Awesome price, at least seems to have a few hours of content (?), obviously designed for mobile, but works really well as a game on the side of the screen while playing another game or doom scrolling. The only thing I would get rid of is the clicking for resources- Yeah you automate that straight away, but I would rather have a purely passive game, clicking is nonsense and I would rather do something else rather than mindlessly click 8/10 (unless endgame is bad) Edit: 105 hour I hit the first prestige.. Because there is zero doccumentation or activate community, I have no idea if I basically wasted 105 hours. Its very possible I was meant to grind prestige currency first. -Once you build a dyson sphere you can prestige. -I saved up and built it all at once, rather than build the small sections. -I think this is where I made a huge mistake, I didnt grind a single prestige currency (I got 42 dark matter when I rebirthed.. Somehow?) -I am fairly sure there is some event you do to grind the prestige currency which I didnt even get to because I speed ran the dyson sphere. WHY IS NOBODY PLAYING THIS GAME AHHHHHHHHHHHHH HELP

Pretty solid one, seems like it has lots of depth to it, been playing maybe a week and approaching building my first Dyson sphere and there's still a lot I haven't discovered yet. The game is pretty idle heavy, you can check every few hours and use your resources and then leave it running again, absolute steal for the price.

Very enjoyable, and well paced for a mid-length idler. You typically just keep pushing production and energy, but scaling costs can encourage you to make interesting decisions at times. The game feels fairly well tuned in terms of balance and pacing. Very much looking forward to new updates, though I still feel like I'm early-mid game after ~5 days.
