Scritchy Scratchy

“Going for the 100% was super grindy; the absurd costs for prestige upgrades were just tedious and not fun or interesting, and frankly, they can't even be justified.”

“The game's prestige points/exp system is a bit undertuned; there are many really expensive things you will have definitely beaten the game before unlocking or maxing out any of them. It takes a few extra hours of grinding just to max out all prestige buffs for the achievement, many of which aren't even useful or meaningful.”

“However, achieving 100% involved some of the most tedious gameplay I have ever experienced in this genre: hours of repeating the same run 10-20 more times with little difference aside from slightly better numbers. For example, one prestige upgrade requires about two max runs to gain a single level. Unlocking all prestige upgrades took hours of repetitive runs with no new content.”

“The game's music is incredibly repetitive; I had to mute it and play my own.”

“The mechanics are pretty basic and the music on loop got annoying fast; main game felt good at least and didn't take too much grinding to get the main ending or most of the achievements.”

“Why is there only one soundtrack in the entire game that plays on loop?”

“Only thing that's a little negative is the storyline is a little bare.”

“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.”

“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.”

“The art style is really charming, with handmade pixel art that looks like someone just messed around in MS Paint for an hour; it's cool, adds a nice quirky feel to the game overall and works well with the concept presented.”

“There is almost no replayability after you complete it, which I did in under 15 hours.”

“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.”

“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 the run 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 and the soul machine set to max & win the final chance ticket in less than 30 minutes after prestige. Now I can confirm none of this worked since I did all the prerequisites in 19 minutes and still don't have the achievement. Presuming the ending wait time for the phone guy is 10 minutes which it is not; it's about 5 judging from the clock on my phone when I scratched the final chance ticket, but none of this worked. Your 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 conclude that players have gone above and beyond for this achievement and it still didn't work. The worst part is I'm not the only one. Since the first attempt at this achievement should have worked, I started digging in the community discussions and found people in the exact same situation theorizing what else is required for this achievement besides the time and why the ending feels so buggy.”

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

“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.”

“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.”
