Thank you so much for the 5 star review! I'm really happy you're enjoying the game. Chinese localization is definitely on my list and I hope to add both Simplified and Traditional Chinese in a future update :) Thank you for your support!

pretty good game

The UI is very pretty and good to read icons look nice and gameplay loop is cool but could use some work even tho it sounds really dumb but i think if the gameplay loop would be something else then holding down a button it could be more interesting but still good game

Thank you so much for the feedback! I’m glad you like the UI and the overall concept of the game. I totally understand what you mean about the gameplay loop. I’m always open to ideas and feedback about new features or mechanics that could make the game more interesting, so if you have anything specific in mind, I’d love to hear it! :) Thanks again for playing and taking the time to share your thoughts!

Needs a volume menu

Love this game, just wish i could turn down or off the tap sounds if i wanted to. 5 stars if you can turn several sounds down individually. Thanks for your work!

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

Excellent game, but needs more progress

I really love this game so much, no ads is the cherry on top. However, i think that progress could be better if the tap multiplier doesn’t cap at 6 when you merge PR. Trying to complete the tech stack feels a bit too sluggish and tedious this way. Give us more things to do inside of the game like limited time events every day. Please keep this in mind for next time.

Merge tab bug

I am a big idle game fan, and I enjoy the game so far, but it’s literally unplayable with this bug. Anytime I complete a Pull Request merge, the game stays on the tab to pick a new challenge, and I have zero way of exiting. It just sits on that screen. Even when I exit the app entirely it reopens on that screen.

I will change review once this bug is changed, but right now it is actually game breaking.

Thanks for reaching out and reporting this issue! I'm sorry to hear that this bug is breaking the game for you. When you are stuck on that screen, does selecting a new challenge not allow you to proceed and dismiss the view? Either way, I will work on a fix to add a clear option to skip or close that screen so you can choose a challenge later and keep playing. I'll get this sorted out as soon as possible, and I hope you can fully enjoy the game once it's resolved! :)

Progress slows to a crawl

Started out promising but then after a few prestige’s, the gameplay really slows down. Nothing much happens in between prestige’s and I don’t feel any sense of progression with the mediocre boosts to early-game upgrades, even with the paid 2x boost.

Hi, thank you for the feedback. I'm sorry the progression feels slow. I'm currently focused on adding more content and dynamism, especially for the mid to late game, along with new mechanics to make the experience more complete. These improvements are a priority and will be available in an upcoming update. I appreciate your patience as I work to improve the game :)

Fun but content runs out

Theme is really great. Many funny industry jokes here, only problem is that the gameplay loop never changes… most idle games I’ve played (and there have been a few), keep adding elements and changing how you progress forward. This game does not do that at all… at least as far as I know and I’ve played for a month or so.

Thanks for the support! Glad you like the humor. New content and gameplay shifts are definitely planned! Since I manage the game alongside a full-time job, updates roll out a bit slower but they're coming. Thanks for the patience and the review! :D

Clean and fair priced

Idle games are a weird genre I’m not really into but for what it is, this is an amazing game. Super clean and efficiently developed and therefore already better than 99% mobile games. On top of that fair prices (for a mobile game) and no ads. Gladly supported the developer even tho I don’t personally like the game

Thanks a lot for the review! Honestly, it means even more coming from someone who isn't really into idle games. I've been working on this since last year and it’s been a huge challenge since it's my first game. I used to play a lot of idles so I wanted to build something I’d actually enjoy, a game that feels fair whether you decide to spend money or not. I'm glad you noticed the effort. Really appreciate the support! :)

I built this app natively with SwiftUI and I've been developing and refining it for a long time. If you have any actual suggestions to improve the app, I’d be happy to hear them :)

Vibr Coded?

I can’t prove it but looking at the UI and some of the minor styling bugs regarding centering of elements and the code button animation. I can smell that it’s vibe coded, 1 star on principal.

I don’t typically review…

But this game wow. I was just looking for a dumb game to pass time at work but this game hooked me in such a good way.

Best incremental game I have played in a very long time.

Great job to the Dev(s?)
