Good game1 found this helpful
A solid idle game with about 3 to 5 hours of content. The mechanics are fun enough to stay engaging for the entire time, and there are endgame super-upgrades that make it fun to replay. The artstyle stands out as unique and entertaining.1 found this helpful
Surprisingly fun. It's a great game to play while chatting with a family member on the phone. Made the awkward silence less awkward.1 found this helpful
A good incremental with quite engaging gameplay. It resolves around launching a gun ball on gears, generating more currency, which multiplies how much each gear hit gives, increases the number of gears. There is also the classic "reset, but with more upgrades" trend, but they add more variety for gears and for the thrown gum ball. It provides a necessary change to the gameplay loop, which would become very stale otherwise. However, some upgrades enable receiving a set amount of money when executing a specific action (like hitting a special gear) which do not scale very well. Because of that, there is a very clear plateau before getting the next relevant update, which forces the player to keep farming. I think this is my only complains. I really like the raw drawn style, the sound design is quite good (specially when the gum ball is hitting a gear when next to a wall, such satisfying sound) and throwing a gum ball downwards it just fun. Game is worth it, since the gameplay itself is fun, many updates add some needed novelty and is quite short, was able to 100% with playtime just a few minutes above 3h. Not very long, for the 100% quite fast1 found this helpful
a spirtiual succseor to nubbys number factory all you need to know is by 30 minutes of playtime the sound effects are enough to make your brain vibrate and feel like a bus window(in a good way) the game is short but a good length for an incremental game and well worth the money, the ascension progress in rather inconsistent, in a great way keeping the game a entertaing, brain tingling ride from start to finish. the gameplay is simlar to nubby's, shoot ball at thing, get point. and unlike some sad competeing ai"assisted"(slop) games this game was made with the undying milk of human joy and love1 found this helpful
