amazing game i just beat derekulus x on my own planet but i dont know what to do with my worm cubes and i also maxed out my jerks on burgluron but cant beat the derricks on derekulus x or jack so im kinda stuck
If you mean ascending, that is a thing in the game, if you complete it. But play it here: http://christianlaumark.dk/PlanetLife/ It's the most recent version, and it's waaaay cooler :)
hi im 10 years old and im a brazilian, i found a bug while in the 3 acenncion:i was into my surface then i goed to space and the explore(asteroid) button was duplicated!
in chapter 3 if your going to update it some more can you make it to where we can upgrade our core by a lot more because it is almost impossible to beat the derekulan planet with just 3000
Really love your game. Watched CaptainSauce play the first Chapter and I couldnt resist checking this out.
I problem im experienceing is that Derek isnt showing up anywhere after I defeated him and took the Coco stardust. I may have missed something, but I cant go back, and I need to know!!! Please help.
nvm, i found out what happened. you go to jack and no matter what u win with the fight because of the coco stardust. though, should derek have been in the jerk club after giving the coco star?
I used google. The dog says:1. Is in English 2. It's so hot. Can't you get me a cloth? 2. I once ate a whole shell. It tasted of pancakes. 3.Hey skipper! Why don't you fetch me a cold beer? We could also share an Ice Cream now that you're in the process. 4. Shit in your pocket is better than cheese with grain. You are sure those were wise words. 5. Arh, I'm looking forward to coming to town tonight. You have an urge to ask him why, but you don't want to start an argument. 6. Is in English. 7. Is in English (He tries to fetch but fails).
This is Translated using a thought process and some weird Danish. Number three was quite confusing...
Hi. For some reason, the game (not on itchio, but on the official site thing) won't let me upgrade the core beyond 2950. The button thing just isn't there. It's gone. This also happens with the wood and cocoa generator (before it can get to 100, the upgrade button disappears). Normally, I would assume it's the maximum, but since Jack (the sun) can do at least 3,000 damage, I pretty sure it's not.
Yes. It is the max, but here's the solution: it doesn't matter how much stardust you have. This is on purpose so you have to get coco-infused stardust from Derek in the jerk club. As soon as jack eats any of your stardust, he dies even if you run out of stardust.
it would be a nice touch if we got some kind of reward when we finished a turn with action points left over, like for every action left over when you end your turn, you can either deal 50-200 damage or bake 50-200 muffins
Am I missing the materials for Brets "own" idea? Because i now have had over 10k of everything except space rings, stardust, and lollipops, which i still have gotten a lot of. Mom come pick me up I'm scared.
Oh no. You got the bug as well :/ There is something wrong with people that has a savegame from the previous version of the game. Did you play it when it was just chapter 1 & 2? To fix it you can restart the game, and use the cheat (pinned in the Planet Life discord channel) to get to the Burgulon chapter and start from there. Really sorry for trouble
Legendary jerks would rock, indeed since I've been walking around with over 100 jerks, reducing my team is going to be hard, so it'd be nice to have some uba replacements.
In particular, I notice that the derek's appitite for stardust sometimes goes down and sometimes not when you feed them more muffins, but tends to increase during the fight. It'd be cool if say there was an ability that made the increase in derek appitite smaller.
You could also consider some upgrades for jerk squad size limit too, if it's now going to be limited.
I'm still at the moment grinding up resources for jerk upgrades, and am only on 6 out of the final 21 derekunians, and that's quite aside from all the super high stats on the derek summoner to work towards.
Ah that makes sense as regards jerk size limit, though it will make the strategy interesting, and imho it'd be awesome if more epic jerks like jerkinson cruso were in the game, perhaps at a ridiculously high cost of space rings or even requiring lollypops to buy, particularly because looking at the stats of the summonable dereks, you will need truly bonkers amounts of resources for upgrades, so more to work for will be good I think, also of course, if you can only have a max of 50 jerks on your squad, the amount of spacerings you will need will be limited anyway.
I definitely understand working on one project solo takes a lot of time besides a job, but congrats on producing such a polished game, I particularly admire the thought that has gone into designing the battle system in this one, since it's really rare to find such an easy to understand system, heck even healing yourself after battle is far more interesting than in most rpgs.
I have a minor problem, probably has nothing too do with the game, when I downloaded it and tried to open it it did not work, probably my device, I use mac
Now that I have finished the game and seen the ending, though didn't take the option of finding out what has happened to jack, I cannot buy anymore jerks, I've clicked on the jerk cans, I have over 6000 space rings, and nothing is happening, yet if the Derek's stats go as nuts in the later battles as I expect they will I will probably need more jerks as well as upgrading power.
Am I missing something? or is this a bug, since there is no explanation, and if it is intended to stop players buying more jerks, then why does the final dungeon turn up whe it does?
I hope that I am missing something and that this isn't broken, especially because I rather enjoy seeing what new jerks turn up, and now that makes space rings yet another useless resource.b
So the reason why you can't buy anymore jerks is that you have more than 50 which is the new limit for the squad. So you just need to remove some jerks from your squad to be able to buy more :) A message is meant to be displayed in the description text of the jerk club if you hit the 50 cap, but it might not be working correctly yet
Okay I have now mostly finished chapter 3, or at least there is only the final dungeon to go, though that is probably going to take a while to buff up with all of the correct upgrades.
As I said in the last comment, this has been fantastic, I love the battle system, which even makes repeated fights interesting, and the ending was great, bringing in characters from the hole saga and wrapping things up.
Since I'm going to discuss a few mechanics now in detail spoilers ahoy:
Firstly, as I said, previously I do think there might be a miner mistake on the wood synthesizer price display, not that it's a problem since you can just click the upgrade button and see if it works.
I do wish there were a few more advanced jerks after the fantastic jerk can stage, since I reached that stage comparatively earlier on and whilst I can always buy more jerks for the pile, (I'm currently at over 110), new powers to play with are always fun.
One thing I didn't quite get, was the bit about dismissing certain jerks, since it seemed to cost stardust to get rid of them, unless the idea is that you need to just cope with the choices you have made, then again since the total number of jerks you have isn't a factor and limiting the size of your jerk pile would drastically change strategy this isn't too much of an issue.
One problem I did have however in the later game, is that just as stardust became almost useless towards the end of chapter 2, since all of Derek's upgrades just took gold wood and coco, in the same way, both gold and stardust, very much needed earlier became useless later, indeed even though I've stopped using the space bar,I have so much gold it's not funny.
It'd be nice if either gold and stardust could be converted to other resources, or if there was something to buy with them beyond the odd bean, using the derek summoning device or gnome sneak attempts, ditto with lollypops, indeed I love the way that so many actions give you lollypops and they're needed to gain more power.
I'm afraid one rather odd part of the game I found was the gnome sneaking, and indeed there I'm not sure what is where.
my reccord so far is floor 109 (I was a little confused things didn't stop at floor 99), and I don't know if I've found everything there is to find down there or not. Indeed, it might be nice to have a few more things to buy to help with the sneaking, for example, single use items to effect a diversion and give you a free sneak, or an ability similar to the door of regret that would reroll the door types for you.
I was also a little surprised that more sneaky gnomes weren't available for even higher stardust costs as well.
all in all though, the game has been great fun, I'll definitely be defeating the final battles and seeing what reward you get before taking the last step (which I'm fairly sure will restart the game).
Thank a lot however for all the work you put in, the weird universe, including crazy sound effects, and all the great systems and battles.
Whether planet life gets further upgrades or a sequel, or whether you work on something else in the future, I hope things go well.b
Hello again Dark. Thanks for the feedback! First of all, I'm the only one making this game, so if some part of the gameplay isn't deeper, or the end game is lacking a bit, it's because I simply haven't had the time to prioritize it. I'm doing this project as a side thing to my full time job, so I can't put in everything if I also want to release it ;)
About dismissing jerks. To get your squad better, you will need to dismiss some of your beginner jerks so you will draw the better jerks more often. That's why there's a price on it.
About the stardust becoming useless.. You can go to Space Ben (that you got from the Celestial Summoning Device) and trade stardust for either wood, gold or coco. You can even buy rings from him.
I like the idea with consumables in the sneak dungeons. I might put that in at some point. Also I really wanted to have epic jerks that you could get by paying a lot of space rings. But I simply didn't have time to make it.
Thanks again for all your feedback and thoughts! It's been amazing to make this game, when there's people like you out there :)
Alright, I'm now well into the third chapter and yee gods it's bloody awesome!
There is so much stuff to do and so many different goals to try out for. Also, I love how balanced resources are, although I've not found a good way to get stardust as yet other than finding it in the sneaky dungeons, but hay I have more things to do, actually the fact that there is an awesome battle system here as well as so much else is going to please a lot of people I think.
Two points, firstly I'm not sure if the wood synthecizer prices are displaying correctly, since for a while I thought I couldn't upgrade it, also I notice that when sneaking gnomes down the dungeon, even when the rate of detection is showing at zero percent, presumably because your gnome's sneakiness is higher than the dungeon , the detection rate still rises.
Secondly, I unlocked the way back to the broccoli empire which is great,
however I do wish that had more of an effect on burger's gameplay once I unlocked it, EG a way to send some resources from the planet to help burger out or the like, but as far as I could gather, the planet had no new options.
it'd be nice if say you could use your resources as a planet to construct a transmitter to send Burger help occasionally, so that your past progress could actually affect your present, as well as give players something do whilst they buy Derik upgrades :D.
Still, we'll see, I'm quite looking forward to the ending, though judging at how strong the enemies can get and how much upgrading the jerks take, chapter 3 likely to take longer than chapters 1 and 2 combined, even counting finishing the final dungeon :D.

