I want to love this game. It's a fun concept, but it's so bloated with the different symbols you can get that you can't actually strategize much. It might give you the watering can and the fertilizer but you'll never find a seed. it might give you the pick axe but you'll never get a geode. You get the Dwarven anvil, but never get a Dwarf. Despite the frustration that comes with the game setting you up for a play you can't execute, it's a decent enough time waster

There's menu unlocks hidden behind playing at least 10 games, and it took a couple hours for me to do that. The beginning starts to feel slow, but I am appreciating more unlocking over time. It's very challenging to beat, and to get a synergy. There's lots of items that can shape the run, looking forward to figuring out a decent strategy. Unfortunate that you seem to have to invest in 2-3 possible paths, but it often becomes your downfall if rng is particularly bad.

Incredibly addicting. Easy time waster. My current record is $20bn and I only stopped because the game lasted 6 hours and I was ready to move on. Once you unlock essences, the whole game changes. You rely heavily on RNG, luck, with a lot of strategy to influence the game. When you hit it big, it's so incredibly rewarding. However, there are plenty of rounds where you lay a good foundation for a solid run, only to miss rent by a few coins and have to start all over. It's a wild ride. Cultists FTW
