Ratings and reviews

It's like there's something seriously wrong with the game's pacing, I've got almost all the achievements completed, but I haven't even beaten Tier 1 yet, and all upgrades I buy add a few seconds to the time. IMO the dev must've accidentally put an extra zero or two somewhere in the math, running the same T0 and T1 runs hundreds of times across a few days isn't fun, it's busywork. (EDIT: also, the IAP shop is expensive, yet borderline mandatory.)

I'm conflicted with some of the gamestyle. Wish there was some more idle features rather than just researching something offline. I haven't made it to tier 3 yet and have been playing for days and tons of upgrades. I do notice upgrades help but very slowly. Overall so far in the early game its fun and engaging enough. Easy to understand. Just slow moving with progression. Cost of upgrades get higher faster than you can progress for example. I'll keep playing and overall I enjoy it.

I LOVE THIS GAME! I mean it. The slow pace at the beginning might annoy a few people, but for me, it was a very nice dive into the mechanics of the game and learning what to prioritize and when to spend your gems. It drops off right at the perfect time when staring at it gets stale and becomes a more macro incremental game with the added benefit of keeping me from checking social media on my phone while I'm at work.