hi im 10 years old and im a brazilian, i found a bug while in the 3 acenncion:i was into my surface then i goed to space and the explore(asteroid) button was duplicated!
hello im 9 year old and i start all over by remouldin but i didnt get the timeranium is this a bug or i just export this straight up to chapter 3
in chapter 3 if your going to update it some more can you make it to where we can upgrade our core by a lot more because it is almost impossible to beat the derekulan planet with just 3000
My coco core vanished & derek vanished too so I can't beat jack! Is there a way to get it back??
Can you send over your savegame? That sounds like a tough bug
i dunno where to buy ghosts, or where to get them:(
Hey :) Space Ben sells some ghosts
I bought them all up from him, is this a bug or can i get them somewhere else?
Oh.. Do you still have any left?
Go to the Space phone and buy a phone coin for a ghost. Then call the first number
How do you make Derek nuclear?
What have you heard? :P
Don't play dumb with me, I had it happen on an older game.
strange characters but really awesome game
hey Crede the game is really amazing! But i think i ran into a bug or broke the game. I cant progress with Jack and my coco core is gone :')
Oh.. That's probably a bug. Send the savegame to my email christianlaumark@gmail.com and I'll fix it right up for you :)
thanks much, sorry for the late reply :)
LOL a the storyline so hypocritical
😂😂😂
can you keep the old music or both?
such as when the new music finishes the old one plays
Hey Crede!
Really love your game. Watched CaptainSauce play the first Chapter and I couldnt resist checking this out.
I problem im experienceing is that Derek isnt showing up anywhere after I defeated him and took the Coco stardust. I may have missed something, but I cant go back, and I need to know!!! Please help.
Again, thanks for this amazing game.
Thanks! R.D :) Really glad you like it!
Derek should be in the Jerk Club after you have defeated him. Can you find him there?
nvm, i found out what happened. you go to jack and no matter what u win with the fight because of the coco stardust. though, should derek have been in the jerk club after giving the coco star?
Ah no. That worked as it should :)
Same for me even same yt
I can't buy the wood synthesizer (chapter 3) even though I have more than enough gold, can someone tell me what the price for it is?
Edit: darkempathy already asked this so I'm sorry if I missed a reply.
Export your save and play it here: http://christianlaumark.dk/PlanetLife/ I think there could still be some issues on that site you are playing on
OK, thank you.
I used google. The dog says:1. Is in English 2. It's so hot. Can't you get me a cloth? 2. I once ate a whole shell. It tasted of pancakes. 3.Hey skipper! Why don't you fetch me a cold beer?

