    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is solid, offering around 7-15 hours of engaging incremental mechanics with a good depth of progression and a well-implemented prestige system. While the game is generally well-received, some players noted that certain mechanics and terminology could be better explained, and there is a desire for additional content and features. Overall, it provides a satisfying experience for its price point.

    • “Solid incremental game which offers about 7-8 hours of gameplay (until you've collected all achievements).”
    • “I thought it was a good idle game, good depth, good prestige and double prestige mechanic.”
    • “Progression is tight, Steam achievements are simple and doable within ~15 hours, and the mechanics are really good.”
    • “Some wording could be better and some mechanics could be better explained (i.e. what 'incremental' upgrades are without having to click a button in the research screen and what 'quick research' does).”
    • “Would love to see some more game mechanics and more endgame content, but for 3€ it was okay.”
  • monetization
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features no microtransactions or ads, which users appreciate, especially for an idle game. However, players note that progression can slow down significantly, and some in-game achievements are tied to ads in the mobile version, which are absent in the Steam release. Overall, the monetization model is seen as favorable, allowing players to enjoy the game without constant interruptions or purchases.

    • “No ads, no microtransactions, so that's definitely points in its favor.”
    • “No ads, no microtransactions, so that's definitely points in its favor.”
    • “There are a few bugs, but no long waiting times or microtransactions.”
    • “I wanted an idle game to kill some time with, but didn't want to be hit with ads and store purchases.”
    • “Progression slows down considerably, and there are even still help files and in-game achievements linked to ads, which are of course not included in the Steam version.”
    • “Try it for free on Android if you don't mind ads, or give the dev the money here; they deserve it.”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for being addictive and enjoyable, enhancing the overall experience and helping players relax. However, some users feel that the soundtrack could benefit from additional tracks and note that there are moments of silence that disrupt the flow. Many players are eager for the developers to make the soundtrack available for download.

    • “The music is amazingly addictive.”
    • “The music is really nice, but it could use a few more tracks in the rotation, and there are some stretches without any music at all.”
    • “Devs: please make the soundtrack available for download!”
    • “A good game all in all, passes the time and the music helps me chill.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game, particularly related to the last achievement of reaching 1 billion peers, to be excessive, often requiring them to let the game run in the background rather than actively engage with it. This has led to a perception that this achievement is overly tedious compared to others.

    • “The last achievement (1 billion peers) was a bit too grindy; that's the only achievement where I couldn't do more than just let the game run in the background.”
    • “The last achievement (1 billion peers) was a bit too grindy; that's the only achievement where I couldn't do more than just let the game run in the background.”
  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report that the graphics are so demanding that the only way to earn rewards is to disable all graphic and sound options and let the game run in the background continuously. This suggests that the game's performance may be heavily reliant on lower graphical settings for optimal play.

    • “The only way to earn anything is to turn off all the graphic and sound options, and leave it running in the background all day and night.”
