Cool sim

But idk why the retrain button doesn’t work on my iPhone 13? Or is there another way to do it?

Painfully slow progression

After weeks of playing the game the pace is abysmal. I’ve had lots of idle games over the years and they all provide something to DO. This one is so slow that any progress made is done during offline hours. You log in after five hours of waiting and you might be able to incrementally increase your rep rate by 0.0001% (not an exaggeration). Reviews are paid for.
