And bonus shoutout to @xlbn.bsky.social and Jaffa6 (jaffasix.itch.io) for their additional help with alt text!! Couldn't have done it without our pinch hitters 🙏✨😭

I unlocked a new "hero"! A woman character! There's no story in this game really, so I guess I get to make up a backstory for her 😄 *if* I ever have enough energy to do that

Survivor Idle Run, on the other hand!! TGCF fic where Xie Lian is constantly running and fighting zombies, and eventually, Hua Cheng joins his team, and they set up a camp where they can have some peace.

I tried really hard to come up with a TGCF AU made out of this game, but nothing I'm coming up with makes much sense :\ The best I have is "Xie Lian gets turned into a slime instead of being banished"

You level up a slime to fight enemies automatically for more level-up materials. The enemies are things like kings and wizards, so I think the player is on the "bad guy" side 😆

It's not *too* bad in terms of ads, for one of these games!

and you want to try it, what I've been using is Scrambly. I have a referral link: go.scrambly.io/7LyjWg which gives me bonuses and gives you double of your first $5, or scrambly.io if you don't want to do a referral.

No pressure, of course! I mostly want to be able to talk to people about it 😆

Well, I got $3.81 from this game before it became a "leave it for a while" game! I think that took about seven hours (though I was mostly doing other things). These sorts of things do not pay well. :')

But if you're also bored and unemployable like me (or interested for other reasons),

Interesting. In this game, it's actually more efficient (in terms of in-game currency) to close the game and leave it for 10m, then come back and claim what's accumulated, than it is to leave it open for 10m and poke at it every so often. I think that's kind of unusual for an idle game.

I've leveled up enough that I unlocked the village management section!! I love that type of game/game aspect.

Also, it goes faster if you click play on the ads, so definitely have something else to do while playing.

But I'm enjoying it! It's keeping me entertained, in combination with scrolling social media.

I'll preface this with: I do not recommend playing this game if you're just looking for a fun game to play. 😅 I'm only playing it because it was on one of those "pay you pennies for playing games" sites. I have gotten about 30 cents so far in an hour of playing. 😆

^ $45 so far (out of $350)! It means so much that we've made progress.

This ask is still active. Paying the bills late would still be very helpful, and making *any* progress toward the bills is good. Thank you to anyone who's helped so far!

That just means the destruction needs to be creative.

Hope u enjoy!! It's short and silly and I had lots of fun writing it
