Keeps shutting down

And it’s been around for quite a while…

Amazing

Great game, fun concept, genius development, just fantastic. Wow.

No real longevity

This seemed cool starting out, but after playing casually for only a couple days I've reached a ceiling. I've prestiged 3 times now. Before my last prestige, I'd reached the Observable Universe, but never waited the ridiculously long time to unlock it. Now I've capped and am progressing too slowly for the game to continue to be at all interesting. It takes 5-10 minutes to be able to add one single point to Nova, and I'm not gaining any more helpers or points. And the rate at which we gain money offline is too slow to be of any real benefit.

I'm skeptical that there's much past this next hurdle. There's no benefit whatsoever to increasing your network cap to more than 45 networks, since you can't increase their bonuses more than 3 times in upgrades.

It'll be entertaining for a few days, but then it'll be time to move on to the next game.

Fun game, but...

Got the game a few days ago and I am enjoying it, but I’m assuming the prestige system is kinda broken. After playing for about a day I did a prestige and gained a few thousand points (still while working on downloading Earth). Since then I’ve bought many, many more downloaders and I’m waiting for my Observable Universe to complete. That said, I’ve only accumulated about 500 in prestige points since the reset. Not sure if that’s by design, but it is frustrating to be making more money than before and not seeing it reflected in prestige points. I do look forward to any and all updates though.
