The gameplay is characterized by simple yet decently deep mechanics, featuring two prestige systems; however, many players find the overall mechanics to be shallow for an idle game, lacking significant incremental moments that enhance the experience. While some enjoy the initial fun and value for the low price, the lack of engaging upgrades post-rebirth diminishes long-term interest.
“Simple mechanics, decently deep.”
“I used cheat engine to speedhack it like I do all the idle games I play and I had fun for an hour or two until I beat it. It was only $1.49, so I'd say it was well worth it.”
“Plus, I really like the idea of incorporating ultra-fast rebirth mechanics into the games I make, so I'm happy I played.”
“Beyond that, the mechanics are really shallow for an idle game.”
“There's really nothing to look forward to -- none of those big incremental moments where you get a key upgrade and the gameplay somehow changes.”
“Simple mechanic, decently deep.”
