### 1/5 — Slow progression and confusing

*2026-02-18, version 1.03*

Even at the first enemy I couldn't defeat it and making variants to increase my max stats still wasn't good.It took an unbelievable amount of time to make another tent.Also,very confusing and hard to understand.

### 2/5 — Autism Heaven (When It Works)

*2024-08-17, version 0.69*

Pros:
Lots of stuff to do
Lots of stats to balance
Overall autism Heaven

Cons:
Time requirements. I have more than 1e7 (almost a year, not including hard resets to optimize my growth) of sacred time racked up and I still am not consistently seeing any growth
Flat growth for time travel is objectively horrendous. There's little to no growth potential beyond 1e5-ish rhythm and is a hard cap that doesn't seem to be bypassed with grinding alone. As of now, my growth has stagnated and I'm heavily relying on ad bonuses to progress without the time travel prestige
Auto buy is broken for talent fragments. All fragments get used while none of the stats get added up.
Timer page seems to be completely worthless except in early stages of a run. Max time starts growing at impossible levels. where am I supposed to get 500,000 (1e12 seconds) years worth of time??? I'm not a literal time traveler lol

Overall the game has phenomenal potential that's been seemingly abandoned due to the overwhelming number of bugs that exist in its code.

### 3/5 — Update iOS requirements

*2024-06-24, version 0.69*

Cannot use on older iOS running above 12

### 1/5 — Too many bugs!

*2024-06-17, version 0.69*

This game has so much potential, but it has too many bugs!

### 4/5 — Confusing

*2023-06-29, version 0.69*

Small problem but,When I clicked on it it was a lot a bit confusing unless I read it wrong I think you should make the whole explaining the game thing a lot more simpler

### 2/5 — Confusing

*2023-05-31, version 0.69*

Nothing happens - even after pressing everything, a lot! You’ll be needing a degree in Quantum physics to make any sense of this game & that includes the tutorial.

### 4/5 — Decent time waster

*2023-02-21, version 0.69*

My one gripe so far is that i cant seem to reset the amount of talent points i wish to spend. It only goes up and up until it hit infinity. Now everytime i want to spend my talent points im basically dumping it all into one stat rather than dispersing it where id like them to go.

### 1/5 — Bad game

*2022-12-28, version 0.69*

Stupid game. Tutorial is not helpful at all and it is very hard to learn where to find the upgrades and mechanics. Would not recommend.

### 4/5 — Pretty good but seems abandoned

*2022-10-24, version 0.69*

Lots to do here but no updates in a long time is sus.

### 3/5 — Survivor.io texture

*2022-10-23, version 0.69*

I found a survivor.io texture in this game.
