The best way to get lollipops is using the One Eyed Derekulian Roulette and using 1k gold, use the order 1,3,1 for most likely chance of success, always pull out of the game after 3.
First off, let me say I really enjoy the quirkiness of this game, it is so fun!
However, I think I have run into an issue.
I first discovered Planet Life the other week on coolmathgames. Prompted me to finally make an account there after a few years. I was tired of losing progress on games. (Well it turns out I misunderstood what exactly was saved there.) And long story short, I lost progress there again (entirely my fault. And I see from the comment section here that the export function was glitchy there even when it was an option.)
So I searched to see where the game was available elsewhere. I was pleased to see all the options! ^_^
So following the advice you gave here, I clicked the link and it took me to planetlife.space . I noticed in the beginning of the game that the dialogue seemed a tiny bit different. Interesting, I liked the original quirkyness too. But then I started noticing no treasure chests in the dungeons. Even though the bit here on itch is saying it's the updated version, I quickly began to come to the conclusion that it's in fact an earlier version. (I restarted/reloaded it just to test it.)
So, off to try christianlaumark.dk/PlanetLife/ by pasting it into the address bar, and start the game for a fourth time. And voila, updated version with export and import functionality.
It's neat being able to see the game in its earlier form, and the .space is a neat address, but I don't know if you want to edit the links, or switch the coding, but I thought I'd give you a heads up that was happening in case you didn't know.
By the way, I really appreciate you shrinking the game display later on to fit to screen! Less scrolling is much appreciated.
Thank you very much for making such a fun game and sharing it!
On the discord Crede has said that the PlanetLife.space version is going to be discontinued and not going to be updated. They have said about taking it down, but i guess its still there.
The link for planetlife.space is right on https://crede.itch.io/planet under the Download button. "ATTENTION: People report that they lose their progress when playing the game here. This is due to an issue with the way itch.io handles the state in the game. If you want to avoid this, play the game from here: https://planetlife.space/"
(So you didn't tell me personally, it's just hanging out there.)
(I did... and haven't had time to play it in a over month, and I miss it. I keep wanting to find out more about Derek, Burger's, and their friends' adventures! It was only a small time I got to play it at the appropriate link, but so far it seemed to be working just fine. )
Hi so I'm playing on the official Planet Life site and my coco core thing disappeared and Derek did as well so I guess I'm stuck now since I need it to defeat Jack. Is this a bug or was it deliberate and I just have to max upgrade everything?
Edit: Nvm it worked without the coco core. This is a great game and I'd play again! :)
I like its music and option for either sound or effects there, also clicking gets a different pic appearing fitting to dis/enable those sections.
That "incremental"-tag originally let me notice that your game exists and not sure if the title or preview-pic somehow caught my attention, possibly just the method of playing this game on browser? While I generally like levelling-typed games too.
I just headed in-game, while that astroid (click, hold, move ...like drag&dropping a link) even works for e.g. this graphic, maybe I'm just too curious about tiny features, just thought feedbacking this info. Maybe not marking text could quite prevent users from copying images, maybe same for hovering over words will currently change my pointer from default to "I"-icon, which is used for html-input-tags, etc.
"starmap"-object sounds awesome with space ink animation, also "show the way to someplace cool" possibly including a missing single gap, I guess & maybe "some cool place" instead? btw: when buying it, but just taking it and not wanting to read closer info ...would be cool to get more options like: okay/nope. Same if something would get revealed in addition, what if I'm planning to examine it later? There's no "back"-button yet.
I also like how every object moves when the player being idle, also when starting the game and that planet's "face expression" changed from wow to ow.
Cool background/text-colours, graphical animation and I like its story. The itch-description's hint about progress-saving is informative too.
Derek's gym: stronger to 80atk (at its first lv) or pump-health to 100hp. uhm, if I'm using the last upgrade (btw: I had Derek beaten by enemies in a dungeon, having -7hp, while using the ressources for trading them against health it's 100/100 now. Still in dungeon he's at the same status: reviving by using some stardust), why isn't he alive with his full-health now?
Could that slot-machine probably refer to its percent/chance of success - would be awesome.
in-game shop: upgrading hp-potion effect, does it somehow downgrade automatically after getting it from 50 to 60?
I adore that paper which reveals some additional stuff (without spoilering too much info for new players) & I like the screenshots about this game.
If derek dies, you need stardust to revive it, it doesnt matter what other activities you do it increase its health, its still considered dead. If you have derek dead and you cant afford the stardust, theres a reason why there is a slot machine
I finally had enough stardust to get legendary jerks but when I went to buy one from beanie I didn't have enough rings and now I'm not given the option to buy any anymore :(
I eventually gave up on this game, the quizz not resuming where you failed eventually got me. Also the unnecessary animations and repeated buttons click make the grinding in dungeon tedious, even navigating the menus gets annoying after a while. IMHO, this gets too repetitive and needs shortcuts and faster gameplay. I would suggest playing kingdom of loathing to gather a few clues and pointer from their game design.
Other than those points, this is a nice game, you can tell the dev invested heart and effort to make it. fun and enjoyable experience if you can get over the point where it gets repetitive (dungeons, and navigating menus).
I found a bug. Whenever I go to Beanie for the first time, it won't let me click "Give 20 coco as a present" option. The option is there, but it's blacked out and I can't click it. I have well over 20 coco.
