The gameplay features a simple yet decently deep mechanic with two prestige systems, but overall, it lacks significant depth and excitement typical of idle games, offering few rewarding incremental upgrades. While players may enjoy initial fun, the experience can become repetitive and less engaging after a short period, especially after reaching the endgame. Despite its limitations, the low price point makes it a worthwhile experience for casual players.
“Simple mechanics, decently deep.”
“I really like the idea of incorporating ultra-fast rebirth mechanics into the games I make, so I'm happy I played.”
“I had fun for an hour or two until I beat it, then it gave me a flash point instead of all the upgrades I had (like a secondary rebirth mechanic) and it was no longer interesting, but yeah, I had fun and it was only $1.49, so I'd say it was well worth it.”
“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.”

The graphics have been criticized for lacking content and needing an improved layout for the graphical user interface, which some users find to be overly simplistic.
“The graphics could use more content and a better layout for the graphical user interface; it's literally effortless.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, with little incentive to continue after a few resets, as there are no new achievements to pursue.
“Tedious and nothing new to achieve once you have reset a couple of times.”
