Sounds like mine. Which I also posted in screenshots, since I feel I can better spam there. It's a continuation of the same code, so they do look and feel familiar.

I like how you switched up the typical idle game where you're not just sitting there watching numbers go up, the little dude is actually killing stuff. I know it is the same thing as numbers going up, but that adds another layer to it. Including the fact that you can fail to complete a wave in time, although I have absolutely no idea if that is a bad thing or not.
The thing I'm most impressed about is how you made the combat aspect of it look so clean and smooth. I am not a programmer so I don't know how hard that is to do, but it seems a fair bit above trivial to me. Well done!

Tried to get Grok to reverse engineer me a save script with infinite resources but it kept failing import lol. It parsed it just fine and pulled out all the relevant stats. I didn't give it any restrictions or suggestions for what to set levels to so it may have picked stuff out of bounds.

I've been sort of forgetting about it here and there so I'm not really "optimizing" my play, but the Rebirth option seems way out of whack. I'm 0.4% to my first diamond or whatever, and it has been running for most of the morning. Usually rebirths are a lot faster at first so you can get a jump on the next run. This seems like I might be able to rebirth next month. Unless I'm doing something wrong.

I'm at 26.2% afer 7H and 21M. So I'm not sure what moves the metric or if it is purely time based. With the icon of the one enemy I had originally assumed it was an incentive for killing or getting past a certain point, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Just went afk for an hour or so to pickup cupcakes for kids and friend's kids tonight to celebrate 1st day of class, but came back to an "AFK" message, so not sure if it autopaused which kind of defeats the puprose of an idler? Forgot to screenshot the message.
Damage kind of stalls. Been stuck around Wave 150 before I left and am not sure if just dumping everything into dagger damage will move me up or if I need to save another $1B for Wizard Master to actually make progress.
Dagger Cooldown caps at 100% even though you can still invest in the $ / second stat and eventually the x2 again at level 75. It usually (always) comes down to lack of single target damage. Witch Doctor will clear the screen in the first couple seconds then I'm stuck 1v1 or 1v2 of the green hair trolls.

Not sure, I’ve been pretty afk most of the day and not doing much / progressing since that last post. Still running and I RDP’d in to check my money, bought Master Wizard and went back to hanging out with friends at dinner.
oh, here’s the answer on the comment thread below:

You do, but phones are untested territory
The phone is probably stopping it completely when not active.It doesn't. I started with sound but it just got so annoying hearing the same things over and over for hours. It will usually run in the background anyways. Could just add a mute button, but it ended up without.