As a matter of fact I can't click anything. I will admit I went to console and did "goBurgulonSurface" to skip to Burgulon chapter. I only did it cause I had made it that far on coolmathgames.com. I actually beat the game once on cool math but I couldn't import the save so i just tried to jump forward to get a head start :p
It means that the text will go by faster. I figured this out when i turned it on and in the dungeon after you have Derek fight it doesn't have that "Derek?.. Derek?" page its only there when he dies
so i brute force beat jack, did that effect me ending the game? because ive beat all the dungeons and the hardest derek and ive finished everything except what im supposed to use the worm cores for? can some one steer me in the right direction i feel lost?
So, I found an infinite worm cube thing on the Coolmath version. I have no clue if it works here or on the most updated thing. Once you get Sweatson and go to normal planet, got to Remouladin. Whenyou go through the wormhole again, there will be a worm cube. I discovered he doesn't actually take the ghosts either, so you can just do it over and over. Its tedious because of the cutscenes, but it works. You can get a ton of them using this. Please either fix this, devs, or do whatever you want, I guess.
I think there's a bug with some of the jerks. For instance, the jerkromancer acts like a mean jerk, and the legendary cheating jerk acts like a snappy jerk baker or a frankesteins baker. The legendary jerk thrower just takes a jerk action and does nothing. Also, whenever I use one of those jerks, or what they act like, the inverse jerk will be drawn (i.e. when i use the jerkromancer, it spawns a mean jerk, and vice versa.) Another thing is that, when I use a jerkromancer, I can use it even if I have 0 jerk actions, but it takes away 2. I hope this wasn't too confusing.
Also, I don't know if this is a bug or what, but, after my save file got deleted once because cookies were cleared, (antivirus thing) I tried to export my save game so I wouldn't have to do it again. But when I try to click on the 'export save' button in settings, nothing happened. Is it because I'm on coolmath?
Yes CoolMath's export doesn't work for some reason. As for the jerks, I'm not sure what could be causing it.. Did you beat the game once and play it again?
I spent lots of hours grinding coco and wood to get my Derek to 10,000 health and strength. I complete the infinite monster dungeon and nothing cool happens. I decide to casually talk to Remouladin and go to Burgulon. Right before that, I see a new button, I click it and enter Derekulus X. After I finish the dungeon, I have two options:loot the room and enter the door. I choose to loot the room and get 3 worm cubes. Then when I try to open the door, it doesn't work.(edited)
Okay so, I didn’t spend any ghosts to buy phone coins for the ghost trade thing. And now I have bought Ben out of his stock of ghosts. I now realize my mistake and is there anyway to get a ghost? I already broke my workshop down so that won’t work.
Personally I was starting with "1 gold per sec." as chance of 30% and being rather chilled, so no upgrade for more amounts yet, I guess. Tending to focus on other ressources, e.g. wood or more valuable ones.
In my opinion Its wood poker, if you have about 20000 wood and you bet it all (on a sure win) Then you get like 200 lollipops and if anybody took the bet 20000 more wood allowing you to double the possible amount gained.
i'm a bit confused on how i'm supposed to beat the bent moon, im at the point where my jerks are fighting the moon but it just keeps saying that my team has been beaten up but they never give up and are ready to fight again and my only click option says "go go jerks" which just generates the same thing again and no matter how many times i click it nothing changes so i'm not sure how to win/get out of that cycle, am i missing something or doing something wrong?
I have been playing for a while now, and I got to the point where Derek gave me my cocoa core. I didn't know what the core did and then it disappeared and I don't know if it is important.
Ah, sorry to hear that. You can cheat to get back to that point:
Go to burger. Make him switch between chopping wood and mining gold for about 5 or 6 times until the 'yes?' broccoli button appears. Click it and go to settings (the cockwheel in the top right corner). Press the new Space farts button. This takes you to the Broccoli empire chapter.
I'm starting to understand fighting mechanics of the Jerks. One aspect however that has eluded my grasp are the Jerk Bakers, I tried testing them out on the Derekulians but it seems they just take the remaining stardust anyway. Is it the quantity of the muffins that screws me over? I don't know what I'm doing wrong :/
I'm really happy you're enjoying my game :) As far as I remember it has to do with Remouladin, but if you want in depth answers you should head to the Discord: https://discord.gg/3nCapx9
if you still haven't figured it out you need to go to beanies imagination and go to moulidan then keep giving him lollipops until you get the sunglasses
(btw im my opinion the easiest way to get lollipops is with the wooden poker in beanies imagination)
hi love the game i'm playing on the cool maths games version and i cant find anything to protect my eyes so i can get to jack please help me edit i've found it if you give mouliadan enough lollipops he will give them to you
Planet Life is a great game but I am stuck at the intergalactic ghost exchange. I think I understand how to use it but I am unable to use it. If I am not on impatient mode than it just shows a ghost and says the ghost predictions are in (briefly showing the chart and saying it reeks of opportunity every couple of seconds) but no way to actually buy or sell. If I am in impatient mode it shows the chart and the buttons, but only the top one (1 ghost for 3-22 stardust) and the back too space button, is on the screen and it updates too quickly for me to scroll down in time.
Otherwise the game is great.
Would like to know how too do the ghost exchange though and if I am just doing something wrong.
Saw the game this morning on coolmath games and I have been playing it all day.
I am playing on a laptop on the coolmath games site.
This is an issue I had with the coolmathgames version as well, that version is extremely sped up for some reason, which messes up the ghost exchange portion as well as completely speeding up the game progression. You may have to start over on a different platform since I also can't get the export savegame feature to work on coolmathgames. I'd reccomend the http://christianlaumark.dk/PlanetLife/ version, which seems to be the most stable and up-to date.

