I want to recommend this game because it's a kinda fun and moderately satisfying One Of These Sorts Of Games. But the endgame is poorly thought out and executed. You'll have your skill tree completely filled out, your next challenge will be something that seems impossible now because you have everything unlocked (but in reality all you have to do is [spoiler]start a run and then end it immediately[/spoiler]). So you prestige a few more times, and then... suddenly, that's the end of the game. Now you have Infinite Mode unlocked, and a few challenges left to do, but why? You've already unlocked everything there is to unlock, challenges just give you more currency that you don't need. Also, performance issues, for a game that shouldn't have them, given the scope of what it's graphically and computationally doing, and given how powerful my PC is. Not only that, but visibility culling isn't quite right, such that grass blades pop in above and to the left of the screen as you move in either of those directions, but not to the bottom or right. With a bit more polish and thinking through how to wrap the game up and tie a bow on it in the end, this would be a solid One Of These Sorts Of Games. But, as it stands, it's only okay.

The steam page looks inviting, the art looked promising. The gameplay loop isn't really that involved/interesting. Fully finished 100% at 3hrs

I mean, it has a good concept, but the game ends as soon as it starts getting interesting. The progression system gets to the point of unlocking idling, then you just click two or three buttons in between runs a few times and the game is over because you've both unlocked everything and there's no more necessary player interaction. The early game "idler/clicker slog" where you start to familiarize yourself with the features just prior to some automation is literally 80% of the game, as the rest automatically plays and has no further depth. I wish I could recommend the game, but games like this with 50x more content are already free.
