Sorry for the delayed response. I completed the current content and then wanted to go back to replay the game with the knowledge of where it was going.

I agree that the third layer should be reworked. It feels like it is replacing everything from the second layer with something that is almost identical and doesn't feel very satisfying or new. I wish I had some ideas for you, but unfortunately I don't.

Playing through the game again I remember that the Goddess raids need some tweaking as well. Easy and Normal seem pretty good, and when you get to Hard you're flying through them with like 1 second battles. Then once you get to Extreme everything comes to a screeching halt, and I had to stop playing on my second playthrough because it was taking too long. Each battle is >1hr, and progress isn't made unless the tab is active, even with the Providence upgrade in the blue skill tree. I confess I'm playing this game at work, and I can't leave the game open front and center on my screen for hours at a time to get through the raids. I think when I played through the first time I actually took my work computer home and left it running overnight to get through the raids.

Thanks for fixing the auto expedite, that has sped the game up considerably (but not too much). The actual boss battles still do not work offline (i.e. while defeating them five times to unlock auto expedite), but now with offline expedite active I could see that as possibly being a choice rather than a bug. Just go offline for a bit, rebirth, then the time to defeat the boss goes from minutes to seconds.

I was curious about GE vs GP gained on rebirth. It seems like those numbers should be the same, but the GP gained is always a little higher than GE. Is there another source of GP that doesn't come from GE?

I like that you locked the boss upgrades until you've gotten auto-expedite unlocked for that boss, it feels like that makes more sense.

Another possible bug: I wasn't actually paying that close of attention, but I think I got the "Giant Stomper" achievement before defeating the Greatsword Skeleton five times but after defeating it more than once. I'm not sure which one is considered clearing the raid, but the achievement happened somewhere in the middle.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you for making the game! I'm into the Normal Giant Raids, and so far I find the Ascension playstyle to be a bit boring. It feels the same as the post-rebirth Raids, but the raids take much longer and there not much else to do. This might not be as much of a problem if the game worked in the background, but at least on my system if I switch tabs then the game doesn't progress until I switch back, so I'm not able to do anything else on my computer while playing the game.

The scaling of the raid upgrades seems strange too, I shouldn't be able to max upgrade the final boss when I reach the normal raids.

Another bug I believe: When you upgrade the raids, the amount of GE you earn is updated on the main raid page, but it is not updated on the screen that pops up when you click Fight or on the popup after completing the fight. I think you're awarded the correct amount of GE, it's just not reflected in the text.

I know my post sounds negative, but I am enjoying playing the game and I look forward to seeing what else you do with it!

Is Ascension available yet? I can't see a way to proceed after defeating Extreme Zeus.

Also I think there is a bug that prevents you from upgrading the Divine autobuyers. It doesn't really affect gameplay because you don't buy the Divine stats very quickly, but it's something I noticed.
