Spiral Clicker

i noticed the 1.5 file in the game's folder. does that mean i can play the game with higher resolution?

hi, just noticed but hypno-tan's 4th image got replaced with another

Can someone explain how tiers work?

My spiral clicker resets to its last checkpoint and is not saving anymore how do i manually save

Why is buying levels in bulk not available from the beginning, and why can I only buy in bulk up to my previous maximum?

Hello there, I tried to start the game, but it keeps on saying: "Data.hx - Could not load game." What can I do here?

Seeing as you're working on the sequel, and probably rounding this one out, I have a suggestion for whenever you think you're finished working on this one. Have you ever considered a Mod folder of sorts? Something where we could put zip files containing image and text files to add our own characters and scenarios to the game? Also a quick note: Helen doesn't seem to want to change out of her new outfit.

For some reason i can't tap into the game

Just got done reading the new cutscenes (and Anne's now-fixed cutscene!), and as always, they're pretty good. I especially like that Iris and Darlene are brainwashed into thinking they achieved their goals (especially since that *didn't* happen with Dianne, Elkantar, or Xyren). 

That said, Iris's 3rd CG cutscene has all of its dialogue duplicated for the cutscene afterward, with the latter's original text missing. I tested this again on your latest build (21 hours ago) and it still happens. Please fix this.

I did notice some other, smaller issues with them: some cutscenes look like they're about to have another line of text, but the game fades out before it can be read (this is especially true for when Darlene says "I've always been submiss--uh," and the scene ends right afterward). In contrast, there are also times where the "null" line appears as text and the player has to click again to end the cutscene (and one of Holi's cutscenes has TWO "null"s in a row!). Lastly, some cutscenes--when they finish--won't return the characters' outfits back to what they were before, instead leaving them on whatever the characters were wearing in those scenes. This won't matter on first viewing, but it becomes annoying when rewatching cutscenes after unlocking their final outfits.

Oh, and there's a couple words missing ("have signal" instead of "have a signal"; "to growing" instead of "to be growing"). It might be a good idea to proofread everyone else's cutscenes, too, if you ever get the chance.

EDIT: I'm also kinda disappointed we don't learn more about Azile's motivations (what does she plan on doing with all her newfound strength and freedom?), but maybe that's something else that got cut off prematurely.

EDIT 2: Whoops, almost missed Raven's cutscenes. Hers are fine for the most part, but the 5th CG dialogue still says things like "shaft" and how she slides it "into" her mouth, even when playing as a female character. It just needs some tweaking for the other gender, is all.

One last suggestion: please add a way for the player to pause the game during real-time segments like the SHMUP level and the Night Trap level. I know they're only a few minutes long, but it's still annoying to lose that much progress due to an emergency in real life.

When you update the game next, please tweak the Elf Kingdom so it shows a recommended pearl amount for the next character, preferably before you take them on. At least have Helen tell you that your strength is based on current pearl count BEFORE losing to the gatekeeper and getting a sore arm in real life from clicking so much. I'd also like some sort of in-game hint as to how to unlock the Elf Kingdom because the current method is kinda unintuitive (no one needed to be over level 180 for anything except to unlock their bonus CGs).

There should also be clearer hints for how to defeat them. For example, "keep moving up the stairs" doesn't translate to "keep moving the mouse around the screen," especially since there's no visual for whether or not you're doing the right thing like there is for the gatekeeper (the stair animation keeps happening regardless). Plus, mouse movement was never needed before this point (only clicking was needed), making it extra unintuitive that this is the opposite.

P.S. A few summons don't have female-player variants for their CGs (such as Kass and Sonia), or if they do, they don't display in place of the male-player variants. If it's the former, I can wait. EDIT: Okay, I checked the graphics folder, and Sonia's 5th CG's female variant is there, so it not displaying is a game-side issue. Kass's 5th CG doesn't appear to have a female-variant yet, though, so I'll just have to wait for that one.

Two more Windows bugs: unlike every most other characters, the "time traveler" doesn't have *any* dialogue after the initial summon; increasing her level only unlocked the CGs by themselves, even when I got the fifth one. EDIT: same goes for several other summons, and the space pirate stops having dialogue after her 3rd CG (even her 4th/5th CGs don't unlock, even after unlocking her 6th CG--even after reaching level 600!) until reaching a certain point in the game, so maybe have the summons themselves progression-locked instead? It would help with other summons as well, like preventing getting the Noir detective before reaching the countryside.

