### 5/5 — really good

*2026-04-28, version 1.0.26*

its just fun. its not too grindy unless you want it to be by skipping the corruptive researches. im normal.

### 4/5 — Whats w the obsession w taps?

*2026-04-25, version 1.0.26*

Like bro almost every upgrade is taps this, taps that. Tap build still aint even attractive without 2 spell slots for multiplicitive bonuses. And then hold tap is randomly 1/10th what a human can do w 2 fingers

### 4/5 — would reccomened

*2026-04-01, version 1.0.26*

never forces ads down your throat. can watch an ad for a x2.5 money boost for 4 hours, but its not necessary to progress at a reasonable pace. rlly good game, way better than most of the ad-ridden junk on the app store

### 5/5 — Question on tap farming.

*2026-02-22, version 1.0.25*

do you think if I have my phone between my butt cheeks, I could farm lifetime taps while I'm doing other things?

### 5/5 — great game!

*2025-12-09, version 1.0.24*

Overall a great game! Got a new phone, lost a years worth of progress (Around 300 days), but to be honest, im fine with starting over! I love this game. So much.

### 5/5 — Sweet Spot

*2025-09-16, version 1.0.22*

This game hits a nice sweet spot that I like in idle games.  It allows you to live your life and put it down without much consequence but allows for strategic and logical thinking on how to optimally progress when one has time.  I bought the 4.99 2.5x boost which does not seem to be required to enjoy the game but I got it mostly to throw the developer a few bucks.

### 5/5 — Simplicity at its finest

*2025-09-06, version 1.0.22*

A super minimalist idle game with one goal. Make number go up. 

The Grimoire theme is perfect for those who’d like a less distracting experience.

The scaling is very well done, a goal is always in reach with the right sequencing and a little patience.

### 5/5 — What a nobis game

*2025-08-17, version 1.0.22*

This is my favorite incremental nobis game I’ve ever played it is full of numbers and limbs and I enjoy this keetadonian

### 5/5 — My favorite idle game!

*2025-07-04, version 1.0.20*

As some critical reviews have said, I used to think this game was stupid because it got to be too difficult to advance at a certain point. However, you really just have to get creative with all the different upgrades! If you’re ever stuck for more than a day, you’re probably doing something wrong

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-06-05, version 1.0.20*

If you enjoy incremental games this one is for you
