What's New • Upgrade Milestones: Unlock powerful production bonuses (×2, ×4, ×8...) as you progress through upgrades. • Sound Mixer: Adjust each sound effect individually or mute specific sounds. Not every notification deserves your attention. • Merge Rebalance: Faster early-game progression, smoother mid and late game, and updated Prestige Point rewards. • Roadmap & Tech Stack: Adjusted objectives for smoother progression and a little less technical debt. • Better Performance: Smoother scrolling, reduced battery usage and optimizations across the game. • Japanese Support: The codebase officially speaks one more language. • Localization Updates: Improved English, Portuguese, Spanish, German, French and Italian translations. • Bug Fixes: Some bugs were promoted to features. The rest were actually fixed. Thanks for playing and for the feedback! :)

User reviews

The game cheats you

If you buy auto production up to 100milion/second… it won’t actually tick 100m/second. More like 25m/second.

Same thing happens when you scale your 1B/second.

Response from developer

Thanks for reporting this. I checked the auto-production logic and it should generate the correct amount per second, including at 100M/s or 1B/s. One thing that may make it feel slower is that the displayed line count updates every 0.8 seconds instead of exactly once per second. Contracts and the “Mobile Rush” sprint can also affect how production is shown. If possible, please contact me by email through the gear icon in the top-right corner, then selecting “Send Feedback/Report Bug” and share more details about what happened. This will help me investigate whether a specific edge case is causing the difference.

User Story

As a real life Software QA Engineer, I want more incremental games like this that feel like they relate directly to my life.

The more I play, the more I notice fun little details and references that make me giggle. Thank you for finding a way to turn my job into something fun!

Response from developer

Thank you so much! This honestly made my day! :D I love adding these little jokes about our daily work lives and sneaking software references throughout the game, so hearing that fellow QAs and developers are enjoying them is the best kind of feedback. At least in this game, the bugs are intentional... well, most of them, haha. Thanks so much for playing!

Latest update makes the game so much fun!

Theme is really great. Many funny industry jokes here, previous versions felt like game ran out of steam before it got started. Latest update solved the problem and I even reset my progress completely to start from scratch. Solo dev continues to add content.

Very fun and quite hysterical.

Response from developer

I'm really glad to hear you're enjoying the latest update and that the progression feels much better now. Thank you for playing, for taking the time to leave feedback and for supporting the game. More content is on the way :D

Lovely Little Idle Game

Bugs and issues get tackled quickly by the dev. Lovely little idle game. Gives coding vibes even to people without any coding knowledge. Hackerman! brr brr

Response from developer

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the game. I'll do my best to keep squashing those bugs before they get promoted to features! :)

Cool Game

I really like this game. The UI is inspired by Github and it's nice to look at. I enjoy it that every element and detail in the game is designed with a concept related to coding and software development. If you like clicker games and coding, you need to try this.
