This game is fun, calming, and filled with positive messaging. It's also the only game that successfully and consistently puts me to sleep. It's relaxing yet engaging and for some reason it can battle my bouts of insomnia. Watching ads is entirely optional, as is paying real money – you can play just fine without. However, I recommended you do at least one of these things because the devs deserve it! It's been a literal life-changer for me.

Fun for a bit... then the progression just stops midway through the fourth chapter. The 'optional' ads needed to progress are all a minute long and turn off my audiobook, and mostly only activate very short boosts. I paid for the 5 days of ad free gameplay... but even then it doesn't help much with progression. Good idle games let you get 2x or more bonus per prestige. here you're lucky if you get 10%. The game has just basically stopped... bit of a scam

A nice reprieve from other games shoving ads in your face constantly. No ads are shown unless you yourself prompt them by pressing a button that says, "watch ad?" Of course, just not having forced ads is nice, but the game itself is very satisfying. There's an easy to understand progression system that rewards you for your time, the gameplay is simplistic and satisfying, and while you have the option to speed up progress with money, it's 100% optional and not predatory. Definitely refreshing.
