About this game

What players are saying

▼ Not recommended 0 hrs
Not very fun. Only interactive component is the upgrade choice, which is behind an experience bar timer which gets slower and slower. What makes this even worse is that there is a significant bug: if you let your upgrade choices pile up to more than one, the game still resets it to 0 making you lose the other upgrade points.
Good luck if you let your game idle for quite a while, as the next point will take ages due to the increasingly higher experience amounts. Better to just reset the whole stage at that point.

The game should really have an active component. Allow you to manually make rolls, or at least something else that's not just an upgrade choice that you have to wait longer and longer for.

The game is also missing basic quality of life features:

  • It doesn't have (sound/video) settings while in a stage.
  • The resolution change doesn't give any feedback/confirmation or way to back out
  • The sound effects are not great, and almost function like an alarm rather than engrossing you in the game.
  • You can't back out of the upgrade window in a stage and are forced to make a pick.
  • Experience bar shows the amount you get without the multiplier. The multi or exp bar should show a calculation of the amount * multi when hovering.

i would give this a 8/10 for idle game idea and a 5/10 on execution, you have a very idle game like painfully idle but you have to upgrade certain things to make the idling worth it, its a fun time waster and seeing the odds go from the millions into the double digits is really amazing feeling but i just wish there was a littlre more to do like a way to press a button to make the attempt bar fill faster? idk im enjoying it

Good incremental game really, but I feel like the upgrades are not helping much, and are too expensive as you go forward. Still a nice few hours to spend :) good job!
