I forgot why I paid for this until I redownloaded it

This game has paperclips universally

Not progressing on a background?

Seriously? That $2 seems like a biggest waste of money in a long while

Brilliant but flawed UI

Ruined by the lack of confirmation popups before destructive actions. Getting Space Exploration also needs way too much tapping, easily fixed by adding 1k and/or max options.

Don't buy the app, buy the merch

It's not the same experience as playing on the browser. I rather support the team by buying merch instead. Biggest issue is you can't be idle becuse the app can't run in the background

I was hesitant at first…

But the reviews were great and now I am addicted to this. I see what everyone was raving about! It’s more than worth a couple bucks so give it a try!!

Favorite Mobile Game

No ads, no micro transactions, just a one-time purchase and you’re set. This is how mobile games should be.

No way to save the game

The fact that you cannot save the game is a problem and leads to lost progress.

Great Incremental

This is one of the first incremental games I ever played and I still come back to it every so often. “Simple” number-go-up game where you press buttons to make numbers go up with the purpose of making the game press the old buttons for you while giving you new buttons to press instead.

As simply a layout as it is, I do wish the game had a dark-mode (I find the all-white screen quite bright) and a save-backup system so I could etch away at the artifact screen rather than be presented with a clean slate every few years when I redownload it.

Great, but I was let down

I was having a blast playing this. Slowly making my way through the universe and discovering artifacts. Then because I chose to go to the bottom right corner, the game ended. I spent a lot of time getting there and was excited for the artifact, only to find that is the one square that ends the game. I could teleport away to keep playing, but I couldn’t keep the artifact. I played for days looking forward to this goal only to be disappointed.

Génial mais

Quelques défauts comme le fait qu’elle ne tourne pas en tâche de fond, elle n’est pas très bien désignée pour iPhone et enfin, passé un certain moment, il faut un système pour acheter plusieurs drones d’un coup, même en +1000 c’est trop long.

J’ai fini le jeux plusieurs fois et je n’ai jamais vu les étapes en photo sur l’App Store??!

Svp répondez moi :’)

screen reader support

I've played the game and almost completed it before it got ported to the new engine using Unity. I'm totally blind, I was playing it perfectly on the old web version. please add screen reader support to the new version, I'm sure it can be done!

I got introduced to this years ago; can’t stop coming back to it

This parasite lives in my brain and feeds me dopamine occasionally when I watch the numbers go up. The single best purchase on the AppStore I’ve made and I will stand by that until the sun collapses or is converted to paperclips.

Maybe the best App Store games of all time, no joke

It’s so simple, but it feels like a game for the iPhone from the days where you used to actually be able to find real games for your iPhone. Now, it’s all just ad traps.

It has character and fun little things left there by the developers. Personally, it’s my favorite game. It’s not flashy, it’s not some big production non-sense circus. It’s just a good simple game that you can clearly tell the devs had a fun time making. That’s 5 stars in my book.

Ride the exponential

To understand this game you must play it under a log transform.

Great game

Please add a dark mode, and a landscape mode for iPad

Un mode MAC

Un mode MAC de prévus (affichage)

Un Classique au top

App fidèle au concept.

Possibilité de mettre en place une sauvegarde (iOS ou autre) afin de pouvoir ne pas reset le game lors de changement de device ou le déchargement de l’apps ?

5 stars, but I’m deleting it

Congratulations 👏 Congratulations for making a highly addictive game that mirrors my hopes and dreams of my own business. How I wish my business grew with such ups and downs and amazing side quests. To reach levels I could never dream of.

However I’m deleting it.

I’m spending too much time and phone battery playing this. I have a family. My kids need a present father in their life, my wife needs a husband, not someone who is constantly checking how his paperclip empire is functioning.

I’m leaving you with a 5 star review because by all accounts you deserve it. But this is goodbye.
