feels horribly slow and clunky. The text gets fuzzy and almost unreadable when you zoom in and out. The music in this game is pretty good except for whatever is played during the intro. I almost turned off the music during the intro, but I'm glad I didn't. This game would be more fun if the orbs weren't so frustratingly hard to click on. I wish there were a magnet and better controls. Upgrades would be greatly appreciated. This game has a ton of potential but needs polish.
Thank you for taking the time to comment and play the game. You make a good point about the ore pickup and camera movement being at odds and I'll look into a better way to accommodating for both. I will address the energy requirements in a future update and probably untether the costs. AI improvements and camera improvements are also on my radar. Thanks again for the suggestions, I really appreciate it.

I have BTAY and OPT and have no idea what these are for. Please add some description into the build info

Thanks for taking the time to comment and playing the game. it's definetly an issue I want to address in a future update.
Great game I really love the concept :)

small and good gameplay.
easy to pick up and play.

other then that, it is good
9.5 out of 10.
