    The grinding in the game starts off manageable but quickly becomes repetitive and demotivating after the first hour, appealing mainly to completionists who are willing to persist.

    • “It's an okay idea, but after the first hour or so, it becomes really grindy and you don't get much motivation to keep going (unless you are a completionist, which I guess I am).”
  • stability

    The game concept is solid, but stability issues arise as the numbers scale into the billions, causing significant lag and impacting performance.

    • “Good concept, very buggy. Once you reach higher numbers (in the billions), the game becomes very laggy.”
