EDIT: With the most recent update, the last two achievement's requirements were lowered down and a new system of autosaving was added. The autosave feature, as far as I have heard from other players, has not fixed the random loss of progress that happens to players, but if you manage to keep the game open at all times and 100% it, I would say this game is alright for a simple 100%. However, I still don't particularly think this game is actually good and the fact that the dev doesn't seem to want to fix the progress loss, I won't be recommending this game and my review will stay negative.
There was a big update to Poop Clicker, where the graphics where updated, steam achievements were added and a lot of the mechanics were revisited and made better.
Where previously it might have taken you a maximum of 3 hours to complete the game, with all of it's in-game achievements, now it takes you hundreds, or even thousands, of hours.
That would be a good thing, but sadly, the hours are mostly just boosted by the last two achievements that require you to get 50 billion poop per second and 10 trillion poop per second.
If the game was better optimized that wouldn't be an issue, but I am currently at 100 million poops per second and I have played the game for 300+ hours. I also use an autoclicker for the majority of that time. I am sure that will tell you exactly how annoying getting the last two achievements will be.
There has also been a weird bug that made me, and many others, loose their progress within the game. I had played the game for 50 hours when I one night closed the game and went to sleep. As I woke up the next morning to open the game, my progress was at 0 and in-game achievements showed at none as well.
I created a discussion about it in the community hub to see if someone could help me figure out why this happened. The ini file of the game is crypted when the game is closed, so you can't edit it manually. The dev commented on the discussion that it was a "anticheat measure" but as we all know, with steam there are way more ways to cheat if you are desperate enough.
To me it felt like the developer was not taking the issue of multiple people loosing their progress seriously so for that reason, and the ridiculous hour boosting achievements, I am going to have to change my review to a negative until further fixes are made.
