Not sure what it is, but I keep getting an error that crashes the game.

Sometimes when i load up the web version i end up way off the viewable area and watch as all the enemies track to some point offscreen. A good temp solution to this might be a teleport to center button seeing as there is no way for me to move myself to the center without waiting an unknown amount of time. And in this state if i try to move to a different system the game goes black.

It may be a client side glitch, I've never got this before. What software do you run the game on? Er, rather, do you have it downloaded or are you on web. If your on web you may have to just wipe the cookies on the page and reload. If it's downloaded I'd try deleting the game and retrying. And yes I know It's frustrating to lose all the work you put in... But if you have it  downloaded you could easily copy the save file or files into another folder elsewhere, re-download the game and just replace the files. Idk if ANY of this will help but It's here...

HI! it's me again. I know. I'm like a puppy, You can't get rid of me. I'm curious what the plan is for this game (if you have one or are even truly working on it [as in developing content rather than bug fixing] and not... You know. 

There aren’t really a plan for this game, sorry. I make new game all the time so I can’t keep updating old games forever.

If there’s a bug/crash then I will fix it. If a game is really popular then I might update it. If I have a lot of new ideas, concepts, then I will make a sequel (as you can see this game is already the second version of the Simple space game).

Understandable that you don't have a million arms or clones to put to wark on certain things, so It's completely understandable. I do belive that this game is pretty popular (it was on the third page of one of the tags, can't remember which one though.), but is {relatively} perfect. I also recently came back to this game after my exams and I would like to say; good job on the performance update (I think...) and the full implementation of the missions. One thing I don't understand, howwever, is if you can upgrade the ship like before; upgrade max part HP, Ship movement speed, ect. If you removed it (or turned those things into parts, like an engine piece for speed), may I ask why?

P.S I'm not asking for those upgrade sets back, It just suprised me when I diddn't see the upgrade path(s) in the ship menu, and if they are there if they're a module or you have to unlock the upgrades later on through the TP (I call the Time Travel points "Travel Points".) paths.

So, is the laser the last thing you unlock?

So I've recently noticed that the game will lock up for about 20 seconds every couple of minutes now.  It also will take about that long to start up.  Any idea what could be the cause?  I'm using the standalone Windows version.  It's probably just a coincidence, but it seems like the issue began the first time my money passed 1,048,576 (so, the first cyan block in the binary display).


Also, the game still crashes more often than not whenever you try and remove a part.

Would it be possible to add a download button?  I'd love to save it for offline play.

Sure

when i try to upgrade a cannon with burn on impact it crashes my game.

Noted, should be fixed now.

Hey, I don't understand what the game means by "missions". Does it mean like the areas that are star systems? or the areas where its "freeplay"? If the missions are the "protect the allied ship" and the "destroy the space trach/everything" then I don't understand how to get more points to get a new boss, unless i have to put hours of my time into that instead of a few minutes to get a new boss, rebirth, repeat sortof thing.

Mission can only be completed in star system. It's just another way to get money, time crystal. Once you reach higher level in asteroid belt (the freeplay mode) the enemy health can ramp up faster than you can upgrade. So you might want to explore other places to get more resource instead. 


At least that's the plan I think. I didn't spend much time balancing the game, especially the late game so I'm not sure.

For somereason teh game will show the "loading" screen, then it turns grey. I've reopened teh game, restarted my laptop, even changed my wifi, is there a fix or is this client side?

Probably save file corruption. I think you can clear cookie to reset it. 

If you open inspect menu (f12) > application tab, on the right you will see storage > local storage you will be able to see save file name "SimplerSpace.0.playerdata.json" right click + copy that file and send it to me (or put it in pastebin) so I can check the error. Thank you.



Currently I play this on my chromebook however I'm probably going to switch to my monster PC as my chrombook cries when I open the tab and boot the game up (CPU at 68 C rn) and I was unsure how to copy the save file; If it happens on my pc I'll do that for you. Thanks for the tip! 

ALSO; 

I don't know if I said this before but your game is AMAZING, and I encourage you to continue. Again, thank you for giving me the help you have and for creating this beauty of a game :)
