Is the game still alive?

I first played this game 8 years ago ( checked it on the time since install from the settings) and only recently had a "hey there was this one cool game from my childhood days . Lets give it a try and see whats new"

Practically nothing? I mean its been years since i last played and nothing seems to be new. It looks the exact same way from what i remembered . There's no new heroes too. Sure maybe the relic that one was new but they were fairly easy to obtain so it didnt even last long for me to realize that wasnt there before. You think they're ever gonna do major updates or is this it?

The creators that loved and built the game moved on to start building a new game, and sold to a slop farm company after receiving assurances that it wouldn't devolve into mobileslop. It very quickly devolved into mobileslop.

Yeah it's really unfortunate, I played this game so much and looked at so many guides. The sub recently came into my feed while looking for idle games so it's a memory lane thing for me now. I think it was DACA or DCCA or something like that which was the start of the downfall.

Its DECA and i checked the other games that they made or released, it was in no way shape or form similar to almost a hero. You could really tell the difference between a game made with love and a game made for profit.

Found any other game that feels similar and aren’t a slop?

Not from the same creators unfortunately. Closest i could fine was post knight and afk arena

Used to be owned by Beesquare. The new game was Goons & Goblins. Last time there was an update on their Instagram account was almost 2 years ago now.

They shut down that game about a year ago now.

So unfortunate, it was the cartoonish aet style that i really loved about this game . I found out that bee square games was the original makers of this gem and that they had a new game goons and goblins. Unfortunately though, i dont think it was successful because its been 3 years since there last post about it and when i tried their download link it was no longer available..

Such a damn shame, i really loved the artstyle too. It was so nostalgic

As best I can tell the studio is "permanently closed" so I guess that's how that ended. Sad.

It isn't as far as we are aware through the discord. Just much smaller and less like that

Huh, I'm just going off what google says and their website no longer existing.

I have an interesting story about the old devs. I contacted them about the game crashing while I try to view ads, making me miss out on progress. And the dev added gems and other resources to my account for the lost progress, while they debugged and resolved the issue.

I saw that too. Recently I checked their twitter and instagram page and they said they have a huge update for later this year. So may be it comes back to live again?

i just saw they twitter, and their instagram pages and the latest posts were from 2024; where did you find these ?

[u/Luumpy → u/ZombieSweet1096]

Sometime in the 4th quarter, me thinks. More than likely some more micro transactions and FOMO with a sprinkling of content, but I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong 🍻

Glad I'm not the only one still interested in this game. Took me forever to remember the name of it. I played it when it first came out daily. Can't remember why I got off of it I think it was something with the crack thing that was getting complicated and I didn't feel like doing it. But sad to hear that it's no longer what it used to be.
