### 4/5 — Balance prices

*2021-03-16, version 0.50*

Good game but make late game basic tech cheaper

### 1/5 — Horrible balancing

*2020-03-05, version 0.50*

The point of a good incremental/idle game is for your ability to amass points/wealth/power to increase as the challenges increase.  This game does not do that.  No improvements scale with the costs, while the increase in costs for each improvement increases exponentially, as the costs increase not with each level, but with fractions of a level.  So, you reach a point where you must spend on the order of hundreds of billions of units to improve your earnings by one.  Absurd.

### 2/5 — Fun for an Hour

*2020-01-19, version 0.50*

Great start to an idle game, but you quickly hit a wall that would take hundreds of days to overcome. There’s no reasonable way to get your beginning tech to 100 so you can unlock the final tier. Just not going to happen anytime soon without buying upgrades and that’s not something I am interested in.

### 3/5 — Ancient age

*2019-12-12, version 0.50*

I love idle games especially ones about tech. This game has some potential to be really great and you guys as developers seem to actually know English unlike other developers and somewhat respond to the reviews which is a plus. But like basically every other review for this game to get past 3.5 stars you need to fix the amount of tech upgrades you need to get transportation etc. also when you upgrade something it should go by levels. 1-100 etc. you guys have a weird system where it says you’re upgrading it “ten” times but it really only goes up one level so idk if that’s the problem with not being able to hit 100 easily but it’d definitely help because I haven’t played an idle game that makes you “upgrade” a tech 10 times before it actually hits that next level.

### 1/5 — SamPitts74

You are a butthole

### 2/5 — Fix this man

*2019-10-29, version 0.50*

It’s impossible to reach the last tier in ancient age. Costs end up being way too high. There is no way to earn gold or restart to get higher income like other idle games. It was fun while it lasted.

### 4/5 — How

*2019-10-14, version 0.50*

I had no where near 100k when I went afk for like an hour and I came back with 36 quadrillion dollars!! Is that a glitch or what XD

### 2/5 — What’s the problem

*2019-10-10, version 0.47*

Twice I’ve had to restart the game because I’d have plenty of birth rate and then Id upgrade a few times and then all of the people vanish and I can’t get them back.

### 3/5 — Would be a good game

*2019-10-09, version 0.47*

Currently you cannot advance past ancient age. The last three techs in ancient age are currently impossible to unlock. Techs that would be beneficial like education and tools impact birth rate so severely that it impacts your income, and the techs that do benefit you don’t give you enough to get those last three. Once you hit the billions in points, that’s as far as you can feasibly for.

### 2/5 — Not very good.

*2019-10-06, version 0.47*

It’s a little fun at first but some of the required upgrades to advance actually hurt your production. But I had to quit playing when the final 3 techs in the first age had such absurd requirements to unlock. Literally went from a few minutes between unlocks to at least a few days.
