    62 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • grinding

  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the optimization in Tironiumtech's games, noting that while there is room for strategic planning, the games are accessible enough to enjoy without it. Recent updates have primarily focused on bug fixes and optimizations rather than introducing new content, leading to some frustration among users who are eager for new species. Overall, the optimization enhances the gameplay experience, but the lack of new features in recent updates has been a point of contention.

    • “Tironiumtech's Idle Tap Zoo and their other game Idle Planet Miner are the most engaging and elegantly designed examples of incremental gaming I have played (and I've tried many). Simple enough to blast through a few minutes, but nuanced enough to benefit from some optimization planning.”
    • “The updates have focused on fixing bugs and optimizations, which shows the developers' commitment to improving the game experience.”
    • “Edit 25 update 1.1.8 did not add 4 new animal species, including polar bear, owl, jaguar, and platypus. It only fixed bugs and optimizations, so it's been about 2 or 3 months now with no new species. The September update only addressed some bugs and optimized things, leaving players waiting for new content.”
    • “There's probably some optimization strategy, but the fact that you can succeed by just winging it is really what I like.”
