« Boring. Way too much idle time between minor upgrades, then having to wait for resources to build up again where you can do nothing at all to speed up the process other than hovering your mouse over a single area. »👎 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 8 h played« I've had my fair share of idle and incremental games but I wasn't able to enjoy this one. Way too much time between minor upgrades effectively forcing you to constantly loop with little to no difference in your runs. »👎 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 2 h played« Gonna be honest, the music is killer, but progress slows to a GLACIAL pace after a while and it just isn't fun. Numbers stop going up, I stop enjoying it. »👎 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 4 h played« It is well presented and runs well but I did not enjoy the game and its systems. I think it is very bland, I would recommend a hard pass. »👎 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 1 h played« You cant 100% this game until they fix the achievement "Passive-Aggressive", i've tried this on 3 resets. it does not work. »👎 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 17 h played« Fun game. Experienced no bugs while playing. Doesn't need an auto clicker just mouse hovering. »👍 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 19 h played
