### 5/5 — Fun game!

*2019-03-17, version 0.6.7*

Please update. Keep it alive!

### 4/5 — Potential, but progresses much too slowly

*2018-03-20, version 0.6.7*

This is a solid idle game with some real depth, but it’s seemingly designed to move incredibly slowly unless you want to shell out $10 (at minimum) to speed things up. There’s no option to watch ads to add temporary multipliers, so you either spend money or you deal with the slow progression. 

I’m not above spending money to support an idle game, especially indie development, but $10 right out the gate is a big ask. In my experience most indie devs ask for $3-$5 at the beginning (because it’s a small risk), with options to spend more for more rewards later. The $10 paywall is just going to drive impatient / frugal players like myself away.

Definitely a solid game though. Make it more accessible (ad multipliers, cheaper support options) and you might have a success on your hands.

EDIT: Thanks for the response. Dev communication is a great sign and goes a long way with me. Updated score to 4 stars. I’ll keep an eye on updates, if things improve as implied, I’ll bump to 5.

**Developer response:** Very helpful feedback!  It will likely result in exactly what you've asked for.

Thank you so much for playing!

### 5/5 — I like it!

*2018-03-16, version 0.6.7*

The new update is good. 😊
