Scritchy Scratchy

“The last 3 achievements were extremely grindy and boring to acquire due to the cost of some of those upgrades you have to purchase for the max out skill tree achievement.”

“However, doing all achievements might have been some of the most tedious gameplay I have ever had in one of these games; it is hours of doing the same thing over and over again with no difference but a slightly better number (you need to beat the game like 10-20 more times to get all achievements and that is an underestimation, with each fast run taking 15-20 minutes and slow achievements taking 30-1 hour, it is extremely bad. I love getting 100% in these games so I sat through it, but I wouldn't recommend doing 100%, just play the game to the end and you will have fun. The achievements took it down from an 8 to a 6.5 just because of how unnecessarily tedious they were (one prestige upgrade needs like 2 max runs to get 1 level in. The unlock all prestige took hours of repeat runs with nothing new between them).”

“The achievement to max out the skill tree is the most tedious and dull achievement to get; it requires you to get tens of thousands of jp (the resource for the skill tree) when you can only get around 2 thousand a run when you're aiming for not only a jackpot on every ticket on every catalogue but a super jackpot.”

“Music is not good.”

“The gameplay and soundtrack can get repetitive.”

“The music towards the middle-endgame did however get too repetitive, even if there were a few different arrangements.”

“There isn't way too much of a story. You start off with a 'day job' as a dishwasher, making a few bucks for washing dishes.”

“However, there's indeed little story and focusing only on gameplay makes the story kind of flat.”

“The story makes no sense, because aside from the interest rate on the loan, there is no indication that the person on the phone is evil in any way, let alone working for a megacorp until very far into the game.”

“It's pretty sad that I am the target demographic.”

“I hate to give it thumbs down as it was engaging and fun to beat, but 10 years ago this would have been a free flash game just with worse graphics.”

“While the visuals are great, it leaves much to be desired overall, and there are plenty of better options out there for this price point.”

“There's no replay value there though in current state, so a one time experience probably; I don't really feel compelled to return for just some achievements.”

“However, every run is the same once you've got to the end game which discourages replayability.”

“There is no replayability, no finesse to create unique runs, concentrate on builds, and no achievements as they are only in the demo.”

“I also played on a Legion Go and every time you tap the game lags, freezes, or crashes.”

“Buggy, missed out on the speed run achievement because when I won the 'claim' option on the final chance ticket wouldn't do anything for some reason after I gave the corporation the ticket.”

“28/3/26 - As much as I would like to say something positive, I just can't. Fix the ending to the game. Getting this 30 min achievement shouldn't take days. I was reading the community discussions, and people are still trying to figure out why it's completely bugged to its core or why the 30 min achievement just isn't working. Part of those discussions were you have to have both the jackpot stars & the soul machine set to max & win the final chance ticket in less than 30 mins after prestige. Now I can confirm none of this worked since I did all the prerequisites in 19 mins & still don't have the achievement. The ending and the 30 min achievement are just completely broken. Whether it's bugged or maybe not doing everything perfectly, it shouldn't have taken me days doing everything I can, exhausting every possible reason why the achievement isn't working, only to arrive at this conclusion. That's the most egregious gaslighting, making the player think they aren't doing everything required to get this achievement, only to find out that they have gone above & beyond and it still didn't work. Worst part, I'm not the only one; others are in the exact same boat, theorizing what else is required for this achievement besides the time and why the ending feels so buggy.”

“No issues with performance, game runs well but there is one glitch where the scratch coin will not go away and you have to exit to the menu before you can do anything else.”

“Not sure exactly what caused it (maybe autosaves?), but occasionally the performance would just tank for a couple seconds.”

“It's alright, but anyone who has ever optimized something like 'prestige points per minute' will find that this game is incredibly simple.”

“Once you are able to start with the automation for buying, scratching, and selling the tickets, the late game becomes not really that engaging enough for your full attention, but it's something to do while you're waiting for your unskippable ads on your YouTube video to play through.”
