Your production pretty much grinds to a bloody halt if you leave it idling, it's all about getting those kitties and keeping your ninjas from getting unstealthed(does this need a spoiler? meh)
It was doing quite well. Progress was so slow that I was already wondering how anyone could ever get any enjoyment out of it, but at least it wasn't doing any harm running in the background. I checked it now and then, grabbed kitties when I saw them. My production was up around 200k per click, which seemed good, and I was getting a few thousand castles each time around. The bots produced 126 castles each and I had 20 of them. I was finally starting to feel like I was making actual progress.
Now I'm set back a fucking WEEK. And for no apparent reason that I can see. The layout is hideous, and after the game lost my save, there is no way in hell I'm putting in effort to make the screen look the way it did before, which was fine.
I feel like this "game" is just a giant practical joke, a way of getting people to waste their lives staring at a screen while literally nothing happens 99% of the time, plus a huge bonus FUCK YOU to anyone who actually has better things to do. I lost a WEEK. I lost count of how many kitties I got in that time, how many minutes I spent clicking during blitzing to bring the rivers castle destroying rate down. And after all that, it was just on the edge of starting to be fun, I had just unlocked the glassmaking boost and was saving up enough castles to buy it, when the fucking thing just said "nevermind, I'm taking it all back, sucks to be you." I'm not fucking doing it again.
