Just like literally every other idle game, this game never picks up the pace and is LUDICROUSLY grindy. After 7 hours, I feel like I'm still progressing as sluggishly as I was when I started. There's apparently bosses and cool stuff in this game? 7 hours in and I have never seen anything like that. I had one brief story interaction out of nowhere, and since then the game's pace has slowed to that of a snail moving through the thickest syrup known to man, against the wind.

But wait! You can skip all of the boring grinding by simply paying for a little pick-me-up from the in-game store with real money! That solves everything! This game is banking on you getting extremely bored and buying the booster pack(s) in order to temporarily be NOT bored. Scummy micro transactions over proper solutions a problem that plagues all idle games (that I know of.)

This game also has the stupid Roblox simulator thing where in order to get special bonuses and boosts you've got to "ascend" and start ALL over. I hate that man. It's such a lame way to pad out the player's play-time and """fix""" the progression problem.

Of course, there COULD be something I'm missing. Some magic button somewhere in the game that would solve all of my problems. Maybe ascension is the only way to really gain any forward motion (without micro-transactions). But ascension is always going to be a slow climb back up, only to eventually restart again. It's extremely unappealing, especially when stopping playing the game is also an option.

Perhaps I'm fed up with the game because I didn't play it as intended. I didn't play the game idly while doing something else. But if I'm doing something else, why would I want to play the game? Why not put all of my attention and focus into whatever else I'm doing? Maybe some people's brains are wired in such a way that they need distractions like this? Sort of like a stress ball? I just don't get it. Maybe it's simply not for me.

It's just RNG and strategy, but there's just enough strategy involved that it isn't too frustrating to lose (At least to me.) I got a lot more than I expected out of this game, maybe you will too.

I didn't like it.

If you're unfamiliar with this game and only know it as a meme game, trust me, it is way more than that. Genuinely fun and strategic with great atmosphere and a lot of replay value. Highly recommend.

When I first wrote this review, I wanted to just wait for the final game. But the final product sucked! Still don't play this version. Play Hello Guest or Alpha 1.
