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.

Crashes often, doesn't save your game. EDIT: After several updates, the game IS playable now, however, I'm still crashing every hour or two, often enough for my phone to warn me about it. Design wise, the game is decent, a bit complicated for what it is, and you'll definitely need some sort of guide because the game doesn't offer much info on what you can do and how what you do affects other factors of play

Great on web, and free there, too! I was happy to have such a great, albeit small and simple game with me anywhere without ads and without a connection, but it just crashes so much. 3 times in 15 minutes! I haven't lost any progress, but it's very frustrating to have the game shut off when you're racking up ops with quantum processing or during a crucial stock-market moment. A simple fix to that, + a dark mode, and it'd be 5 stars.

What’s new

Fixed a bug where game did not save as intended and progress could sometimes be lost on crash or exit.
