Ratings and reviews

Adding to the choir here - this would be hands-down a 5* game if it didn't crash every now and again (usually every 10-15 minutes). While you don't lose a lot of progress, it automatically reloads at the last save and those seem to happen about once a minute or so. It's frustrating and it's easy to lose track of exactly where you are. Fix the crashes and this would be a no-brainer 5* timekiller with no ads and nothing to buy to progress.

I'm annoyed at the requirement of 70k ops for the drones. It's far too easy to lock yourself in a spot where your progress slows to a crawl, only being able to throw away the past hour or two and restart *or* spend several more hours playing on. Please let us convert processors into memory, or something else to let us go into Stage 2. I've been stuck in Stage 1 for ages.

Played this a ton a few years ago, back when crashes and performance were pretty dodgy. Had a lot of fun regardless, but now, playing it again with the new updates, I can confidently recommend the game to others. Everything has been cleaned up, and you can make paperclips to your hearts content. Can't wait to put another 100+ hours in!
