The gameplay is engaging and features unique mechanics that distinguish it from other idle games, with a focus on solid balancing and gradual unlocking of new options. While there are microtransactions available, all content can be accessed through regular gameplay, ensuring a fair experience for free-to-play users.

“The game is fun and has some interesting mechanics that set it apart from other idle games.”
“Excellent clicker game, with new gameplay options unlocked over time.”
“They spent the time and money most devs put into crappy flavor text, animations, and 'world building' and spent it on good mechanics and solid balancing.”
“Hello, I've been playing the game for about a week now and have noticed a mechanic not working the way I think it should.”
“They're pretty much going the same route as CS:GO, putting in tons of options for you to spend money, but nothing that improves free-to-play gameplay.”
“A decent game, it will take a while to grasp the mechanics, so don't bail too soon.”

The monetization model of the game features microtransactions, but all purchasable content can also be obtained through regular gameplay, ensuring no paywalls exist. While it is effectively free-to-play due to daily rewards, some users express concerns about pay-to-win elements and the lack of originality in the game's design.
“Also, while there are microtransactions, everything you can get by paying you can also get via regular gameplay, so there is currently no content that is behind a paywall.”
“Effectively free-to-play despite the in-game purchases, courtesy of daily bonus rewards.”
“This game contains not one original idea, not even the slightest hint of creativity, offering nothing more than the standard slow grind incremental clicker game with in-app purchases that so many have done before it.”
“Only downside are the microtransactions that are pay-to-win and there is no real limit to that.”
