Very nice diversion, though I did not really use the different skill fields. Proposal: Maybe a mouse-over tooltip with a short description would be better than having to select each to find out what it does.

Well, it's free. I think most negative reviews are probably because of the lack of tutorial on how to use the skill slot system, stacking multipliers etc. I found it fun. Played it through in about 4h with speedhack. It's a bit slow at the start, and a bit grindy towards the end, but worth a thumbs up overall.

Incredibly uncreative incremental game. if you've played some incremental games, you're not gonna find anything new here.

No exit button; i have always terminate the game manually from task bar. After several reality breaks i had bought additional skill points but they do not show up anywhere.

I really like this game. I remember playing the web version a while ago and I only had good memories of it. I found it on steam a few days ago and decided to give it another go. It did not take too long for me to complete the game. Of the many free incremental games I have played, this is one of the best. I think the offline system is amazing.

Mechanics are pretty messy
