Fun, short incremental game.

A fun and simple incremental game. Good balance and good progression.

Dude!

X10 the skill tree. More buffs. MORE BUFFS!!

Fun game.

So I quite enjoyed this however the three dollar price tag just feels a bit much. The markets flooded with incremental and this game is arguably too short. I would suggest trying a pay what you want system with this game to see if it's successful because I think it could be. Id personally spend a dollar.
