Oh, and it would be nice if there would be more information on what the upgrades do. Its demotivating when you save for an upgrade but when you finally buy it it does not what you expect it to do... instead it seems to do nothing.
Like the first upgrade for the auto responders. I expected them to increase their number of responses per second. But nothing on the numbers changed.
I like the idea, but the game seems to break if you let it unattended for some time. Got 10 Queue length and 15 Responders and then let it idle because I was busy. When I came back I hat 40k waiting and after spending all my qualia on upgrades I haven't received any new one from the responders. Only manually clicking answer very slowly gave me qualia. Having to click between 5 and 10 times for one qualia with the next upgrade needing around 500... well this broke the game for me.
Thank you for the feedback, I'll take a look! Do you remember what the Reliability was when you stopped? And was this a tab in the same window, or in another browser window? I have discovered an issue with browsers and the web demo being paused when the tab isn't the focus, so want to clarify if this is something different.
Sorry, I don't know how high it was. At least two digits. And I moved it into its own browser window. Sometimes games here have problems if they are just in another tab so I have the habit of putting them into a new window.
