Universal Paperclips™ Hack 2.1 + Redeem Codes

(Some spoilers ahead) As far as bugs go my main issue is with how some things just lose you a bunch of progress, like returning to a world. Every time I’ve tried returning to a previous world to reach an artifact easier I end up losing the world I just reached including the artifact even though I already got to it. Another one is with the final Drone/Factory upgrades just not working properly, making phase 2 drag out for a while at the end. I really REALLY hope these bugs get fixed sometime because they’ve caused a lot of inconveniences

I absolutely love this game. A friend of mine who’s a senior developer at Google‘s AI team recommended it to me. There’s always something to do and Real depth to the games mechanics. As a math guy, I’ve had to put genuine thought into the best times to deploy certain resources (I can’t think of another game where I’ve had to use logarithms to optimize my strategy). I am experiencing a bug though. I’ve played through the game maybe 30 or 40 times And on the app I’ve beat it in A little over 45 minutes . I know what I’m doing. In my last play through in stage three, space exploration, I’ve hit a place where I have maybe 20 billion drones and a ton of wire and matter, but when I set my probes to build factories nothing happens. I think this is a bug related to the entertain the swarm bug that you guys said you fixedA little while ago. If youCould have a look at this, I’d really appreciate it.

The game is fun. It’s definitely worth a play through and has lots of clever details. One of the best incremental games I’ve seen.

It eats battery life more than almost any other app I’ve used before. And this is from a game that is almost entirely text-based. The programming is probably not very optimized, and the developers haven’t bothered fixing it I guess.

I do not usually write reviews on games. This game is fine and good and pretty fun. Except for the massive input lag on every button. In addition, there are sections that continuously crush you down because of how the base game engine runs, making it impossible to continue forward if you make even the smallest error, and even if you don’t it may still get you stuck in an impossible loop of frustration and false hope. I am usually savvy with troubleshooting games like this and I know my way around many a wiki forum, this is an unreasonably difficult game, as even with immense amounts of reading and searching for answers I still got stuck in an endless cycle.

I loved this game on the web. The app version was great, but there’s no offline play which is annoying. But I’m particularly irked at the devs not warning in the release notes for the upgrade that it would requires full reset, which has cost me over a year of play. This game also darts battery power like mad sine you have to have it running and awake to make any progress. I’d have held off on the upgrade (which so far I see no difference) until I finished the game I was on, since I was pretty near the end.

4 stars with more player consideration. 5 with off line play.

Would recommend the game.

Some small bugs
- Clicking “activate” on an already activated artifact (possible if you have just opened the app sometimes) gives you a bunch of red error text over the screen. The only way to get rid of it is to restart the app.
- There’s a button to turn on and off sound. There is no sound. Not sure why that button is there.

This game is quite engaging, and the addition of artifacts has significantly increased the replayability . That said, there appears to be a significant bug after the first play through in that some upgrades that are supposed to give exponential growth are instead only giving linear growth. For instance with the final factory upgrade in the second phase, I have 200 factories making 2.75 septillion clips a second. Using 5 octillion inches of wire is going to take 1500 seconds. This is a long time to spend in the very end of phase 2 and kinda ruins the pacing.

This is by far the best incremental game out there. I had heard of it but not played it until iOS. It’s not mindless, you have to think about your choices, but it’s not stressful either.

I love that it saves progress at all times and is easy to play a few minutes here and there when you have time. You can always make some progress. I’ve seen that some people would like offline progress, but I think I prefer it the way it is now. So if they add offline progress, I hope it’s as an option only.

I also appreciate the fair price with no ads or IAP, and I love the minimalistic design of the game too.

This is the way games should be done. Thank you developers!

Two features that seem like the bare minimum for an idle game are just completely missing. A developer response indicated work on an offline mode to be released “in the next few weeks” as of.. a year ago.

It’s a very fun and engaging game on browser, and this is just the browser version kinda fit to a phone screen. If you really want it mobile, this is it, but there are better mobile idle games.

Played the web version a few times and decided to pull the trigger on this once I saw the recent positive reviews. It works great on my phone, but I’d love to see a couple of improvements.

1) Cloud save or sync to other iOS devices. Would love to carry progress to my iPad. Which brings me to…

2) Allow the iPad to show more on the screen than what you normally get on the phone. Everything is just bigger and you still have to scroll back and forth. Such a waste of real estate. The font is absolutely huge on a 12.9” iPad.

Love the artifact additions. Definitely adds to the experience.
