Ratings and reviews

It's fine. Progress is annoyingly slow. Actively playing is discouraged but idling is also discouraged because of resource caps; it's a weird mix that necessitates checking frequently (like every 15-30 minutes) but doesn't give you much to do every time you do open the game. It starts promising but quickly becomes a chore. Also, it isn't that deep. The "choices" you make are mostly small bonuses, and there's an optimal meta you should be following unless you enjoy wasting time.

Requires an outrageous amount of active attention for an idle game. Can only bank two hours of progress, and most of your resource caps are too small to even last that long. You need to be checking in on it more than once an hour to make any progress at all, and that's before you unlock starcharts which are basically golden cookies but mandatory for progress. At that point you're almost required to be actively watching at all times or you stall completely. Which defeats the whole point.

Fantastic Game! All the mechanics and upgrades are so well thought out and detailed. There are no ads or any pushes to pay to play after the initial purchase of the game. The amount of time waiting for resources is very reasonable and you can play for long periods or let it sit, it is not anmoying in any way like most apps nowadays. I have been playing this game for years now, and I'm still constantly finding new things. It is never a grind. Please give it a try
