It's quite hard to start a review here.
This game is completely user unfriendly, from every point of view.
We begin with a retro-style screen and a loud MIDI music, annoying. The game, even if it's made with Unity, has no configuration screen and it opens in a small window - you'll have to click on "game" (why not "play"? XD) and then choose from continue, new game or load game.
Finally, you'll be on the main game screen and there will be a settings icon on the right side - turn off music and effects, and put the game in full screen since in windowed mode you're not gonna see anything.
Well, and that's the game.
There's a cube and sort-of a house and nothing else, apart from a menu on the left side.. I mean, a HUGE menu made of tons of upgrades (8 tiers, the upgrades range from multipliers, storage size, everything related to clicks to cooling speed, heat resistance and so on). There's really a TON of upgrades, but they all revolve around improving clicking and small upgrades that in the various tiers are different just by their name (cooling speed 6, critclick multiplier 4 and so on, all measured in bytes).
You'll have a Bit counter on the upper left side of the screen and well, you've got to click.
Yay, it's a clicker game and still I've got to deeply understand what appeal do have games that require you just to click on the same spot forever.
Anyways, clicking on the cube will net you bits although a red bar will go on overheat if you're going too fast, and of course the upgrades related to cooling down the system and such will affect this thing.
The whole game revolves around something like the hardware of a computer, not my cup of tea exactly, but there's nothing about informatics here - just retro graphics and tons of things to click, with some lines of upgrades to read and eventually buy.
8 bits will net you a byte and so on, you'll start with a bit per click and you'll be able to upgrade some things as I was saying about that crappy motherboard or whatever it is.
The big upgrades menu is completely user unfriendly - it will not tell you anything apart from a green dot on the things you've already bought. You won't be told which things you can afford and so on, so you'll have to districate yourselves through the byte system and well I'm an historian and really I'm not fond of these things.
But apart from this, you'll achieve pretty much nothing.
And no, don't be fooled by the "soon trading cards" - this game will never have them xD
It's a small, stupid 2€/$ clicker that will never have enough playing time, reviews and so on.
And the save feature is really bugged - chances are that you'll log in and have to start everything from scratch, as you can read in other players' reviews too.. it's not happened to me only.
I forgot to say that there will be a much slower purple bar on the left labeled "info" - it will fill with clicks of course, and well, I still have to figure out what it does. Like the "popularity events", which will allow you to compete in timed clicking for nothing.
I mean, this gave me a headache.
This game is just BORING. Terribly boring. The upgrades are hundreds, and they all do the same three things. There will be only a stupid cube and you'll be forced to click on it and watch the heat bar. I think that the info bar fills and stops at a multiplier of 8 or something like this.
Anyways, it's bugged. It's slow, really slow. It has no progression, the events are just stupid clicking tasks with a timer, and the rest of the game is based on clicking on a cube for a lifetime and getting upgrades netting you more points per click, less cooldown and things like that.
I don't like clickers in general if they're without a sense, but I think that even clicker lovers won't enjoy this bugged mess.

This seems like an incremental game made by someone that doesn't like incremental games. There's no automation to the clicking so it's all completely manual. That by itself wouldn't be such an issue if the progression felt at all interesting or satisfying but it doesn't. All the tiers of upgrades are identical and there's no visual progression as you level up either.

There's also the 'Popularity' system which seems tacked on. 'Events' happen which require you to click within a time limit and if you complete enough of them your Popularity levels up and you get some points to spend. Spending those points isn't very clear either. Two of the three upgrades just can't be upgraded with no indication as to why (a level requirement? not enough points? Who knows!) and the one upgrade you can do doesn't seem to actually do anything (at least as far as I could tell).

Maybe the worst part is that this is just plain boring. A lot of incremental games will have some silliness or wittiness but this is just a little cube you click on (a lot) and that's it. No charm, no flair, no nothing. I got this half-off during a sale and still feel like I payed too much for it.

I suppose the only positive thing I can say about it is that I didn't encounter any bugs or save issues that other people seemed to run in to. So at least there's that.

Game does not save, resolution is not customizable. NOT recommended until these issues are addressed

EDIT: the default resolution has now been reduced enough that it is playable on smaller screens, with an upcoming update to allow resolution customization. However, the save function does not work still. There are also issues with the Job's.
