### 1/5 — Amazing game but one question

*2025-07-08, version 1.10*

So I love the game I gave it five stars cause I only have one problem with it. I'm at sulfer for grinder, and tin for material, but still don't get any thing from Rebirthing. I don't know what to do if this gets solved, I will write another review saying it's better💜💜💜💜💜💜

### 2/5 — Furnace doesn’t work.

*2025-04-28, version 1.10*

Not sure about the furnace tab. I have purchased materials up to Barium but it will only collect in the graphite part of the furnace. No bonus from furnace when I prestige either. Makes the game confusing and frustrating because it seems that it does nothing. Tutorial is no help.

### 4/5 — UI tips

*2025-03-02, version 1.10*

Love the game so far but it’d be so much better if the screen had more real-estate (space). Make the buttons and bars smaller and hide some of these buttons by adding them under a menu (drop-down) button. 

Basically making the whole UI more compact/smaller will be just perfect! 

Also, a bonus tip; if you can, add more sound effects such as rock crushing and friction sounds if you have the time. 
 :)

### 5/5 — Enjoyable simple game

*2024-12-04, version 1.10*

I’ve been playing this for like 8 months now as a slow burner game, I enjoyed it! I would love to maybe see an update or added new features but I know it’s not as simple as that but brilliant free game WITH ZERO ADS!! Absolute rarity now days ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 1/5 — Prestige not working

*2024-10-13, version 1.10*

I love this game so much but the prestige isn’t working for me I’m not getting anything I still love the game

### 5/5 — Worth Playing!

*2024-10-02, version 1.10*

Loving it, the Prestige option alone makes this game worth playing. But having to grind and earn the chances and Gems makes it better! Thank you for also not forcing ads just to play, very appreciated. And I’m happy to watch for the dmg boost and free 500 gems every half hour. I like to play this while I meal prep ^_^

### 1/5 — Does not start

*2024-05-28, version 1.10*

Game opens but stays at the opening gear spinning. Left it for 30 minutes and no change.

### 1/5 — Game consistently crashes!

*2023-12-24, version 1.09*

Can’t get past the sodium stage on the grinder. Anytime I move on to the next it crashes my game and closes it completely and forces a reopen of the app which does not save my progress. Has happened about 10 times in a row.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2023-09-23, version 1.09*

It is crashing right on start up. Doesn’t get past the loading gear screen.

### 1/5 — frozen game

*2023-09-15, version 1.09*

Game was good until I tried opening it and it showed me my offline rewards but is frozen on that screen and no way to get out of it. game is now unplayable. 0 stars