The best way to get lollipops is using the One Eyed Derekulian Roulette and using 1k gold, use the order 1,3,1 for most likely chance of success, always pull out of the game after 3.
Is there a max on the Experimental Potion Research?
Edit: Do any of Derek's upgrades have maxes?
Yes, there's a max to most upgrades
crede, how much GIFs there are for equpment in the official thing?(example is cowbar or crowbar)
http://christianlaumark.dk/PlanetLife/images/handling/item_Cowbar.gif
There's 50 different equipment GIF's :) Cowbar is one of them, and it is very different from crowbar ;)
why did you make 2 equal GIFs ( cowbar and crowbar) the same way? (dont trick me i has a save with four acensions and my newest already has one)
edit:
WHERE MY TRANCEND OPTIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
edit 2: where you save all the GIFs that you use for later? and how much of them there are? ( normal ones)
It was something about naming the image right, and they take up so little space, so it was not a problem.
And what do you mean where I save all the gifs for later? The game has 461 GIFS, and 22 static png backgrounds
i mean where you keep the GIFs for using later
edit: TRANSCEND OPTIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Hey SNP. Good to see you here ;)
Thank you for the heads up ^-^
Hey! I'm glad you like the game :)
planetlife.space is from a long time ago, and I don't have access to that site..
When did I tell you to go there?
I'm glad you got to christianlaumark.dk/PlanetLife/ at last. It should work without a flaw there :)
Sorry about the long delay to reply. :(

