The game really does not have anything for you past the first prestige point and is incredibly clicker-focused defeating the purpose of the idle part of the game. Prestige only increases the multiplier and research takes forever, with the easiest ways to boost gameplay early on is to rush the collections. The UI is also flat and uninspired and the dark mode setting just dims the entire game by a little bit without maintaining the initial visibility for the text.

Semi-idler. you need to unlock some of the auto advances first. Also very repetitive and boring even for an idle game. no real graphics to speak of, mostly text based. advance, reset, advance, ascend... repeat repeat repeat. 4/10 as far as idlers go.
