really good pacing although the last health AND health reduction upgrades were completely unnecessary since fully upgraded [spoiler]proxy and threads[/spoiler] made me untouchable anyways and the only thing that mattered is if i will withstand just 1 hit from a firewall (which is done by buying just 1 level pre-last hp upgrade) AND FOR 100%'ING THE GAME YOU HAVE TO [spoiler]ACTUALLY DELETE YOUR SAVE FILE[/spoiler], that's a new one for me, i feel bad for those who didnt max out everything before pressing the button to end the game (even though it does say that its a point of no return).
Pretty fun, decent ideas, engaging story, might need some QoL and late game balancing.

NetDive is a game that tells the story about the evolution of Artificial Intelligence. You take on the role of a sideways heart, the avatar of a forgotten algorithm that was implanted into the system for possibly malicious means. The goal of this sideways heart is to train. To train on all data to determine humanity. This determination also determines the conclusion. Data takes the form of tinier, similarly-sideways hearts. These tiny hearts are ripped from the colourful remains of shapes that you must eviscerate. This is tastefully depicted in a dopamine-intensive kaleidoscope of colours and sounds, with chill lounge music playing in the background. Before the determination, you can trade your tiny hearts in for increased capabilities that will enable your avatar to generate and consume tiny hearts quicker, increasing your throughput of delicious data. Delicious tiny hearts. In addition, as some sort of dynamic algorithm, you can reset yourself to hone your efficiency and throughput to even greater heights! Those tiny hearts will note be safe from you! It should be noted that this story about the evolution of AI diverges from our own, as this game offers a singular path to those who consume enough tiny hearts. [spoiler]This divergence portends with a glimpse into what could be, were malfeasance the means by which society is to progress.[/spoiler] But worry not; with the consumption of enough tiny hearts, [spoiler[you and you alone can determine humanity, and the future of your human race[/spoiler]. Only with enough tiny hearts. As if the training of this little algorithm were but the slaughter of countless humans, whose biomass fuels inevitable progression. Oh, these tiny hearts. How I love to collect you. All of you. 10/10. Looking forward to the sequel. SQL? Game train brain. bzzt
Внимание: настройки графики очень гибкие, можно отключить фильтр если он раздражает. Неплохая idle игра с интересным геймплеем, но со странным балансом, где некоторые ветви прокачки - имба, а другие за ту же стоимость почти бесполезны.
Lovely game until you finish and have to restart to get the rest of the achievements if you didnt

NetDive 是一款結合清版射擊(Shoot 'em up)以及放置增量(Incremental game)的遊戲。 放置類型遊戲,大多需要使用滑鼠點擊來賺取遊戲貨幣;NetDive 的玩法則有所不同,玩家需擊倒「敵人」來獲取遊戲代幣,擊退「BOSS」則可以前進至下一關。搭配一個未知的技能樹,可以嘗試各種被動技能以及開場條件:增加攻擊火力、撐篙血量/防禦力、增加敵人數量等等。其中一些關鍵技能,能實現攻防一體,或者大幅降低「重新訓練」的成本,推薦一定要優先點出來。最後就是農貨幣時,選擇適當的關卡,讓每單位時間收益最大化。玩家可以多加嘗試並找到平衡點。 「你能夠理解究竟是什麼造就人類嗎?」這道問題,加上隻字片語背後表示的新聞事件,能感受出這款遊戲除了 AI 科普、類神經網路的介紹,也想包含社會關懷與自我反思的企圖。推薦給想聽點音樂放鬆一下,或是想體驗一下如何訓練 AI 模型的你 (?
A fun incremental that took about three hours to get 100% achievements in. Gameplay is nothing too special, if you've played one game like this then you know how the gameplay goes in all of them. But the music was chill, upgrades were satisfying, prestige wasn't too annoying to deal with, and I was a fan of the story and got lowkey emotional during the epilogue. Good times.
War ganz ok, bissi wenig zu tun bzw. nur UpAndDown hab dann Idle angestellt und bin da damit durch.
What makes a human, human? Great little time killer with a cute, minimalist story attached. Definitely recommend for any incremental fans!
