Thanks for your work! ### 4/5 — Excellent game, but needs more progress *2026-05-25, version 3.9.0* 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. ### 4/5 — Clean and fair priced *2026-04-22* 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 **Developer response:** 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! :) ### 5/5 — Really good *2026-03-26, version 3.3.1* Fun game not serious or competitive good way to spend some time ### 5/5 — Quality game and you respect my privacy? *2026-03-15, version 3.3.1* Take my money <3 ### 5/5 — Satisfyingly clicky and smooth *2026-02-28, version 3.3.0* The clicks and ui are great. As a developer myself, I like the idea of « Sprints » being timed missions. Very accurate. Good game, I can see this is a work of passion. Can’t recommend this enough. ### 5/5 — Addicted *2026-02-24, version 3.3.0* I have no idea how i found this game or when I downloaded it, but it’s so good. I’ve never wanted to tap my phone before like this lol saw I could buy something on here and clicked so fast just for pure fun this dev put in front on me. Thanks ### 5/5 — Great game so far. *2026-02-18* I love the game so far! I will admit I have gotten frustrated on a couple of the sprint challenges because I was certain I could make it but it felt like the requirement might have changed when I went back to try it? Either that or I’m dumb. Either way. Fun game, keep up the work, I’m just dumb and I’ll figure it out. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm thrilled to hear you're enjoying the game. Regarding the sprint challenges: What’s happening is that as you purchase updates to generate more auto lines of code, the requirements for those challenges scale up to keep the gameplay balanced. However, the rewards also increase proportionally. So, while the bar gets higher, the payoff for clearing it is much bigger too. Keep at it and thanks for playing! :D ### 5/5 — I’ve beat the whole game *2026-01-10, version 2.3.0* So I’ve beaten the whole game can you add more to it please because I’ve maxed out everything ### 3/5 — Short well made game *2025-12-22, version 2.3.0* Good looking game with nice sounds and style, developer actively improving and expanding, the game needs somewhere to go once you start prestiging but I’m sure updates will come in time ### 5/5 — Good *2025-12-07, version 2.2.1* Solid incremental. Some advice to the dev: if you plan to nerf perks, you should offer a refund to players who invested in them ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The game cheats you *2026-07-17, version 3.13.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Progress slows to a crawl *2026-05-01, version 3.6.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Vibecoded *2026-04-21* purely vibevoded, ai slop **Developer response:** 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 :) ### 1/5 — Vibr Coded? *2026-04-15, version 3.6.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Very short but well made. *2025-12-16* Update: the latest update looks nice but the backlogs addition is bugged and cannot be completed. Every time you upgrade, the requirements move above what you can complete. I supported the dev with a few dollars, I hope the game doesn’t just get abandoned where it’s at, it seems like a beta rather than a completed game. Extremely short, you’ll hit the ‘end’ of the game in about a day, maybe a couple plays. There’s no ending it just doesn’t go any farther. I’ll update my review if the game gets an update before delete it. **Developer response:** Regarding the backlog mechanics: the task requirements and rewards scale dynamically with your automatic rates to ensure the game remains challenging and the tasks worth it. However, the requirement is supposed to 'lock' the moment you accept a task and it starts the timer. This means buying upgrades during an active task should not increase the requirements for that specific task. If you see the requirements rising even after you've accepted a task (when buying upgrades), please report it again, as that would be a bug. Thank you for your detailed feedback and support! A new update with more features and content is coming very soon. ### 1/5 — Very short but well made. *2025-12-11* Very smooth nicely made game, I supported the dev with a few dollars, I hope the game doesn’t just get abandoned where it’s at, it seems like more of a beta than a real game. Extremely short, you’ll hit the ‘end’ of the game in about a day, maybe a couple plays. There’s no ending it just doesn’t go any farther. I’ll update my review if the game gets an update before delete it. **Developer response:** Thank you for the review and the support! I'm glad you enjoyed the gameplay mechanics. I hear your feedback loud and clear regarding the length. Rest assured, the game is active and updates are in the pipeline to add more depth and playtime. I hope the next version changes your mind about deleting it! ### 1/5 — Beyond laggy *2025-11-28, version 2.1.1* If you tap more then once per second the game is unplayably laggy, tapped a bunch audio was laggy. Nothing was happening. Re open the app to see I have 40 more then I did when I closed it. ### 2/5 — Merge tab bug *2026-05-15, version 3.8.0* 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. ### 2/5 — Decent but repetitive *2026-03-17, version 3.3.1* It’s a decent idle game, it looks good and has a good ui layout but everything is so repetitive and relies heavily on tapping when you first start each prestige. The prestige and skill trees lack any impact. You could not invest anything and you probably won’t be able to tell the difference between before and after using prestige points. It’s a decent game only for 2 prestige’s otherwise the game gets boring and the rewards aren’t worth repeating the same task that looks and plays exactly the same with the same rewards that becomes less useful as you play it more. There is a lot that can be added to this game, the theme looks good so I hope the developer heavily updates this game. ### 2/5 — Ends in a day *2026-01-10, version 2.3.0* I really wish I could give this game higher. But it’s really “code earn upgrade”. There’s no repeat after repeating 6 times. Which takes like 2 hours? I don’t know if it’s intentional for some reason but there’s a cap after 6 prestiges where you earn only x6 stars and + 5 points. So the game is over because who’s gonna play the same game, with the same stats, over and over for a few coins for after several prestige’s increase things by 3%… It’s not even artificially lengthening the game. The game IS over after 6 prestige’s for any sort of incremental player then, because if we’re not seeing growth than there’s nothing incremental. The programming is good, the looks, the way it functions. This is just a 2 hour game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — come on more language！ *2026-08-22, version 3.14.0* Love this game，but there is no chinese version，plz give a chance for fans in China to play this ### 5/5 — User Story *2026-07-16, version 3.13.0* 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! ### 5/5 — Latest update makes the game so much fun! *2026-06-18, version 3.11.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Lovely Little Idle Game *2026-06-09* 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 **Developer response:** Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the game. I'll do my best to keep squashing those bugs before they get promoted to features! :) ### 5/5 — Cool Game *2026-06-07, version 3.9.0* 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. ### 5/5 — No ads!!! *2026-05-24, version 3.9.0* Very highly appreciate the zero ads ### 5/5 — No data collection + no ad’s. *2026-05-19, version 3.9.0* 10/10. 5/5 stars. No complains. No data collection. ### 5/5 — Fun but content runs out *2026-04-28* 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. **Developer response:** 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 ### 5/5 — t *2026-04-09, version 3.6.0* completely no ads, no lag, and actually kinda fun to play, worth supporting ### 5/5 — I don’t typically review… *2026-04-07, version 3.6.0* 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?) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
