  • gameplay
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally considered fun but suffers from bugs and overly simplistic mechanics, leading to slow progression. Players express a desire for more gameplay options and interesting features, especially given that it is a paid idle game. While the artwork is appreciated, it is noted to be reminiscent of other games.

    • “The artwork looks nice and seems to be either traced from another game or inspired, adding to the overall experience of the gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay is enjoyable, but I would appreciate more depth and variety in the mechanics.”
    • “Too simple mechanics and too slow to progress.”
    • “The artwork looks nice and seems to be either traced from another game or inspired by it. The gameplay is alright, but I just wish for either more options gameplay-wise or some more interesting features in a paid idle game.”
    • “The gameplay is alright, but I just wish for either more options gameplay-wise or some more interesting features in a paid idle game.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is described as simple and somewhat underdeveloped, with pacing issues that become particularly noticeable around mission 6, leading to a slow progression. Reviewers suggest that improvements in pacing and the addition of a dedicated story mode or ranked progression could enhance the overall experience.

    • “There is a bit of a story, but it's simple.”
    • “I think the pacing needs some tweaks (seems to ramp up exponentially which causes issues), but I could see something like a story mode or ranked progression being a thing.”
    • “Once you reach around mission 6, things become abysmally slow.”
  • monetization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game primarily relies on ads, which some users feel is not significantly different from traditional pay-to-win models or microtransactions found in other free-to-play games. Many players believe that there are more developed free-to-play options available that offer better value.

    • “There are free-to-play games on here that are more fleshed out than this, even those that are pay-to-win or have microtransactions.”
    • “I understand that there are free clickers, but I think that they make money on ads, which is really not that different.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is initially engaging, particularly with the novelty of using the cursor as a ship, but this amusement quickly wears off as the gameplay progresses.

  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users have noted that performance issues arise when asset usage reaches its peak, indicating that the game's optimization may not effectively handle high asset loads.

    • “I do see that when assets peak, performance starts to suffer.”

  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
