You start the game and the entire UI blows up in your face. This is a cardinal sin of incremental games as the features should always be slowly revealed over time once the user had time to familiarize themselves with the core features.
But moving on: The next thing you realize is a popup telling you to click a button ~280 times. Nothing happens during this time and no further explanations about the UI are given until you've done your toll and clicked ~280 (!!!) times. Imagine other incremental games starting off with THAT many clicks before anyhting happens. Rediculous.
So after that, the friendly popup comes back, telling you to click another button a bunch (which lowers the amount of the first button). After having done so, you finally unlock what the genre is known for: automation. Everyone is happy. Except you automate the second button. Meaning that the first (which gets lowered every second now since you automated the second) has to still be clicked manually.
After many, many, many more clicks i unlocked further automation for me to manually click the first button still and i had enough.
This is a super shallow review, you can see by my ingame time that i didn't have time to evaluate any of the gameplay features. So maybe make up your own mind. For me a game with such a terrible opening doesn't peek my interest to find out what lies beyond the next corner.
EDIT:
As you can see, the developer already responded to the criticism. To be fair, i don't think the issue is fixed as you now only have to click 70 times instead of 280 and the automation of the first button costs too much and is too slow (at least at the start) that you will still always need to manually click the button. The automation also breaks if that button drains to 0, which happened to me and i quit again.
BUT: while i still wouldn't recommend to play the game as i see too many issues, it is a good sign that the dev evaluated the situation and acted upon the criticism in mere hours. At least this means that the game has a chance to become something i might like. But again, as i lack the time and the effort to find out, i will leave this review unchanged.