Also, this cutscene for DH has the "Null" line superimposed on each sentence, making them hard to read. I also suspect it's missing lines since this sentence comes right after "Hey there," and then it's over. Bug persists on replay after pearl reset.

EDIT: A few other summons also have overlapping dialogue, with the second extra line being almost the same sentence, making both hard to read.

Just encountered a game-breaking bug in the latest Windows build: after unlocking the fifth CG for Leena, I got the city loyalty large enough for the police station to be "ready" again, but clicking on it does nothing. I even tried closing and reopening the game, but the bug persists. EDIT: Okay, turns out the bug is simply that the meter's indicator is too low and I just needed more loyalty than what it said. Here's a screenshot:

P.S. Another, comparatively minor bug I encountered is that the game never showed the private investigator's likes or dislikes. At first, I thought the game just wasn't gonna do that after the college, but then I unlocked the Nurse, whose final dislike is also blank (which, on its own, I would've assumed was intentional).

A few bugs with the current Windows version (which, again, is still 0.47): sound effects stopped playing after the second time I opened the game, and both volume sliders were all the way to the right (moving them didn't help). Also, several girls in the college have CGs unlock at different moments compared to when you get the cutscene. For example, I unlocked Crystal's fifth CG cutscene, but the window preview of it on her profile was still blank; others had the preview unlock *before* I got the cutscene. Plus, one of the college girls (I forgot who) has a bugged outfit counter: it said 3 but I could only swap between the first two; the third finally unlocked when it said 4, the 4th when it said 5, and the 5th when I unlocked its corresponding CG cutscene.

EDIT: Oh, and in the cutscene for the dean's 4th CG, the auditorium owner is mistakenly fully-clothed in preceding dialogue (in the actual CG, she's properly fully nude). 

P.S. Would you be willing to add a mechanic where brainwashing Hellen enough lets you generate pearls by only resetting *one* girl's progress at a time? (at the cost of getting fewer pearls, obviously). Maybe going even further would convince her to brainwash herself to generate pearls at regular intervals without losing net progress. EDIT: Nevermind, just saw Leena's CG cutscenes. EDIT 2: I would still like for there to be an option to get pearls without losing location loyalty because of how long it can take to build up, though. EDIT 3: Actually, now that I've beaten the game, I think this automated pearl generation could still work.

P.P.S. I'd also appreciate if the characters' post-full-nude CGs had cutscene dialogue like the main ones do. The hardest part (the drawing) is already done; all I'm asking for is a few lines of text added to them. Okay, I finally figured out how to see those cutscenes; would you be willing to make it a bit more clear how to do so? Maybe a cutscene when you first level up a character enough where Hellen says where to assign them and to look for the eye icon. 

Can you add an option to replay unlocked cutscenes? My mouse will occasionally register two clicks at once, and this caused me to miss a line of dialogue. EDIT: Okay, resetting progress to get pearls lets you see the cutscenes again, though I do think you missed an opportunity to have them be slightly different, like they still have vague memories of previously being hypnotized. Also, the Windows download is still v0.47. EDIT: I looked at earlier comments, and this appears to be a known issue and simply a typo. Apologies for harping on about it; I thought there were bug fixes I was missing.

EDIT 2: Actually, now that I think about it some more, introductory cutscenes can't be rewatched, even after reobtaining the same amount of loyalty that unlocked said characters, so at least having a way to view those specific cutscenes again would be nice. EDIT 3: On third thought, in the Elf Kingdom, it's easy to skip the first line of dialogue by accident since there's no clear victory/defeat demarcation; the game just instantly fades from the clicking segment to the cutscene, so it'd be nice if those could be rewatched at will as well. Maybe just do it for all cutscenes to be on the safe side.

EDIT: One of Tammy(the tennis player)'s lines is literally just the word "null", which I think is a mistake since her previous line is "I'm up for anything," which seems like a better way to end the cutscene. EDIT 2: Also, when I reset progress for pearls, this particular cutscene played twice: once where it ended when it was supposed to, and the other with the extra "null" that doesn't get auto-skipped like everyone else's visible "null" lines.
