    Hey, Ivan!

    I have needed a chicken and a dragon for 2 months and since the latest update, got the chicken last week and now just got the dragon too to unlock the last gene - Jack Frost.

    I think only Jetpack Joyride has occupied my time more than this game.

    Can't wait for the next update.

    Good luck getting that cow :D

    Golden Hearts are earned when the heart button is next to a pair of clones that will result in a new gene when combined. Their order IS important, for example a pair with a Botanist on the left and a Vet on the right WILL produce a golden heart, however a pair with a Vet on the left and a Botanist on the right WILL NOT produce a Golden Heart. The "repositioning thing" refers to a feature (bug) that allow you to position the heart button on different rows within a house by repeatedly entering and exiting the house until the heart button appears next to the couple that you want to use. Ivan has stated that they plan to "fix" this feature in a future update.[/QUOTE]

    So if an accountant and accountant are next to each, that would generate a golden heart? How are you supposed to know which clone is to be on the left and which is supposed to be on the right?
    And if you are requiring a certain animal for a mission, you have to get a full set of gold hearts then you'll get an animal you definitely require?
    Please correct me of I'm wrong, this is confusing.

    Aaaaarrggghhh. I accidentally leveled up TWICE by leaving my iPad on and leaning on the screen while helping my son with his homework. I now have about 50 spare land and spent my stockpile of $300mill. Wish there was a way to level down.

    I did the same thing about a week ago. I now have 35 spare land :( It would be nice to be able to level down! Even if it cost 5u or something like that.

    Expand is the only purchase that doesn't have a Yes/No confirm in the upper part of the screen.

    Not sure if that is intentional or not by the developers.

    I recently restarted a level 10 church/casino game on my ipad because I was afraid of that happening. Now I'm level 7 and can afford 2 or 3 accidental land purchases w/out messing up my game. Its slow going though getting about 250 cps right now. I had 1400 on my old game.

    My iPad 3 battery went from 80% to 64% in ~2 hours by keeping the game in space rather than on my buildings.

    Still seems like a fast battery drain rate.

    I have done the same thing. That is why I am staying at Level 8.

    Ivan, I have an idea that might help the issue of animal selection in missions. The new lock feature is perfect for reserving animals you do want, but we still can't easily get rid of animals we don't want. You seem averse to the idea of a selection system using the animal gallery. So, how about replacing the single-tap lock/unlock function with a pop-up dialog with three choices: Lock, Use Another, and Clear. The Use Another button would prevent that single animal species from ever being used in this slot, so the random generator would pick another species. Clear would reset back to the original state.

    I was describing yesterday how I've spent weeks using the vet hospital quick surprises every day, spending all my coins trying to get a Stag to complete the last mission gene. I collected multiples of every other animal while doing this, but the one I needed, the stag, was still missing. Yesterday was my first day of going back to collecting hearts from houses and after spending some time on it, at least 20-30 prizes I'd say, I got that darn stag! I unlocked it with one gold heart and 8 red hearts. That one gold improved my odds enough I guess, plus a bit of luck. Now I've completed all professions, it was very gratifying but I don't think I'd stick it out this long again if they add more of these types of missions in the future.

    I have Monkey Business in Missions at the moment. I have one each of chimp, orang and gorilla locked in. I just got a chimp thru heart surprise and it's in my animal bank which clearly shows two chimps, but the stupid thing won't drop into the mission. I've closed the app twice, still not happening.

    I have encountered that too. Unlock the chimp, close the mission, exit the HQ. When you go back in, it should be there. Locking an animal to a position seems to forbid even multiple animals of that type from being used.

    Does anyone know what the golden stars in the missions mean? It is definitely not related to the rarity or number of the animal. I have had the stars on commons through the ultra rare purples. I have had the star on critters I have one or many of.

    I may or may not have found a bug. When I'm doing spins and making new clones at the same time, sometimes they finish at the same time and only one of the two dialogue boxes come up. Now, I know because it's easy to check this that then the casino blocks the clone, the clone still arrives. But just now I had the clone block the casino. I clearly didn't get an astroglass item or u, but since I don't know exactly how many of every animal I had, I can't tell if and what if anything I did get.

    It would be good:
    a) If anyone knows if I did or did not in fact get something and
    b) If the game could throw up the two boxes one after the other rather than having one just not appear.

    We know there's a limit to coins you can have, do we know if there's a limit to u?

    Probably the same limit as coins, which would be absurd to reach with Utopium.

    Let's see -

    2,150,000u / 1000 * $24.99 (IAP cost) = ~$53,800

    I'm pretty sure you could get a character named after you in the game if you spent that much to test this theory.
