I loved it!!! super fun, chill, really awesome incremental.
A few notes though:
1) The pointer over the upgrades is centered on the middle of the hand instead of the tip of the finger, which leads to awkward controls when trying to close/drag upgrades.
2) The pinned tab... well, it's pinned, great, there's even a tutorial page explaining how it works, but every time I open up the laptop, instead of the pinned tab it opens the upgrades tab, so I'm mostly focused on upgrading gold or silver, but even if I pinned them it always opens the upgrade tabs, which is a bit annoying and it's an extra click every time I need to upgrade. If the pinned tab is not empty, it should always open by default.
3) The button animation when trying to upgrade sometimes doesn't respond correctly, it's a bit unreliable. Sometimes I have to click like 3 times to really upgrade. I'd remove the animation or make it work no matter the animation. The animation is a cool feature but if it makes the button not work, it's not worth it.
4) a few upgrades, like mercury cascade, or gold jackpot, read "next 0,0 (0,0 -> 0,0) which is confusing and I don't know if it's a UI problem or they really don't work.
If I find something more I'll post it here, super fun game, well done!
I got all the upgrades, evolved my void twice, and got all the skills that weren't grayed out. Then I prestiged.
1) I don't know what prestiging did for me?
2) Prestiging reset all my upgrades EXCEPT automation. Those were still maxed out.
3) I could not start the Gravity Discipline challenge. Pressing the button would reset my upgrades (except automation) and leave my money the same, but nothing else would happen, and no challenge I could tell. I got to the $75,000 goal, and still nothing happened. I tried this multiple times.
Your UI is very difficult to use. The upgrades menu takes up the entire half of the screen, and it is closed by clicking the laptop. But you have buttons on the top where the "close window" button usually is. The laptop gets hit a bunch while dragging coins. I would just have it open and close from the top. EDIT: Oh, gosh. The button is responding to my MOUSE pointer, not your custom created pointer. This drove me crazy the whole time. Whe you have to click on a small area, and the hand is covering what you need to click on.
1) make the upgrade menu take up less space, you have to open and close it constantly to get coins from the right side of the screen. (maybe turn the upgrades into small icons with the text explaining what they do appearing once someone hovers over it, or have the blank space in the pinned upgrades tab be smaller)
2) add more obvious explanations of the effects of skills. I couldn't find any explanation of what they do other than what the icons and titles implied.
3) if possible a sort by price option for the upgrades would be nice.
hey thank you for the feedback! With #2 relating to the skills, there should be a sort of tooltip pop up when hovered over to the right of the skill UI? if it’s not appearing would it be possible to know what resolution you are playing on? Thank you again for the feedback it’s very valuable!

Great game but I would add some small UI changes:
1) make the upgrade menu take up less space, you have to open and close it constantly to get coins from the right side of the screen. (maybe turn the upgrades into small icons with the text explaining what they do appearing once someone hovers over it, or have the blank space in the pinned upgrades tab be smaller)

I noticed the real problem. the upgrade menu covers the explanation of the skills.
Having the hand not fit the mouse cursor is really annoying to use. Can there be an option to disable the hand and just use the normal cursor?
i can do that i will add it to the list :]
I broke my auto-hands xD They just pass through the coins
Whoops haha i'll look into that!
Cheers :D
Nice concept so far
thank you :]
