The gameplay is characterized as a standard idle-clicker experience with a focus on increasing numbers, which may not appeal to all players. While it lacks the traditional "wall" mechanic found in similar games, it offers a fun and engaging loop that encourages repeated play, bolstered by frequent updates that promise deeper mechanics and strategy. Overall, players find it enjoyable and worth the investment of time and money.
- “I do recommend this game since I totally got my money's worth of gameplay out of it.”
- “There are updates pushed out almost daily right now and I can't wait to dive deeper into the mechanics and strategy of this game.”
- “The game is really fun, a fantastic time waster with some prestige mechanics that make you itch for 'just one more game'.”
- “I think the gameplay loop of 'make number bigger' is not going to satisfy every player.”
- “The 'wall' in idle games is a core mechanic to the genre, and it's missing here.”
- “A likable game, though it is an idle-clicker type game, so not much to say about it, fairly standard endless prestige (though not much progress through the game's mechanics at the time of review).”

The game is generally considered to lack replayability, a common trait among idle games, with its prestige/ascension system serving primarily as a progression speed booster rather than offering new experiences. Players express a desire for more replayable content, indicating that the current design does not encourage multiple playthroughs.
- “It lacks replayability (as nearly all idle games do) and the prestige/ascension system works similarly to the one in Cookie Clicker, where it's more of a progression speed booster than anything else at the moment (devs actively admit this), but it really is a solid game.”
- “To me, there is absolutely no replayability.”
- “What I'd like to see: replayability.”

The graphics in this game are described as lackluster and unremarkable, failing to impress or enhance the gameplay experience. Reviewers note that the visuals do not contribute positively to the overall appeal, making it feel like a repetitive and uninspired iteration of similar games.
- “It's the six millionth version of 'click here to get more food, to get more citizens, to get more wood, to get more buttons to click on.' It's not the worst one I've seen, but it's an absolute waste of time if you are not looking for yet another obsessive compulsive disorder experience, without even having any pretty graphics.”
