Cannot recommend this one, sadly. There's a certain Je Ne Sais Quoi that's missing from it to win me over.
It's an idle incremental and to it's credit it you can play it either way but it's sort of too short to justify the idle portion and doesn't have any sort of Prestige/replay loop. But at it's core it's just... not fun?
The game starts off slow and never quite ramps up. The various balls say they have powers but they never feel truly impactful. Everything is always just a little bit slow, a little bit clumsy.
You never quite get to the point where you feel like "yea, now I'm curving out into the power!" and that's something I think all the great incremental games (especially the 3 to 6 hour range ones) have. Either the game needs to justify itself with a cute/fun story, engaging mechanics, or an addictive/satisfying game loop. And this does none of those things, honestly.
It just feels sluggish. It's a decent time waster for the price but there are just far better idle games at this price point where the upgrades feel energized and impactful, the gameplay feels gripping or thrilling, and the dopamine flows. There's no dopamine here. The increments go up but they don't feel like they matter, each new ball just feels meh and unimportant, and it all just... it's kind of congealed where you'd want it to feel solid and intentional.
I'd give it a Neutral if I could, but honestly just not enough oomph to feel worthwhile to me. A solid effort but a mediocre outcome, respectfully. Not a bad game, just not one worth buying if you've got other options.
