Not the best demo of fly.dev if it can't handle a HN spike..

Sorry, this is my first time on fly.io. The connections were hard-coded to 25. I've increased it.

Seems broken on Firefox for Android.

I think the server is just getting hammered. Not loading in Brave or Chrome on Android.

:sweat:

Sorry, had the default connection limit of 25 and it's all websockets, so anybody after that couldn't connect. It works for me now.

Ha no worries, happens to the best of us. It loads now, but I'm still not sure it's working 100%. I images loading, but also a bunch of unrendered text as well as a "start new game" button that doesn't work.

I will admit I've never tried it on mobile. Thanks for letting me know, that hadn't even crossed my mind.

it's loading but needs more instructions or intuitive interface to know what to do. How do I win/lose?

Thanks for trying it!

There is no winning/losing condition. You just keep on printing money :) As you print more, you unlock new mechanisms to build and technologies to research. I suppose it's all about the journey.

I hit ~5.6 Decillion before I closed the tab. The rankings and technology names were cracking me up, excellent work!

Is the code available anywhere?

Thanks for the comment :) This made my day. I suppose at the end of the day besides reaching the highest number, reading the descriptions is what the game is about ;) I think you reached the "end" because there isn't really anything after that.

I don't have the code open source. But it's basically 1 gameloop LiveView with a big list of assigns, and 2 long lists of technologies and buildings with a bunch of helper functions.
