Demo Update 1
6 days agoFirst major demo updated has landed!I'm thrilled that so many of you have enjoyed Fireworks Incremental and I'm also very thankful for the feedback you've sent.The game is in a pretty good state but it could also use some balancing changes as well as quality of life improvements and that's my goal for this update - to make the game feel and play better.Here's a full list of changes that I've made over the last week since releasing the demo:Balance and pacingUnlocking Prestige Hall is now faster thanks to reducing 100 BPS milestone requirement to 80 BPSUnlocking Tier 2 building upgrade is now faster thanks for reducing 250 BPS milestone requirement to 100 BPSEarning Prestige Points is now 10% fasterThese 3 changes are meant to make the game a bit faster and rewarding.

Existing Observatory progress also gets migrated to the new system, so you can just keep playing as you normally would.Quality of life improvementsResources, units and upgrades are now revealed gradually as their associated systems are discovered (this should reduce the feeling of being overwhelmed by too much information displayed at once)Arcane Overl...
