The gameplay is engaging and features classic idle mechanics that promote continuous progression without the typical reliance on microtransactions for boosters. Players appreciate the depth of the mechanics, including time travel and various upgrades, which enhance the experience and keep them invested. However, some feel the game's price does not reflect its value.
- “There's something about the gameplay that pulls you in.”
- “You keep going, making your way further through the levels, gaining more powers, until you unlock time travel, which is essentially a 'prestige' mechanic.”
- “The gameplay is not scaled to sell you boosters, so the progression is solid all around, instead of having a jump at the start and then petering out quickly to sell you stuff - as is the standard idle clicker way.”
- “Pro's: fairly classic idle gameplay that just keeps going and going and going.”
- “Eventually you unlock challenges, time travel upgrades, blood upgrades, power masteries, rotational powers, and so many more powers (as well as even more mechanics!).”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed feedback; while some players appreciate the absence of ads and premium currency, others express frustration over the introduction of ads for revives after a recent update, especially in a game they paid for. Overall, players are divided on whether the monetization strategy enhances or detracts from their experience.
- “Despite other reviews saying otherwise, there are no ads or premium currency.”
- “You get all 5 rewards, and there are no ads for revives even when it takes 10 minutes.”
- “Was having fun with this simple idler, when I saw there was an update that suddenly started offering me ads.”
- “Firstly, why is a game I'm paying to play (one that's been available for free but I bought to support the creator!) offering ads to let me revive fast?”
- “I just learned that to get ads for at least bonus damage, you need to have your window in a phone-like aspect ratio, aka skinny.”
