### 1/5 — I hate this game

*2026-03-20*

One star

### 5/5 — Good fun clicker, maybe could use some balancing

*2023-02-17*

Right from the start this game is very entertaining if you lived through 1970s or 80s or 90s video games.  The animations and quiz questions are fun.

Then comes the clicker-style grind, which is good too, but eventually maybe it gets too fast and easy?  When you've already earned large amounts of prestige, just starting over and then a 5-minute session can be enough to multiply your prestige currency manyfold, even by a thousand or more at times.  When you assign points on page 3 ("arcade" being page 1) for the first time, the next time you start over your prestige will multiply by billions or trillions or something, and at that point you will very soon be able to buy everything in the game besides premium purchases (basically, you will soon be done).

So the game only lasted a few days until I had every upgrade in the game, but it was good while it lasted.