This is Translated using a thought process and some weird Danish. Number three was quite confusing...
Number 3 is more like "Hey Skipper! Won't you fetch me a cold beer?"
Got it! Thanks
it would be nice if we could get a sfx/music volume slider instead of just an on/off button.
actually, that is the max on all of those.
Yes. It is the max, but here's the solution: it doesn't matter how much stardust you have. This is on purpose so you have to get coco-infused stardust from Derek in the jerk club. As soon as jack eats any of your stardust, he dies even if you run out of stardust.
i dont know what to do next
Have you talked to Remouladin?
im on the burgrgendion thing burger planet
beat he game
it would be a nice touch if we got some kind of reward when we finished a turn with action points left over, like for every action left over when you end your turn, you can either deal 50-200 damage or bake 50-200 muffins
Am I missing the materials for Brets "own" idea? Because i now have had over 10k of everything except space rings, stardust, and lollipops, which i still have gotten a lot of. Mom come pick me up I'm scared.

Really sorry for trouble
Vuelle! I got a fix for it. Could you get in touch with me on Discord, so I can help you out?
sure!
Welp, its finally over. You managed to create an idle game that never runs out of fun. Nice job.
I hope DanTDM plays this
More Games Please!
Could you also make a star life, sorta like planet life but your a star

Well, I know that Jerkinson Crusoe halves the enemy's stardust appetite, but only once.
Beat the 1 Million health Jerk, no different rewards :/
Hi.

Well back to smacking dereks I go :D.
Thanks Dark! :)
Now I am actually considering making legendary jerks that will be really hard to get.
And yeah I had a lot of fun make the bean healing system :)
I have a minor problem, probably has nothing too do with the game, when I downloaded it and tried to open it it did not work, probably my device, I use mac
It should work on mac. Did you open the index.html file?
IT works now!
Thanks I probably used the wrong file
Okay just reporting a miner bug.
Beware! Spoilage ahoy!
Now that I have finished the game and seen the ending, though didn't take the option of finding out what has happened to jack, I cannot buy anymore jerks, I've clicked on the jerk cans, I have over 6000 space rings, and nothing is happening, yet if the Derek's stats go as nuts in the later battles as I expect they will I will probably need more jerks as well as upgrading power.
