I don't see a lot of fun things in this game, on the other hand, there are small adds, and this app is working in the background counting how many clicks have you done. It's weird.

I love the music. Great app just for that if nothing else. Check out Bongo Cats, great similar fun.

Not bad, fun desktop idle game. UI could be simpler though

Its great. It absolutely makes me want to do something similar as a fun little side project. :D Id like to see a few more things in the drops, credit rewards, vinyls, and vehicle specific performance upgrades, or even whole cars as rewards, but I assume these are things that will probably come later anyway. All in all, it is a fun little idle productivity app and I appreciate the controller input addition recently added, id only like to see other peripheral input customization so I can get my HOSAS axis/buttons and stuff like my mouse wheel counting for input while browsing or doing other scrolling while working. Anyway, I especially appreciate the jukebox and driving, even if the driving part needs some work to make it more playable. All in all, its an easy recommend. Pull the trigger!

Sekiro cheap: what our price record shows, and what to avoid

Search Sekiro cheap and the results are keyshop listings, not a store discount. Our three-month price record explains the gap, and why so few live offers changes the advice.
