Quite enjoyable, it flows nicely with retro music or a simple tone playing in the background

Dude, I got rich haha! Put on your favorite song and never give up; you can get rich too. It’s a really nice and charming game, definitely worth buying

One hour for $2, yeah I dunno. It's an incremental that's straight forward, throw things in hole, get money, upgrade. The controls are terrible, but the environment is some liminal retro graphics thing. The game doesn't evolve though, day three you get a broom and the room adds a couple things a day, but the talent tree is quickly bought up and it's just getting things in the hole with really awkward controls.

[h1]Neat for cheap[/h1] ~[u]40 minutes to finish[/u] for 2$, +2 hours to 100% [hr][/hr]First thing that came to mind for comparison is "Berry Bury Berry", but more simplistic in visuals, progression and gameplay depth. Spawn item, throw in the hole, repeat, upgrade, pay off daily "debt", repeat. Main gripe would be "10k items" achievement, it's just unnecessary padding. It will make up 1.5 hours of 100% completion out of 2 mentioned. Sure, game got "grind" in the title, but game [b]deletes your save file[/b] upon completion, and game [b]auto-completes[/b] upon ending the day with 1M$ on balance, so if you accidentaly finish the game - gotta start from 0 [b][i]again[/i][/b]. That and another end-game achievement (finish in 10 days) is broken, im sure its caused by save deletion. [hr][/hr] For what its worth, it's fine. But unannounced save deletion is awful.

I'm sure it's got some enjoyable incremental moments, but I honestly can't recommend this. Very aware that I'm probably a Linux edge-case but, regardless, UE5 was the wrong decision, outright. Absolutely nothing visually or computationally warrants it. I don't want to spend 20 minutes tinkering just to have it scale normally, like any other fullscreen window, just because the pipeline is configured poorly.

Unoptimized and keeps crashing after 30 minutes playing.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