THE FREINDS HOUSE IS ACTUALLY YOSHI"S EGG LOL
It totally is!
What are the ghosts for? I have 2 but don't know what they do.
You will need them soon enough :)
Anyone bored after beating the game twice? I'm on my third run and I almost don't wanna play anymore.
I eventually gave up on this game, the quizz not resuming where you failed eventually got me. Also the unnecessary animations and repeated buttons click make the grinding in dungeon tedious, even navigating the menus gets annoying after a while.

what does impateint mode mean??? because i cant figure out the difference
It means that the text will go by faster. I figured this out when i turned it on and in the dungeon after you have Derek fight it doesn't have that "Derek?.. Derek?" page its only there when he dies
oh thank you
so i brute force beat jack, did that effect me ending the game? because ive beat all the dungeons and the hardest derek and ive finished everything except what im supposed to use the worm cores for? can some one steer me in the right direction i feel lost?
Have you met the worm god yet
I made an account to report this
So, I found an infinite worm cube thing on the Coolmath version. I have no clue if it works here or on the most updated thing. Once you get Sweatson and go to normal planet, got to Remouladin.

What is the best way to get gold as Burger
Personally I was starting with "1 gold per sec." as chance of 30% and being rather chilled, so no upgrade for more amounts yet, I guess. Tending to focus on other ressources, e.g. wood or more valuable ones.
whats the best way to get lollipops?
in my opinion, it's taking the gnomes into the dungeons, after you get out of them the gnome you took will give you lollipops
In my opinion Its wood poker, if you have about 20000 wood and you bet it all (on a sure win) Then you get like 200 lollipops and if anybody took the bet 20000 more wood allowing you to double the possible amount gained.

you need to refresh the page and go talk to bret to create a team of jerks
thanks!
probably my favorite game ever.
Woooooow! :D Thanks!
Hey man I was wondering how to open my jerk cans when I bought them with my resources
They should open right when you buy them?
what do ghosts do?
You will need them for several things. Did you figure it out?
I have been playing for a while now, and I got to the point where Derek gave me my cocoa core. I didn't know what the core did and then it disappeared and I don't know if it is important.
Did you use it on Jack?
Personaly, I think you should lower the Worm God's friend requirement to 5. But other than that 10/10
6 = ALL friends avaliable
The game is fun btw
It didnt save on the browser for me ):
I was on the broccoli planet
Ah, sorry to hear that. You can cheat to get back to that point:
Go to burger. Make him switch between chopping wood and mining gold for about 5 or 6 times until the 'yes?' broccoli button appears. Click it and go to settings (the cockwheel in the top right corner).
Press the new Space farts button. This takes you to the Broccoli empire chapter.
thanks
I'm starting to understand fighting mechanics of the Jerks. One aspect however that has eluded my grasp are the Jerk Bakers, I tried testing them out on the Derekulians but it seems they just take the remaining stardust anyway. Is it the quantity of the muffins that screws me over? I don't know what I'm doing wrong :/
I would recommend you go to the Discord. They know everything about how to put together the perfect jerk team:

Planet Life is a great game but I am stuck at the intergalactic ghost exchange. I think I understand how to use it but I am unable to use it.

Saw the game this morning on coolmath games and I have been playing it all day.
I am playing on a laptop on the coolmath games site.
This is an issue I had with the coolmathgames version as well, that version is extremely sped up for some reason, which messes up the ghost exchange portion as well as completely speeding up the game progression. You may have to start over on a different platform since I also can't get the export savegame feature to work on coolmathgames. I'd reccomend the http://christianlaumark.dk/PlanetLife/ version, which seems to be the most stable and up-to date.
It's strange, because I tried it on cool math, and the speed was fine. A little faster, but not so fast as to ruin the ghost exchange
Hmm.. That sounds weird. I will check it out.
I recommend you play it on http://christianlaumark.dk/PlanetLife/ for the best experience though.
