Fun but slows down too much
I’ve spent quite a bit of time playing this game. I enjoy the gameplay loop and think it’s definitely worth a try if you enjoy idle games.
I’ve progressed quite far and my biggest gripe is that it slows down quite a bit and progressing feels very unrewarding since you don’t gain much in terms of speeding up future progress. After reaching this point I bought the no-ads package. I would say that it is incredibly worth it despite the price. All of the rewards tied to ads still occur and you gain their benefit without watching ads once you click on them. My thought was that they would just vanish or require you to still watch ads considering you choose to interact with them, but they do not.
I was trying to unlock the Garage portion displayed in the game, but it seems like it just doesn’t actually exist. It is a part of the UI but that area was never actually developed and turned into anything which is a shame. I feel like there is nothing else to work towards. I only see marginal progression now in 3 hour increments as the “challenge” comes off cooldown and I can earn significantly more money than my factory could generate even over multiple days.
The cost of upgrades scales way faster than the earnings do. Stats of the employees and machines are quite vague. It makes it difficult to discern what is actually strong and worth using. Their power jumps seem inconsistent so it’s also difficult to create a line of your best machines. I wish the stats were more clearly explained. It would be nice if you could also create presets that you could apply to a line and it would place all the machines there. Or be able to swap one line with the other instead of having to move each machine separately.
Active playing seems very pointless. There isn’t a boost in progression speed by playing the game instead of letting it idle. The only time this is true is immediately after selling the factory and restarting. Once you get past the initial set-up again you might as well just wait until the challenge is available again.
