Was alright, I'd say it's 4 stars, but if you really enjoy idle games there's an great case to be made for 5 stars. I dropped it to 2 stars though because there are several hard caps in place, which you can reach in about 3 days, to prepare for the next update... which players have been waiting 2 years for. You're unable to unlock everything that is actually available because hard caps prevent you from acquiring the necessary amounts of resources to purchase them. 99.9% offline play.

The game is quite fun. The start was a bit less idle type, but quickly became an actual idle game. I've really enjoyed it so far and can't wait for more unlocks and even the galaxies later! I know it will take a while due to the current time, but oh boy will it be nice. I've gotten as far as I can with current areas and it is great. Keep up the work, you really improved into this game! 👍

This is actually a really fun and good idle game, unlike many that can't be beaten without spending money this one can be. I do wish there were some changes like better idle rewards, at least while playing if I'm on the tube side the flask side still runs and vice versa. It would also be nice to get a better solitaire, a back button/undone or drag cards off of the top piles. The game is really good no bugs or crashes and again completely free, can spend money to go faster but not needed.
