A Game About Feeding A Black Hole

this is one of those times where it would be nice if you could have more nuanced reviews than "recommend/not recommend" on steam. The base game mode is a solid idea, executed cleanly in a fun and satisfying way. It's worth the 2 hours it takes to finish, and I would recommend the base game mode to anyone who likes incrementals. Unfortunately, the game is bloated with a bunch of extra game modes, which seem to be there purely to pad the playtime and achievement list (only 2 of the 38 achievements take any kind of intentional effort or input, the rest are either for normal progression of the base mode, or for finishing one of the extra game modes once). 7 of the 8 available extra modes can be described purely as "what if the normal game mode was shorter and less interesting". This list includes such innovative game modes such as, "what if one of the normal powerups was always active, and the upgrade tree was harder to navigate on controller", "idle mode where we removed the whole upgrade tree and you don't have to touch the game at all to eventually win", "literally just the demo of the game as a separate mode". This is the part of the game that puts it into not recommend territory. Even more unfortunately, the one game mode that sounds like a good idea needs to be very heavily rebalanced. It's a rougelike mode, but the issue is that most of the upgrades you can get are mostly useless, so you end up just rerolling until you get one if the 2-3 upgrades that is strong enough/scales fast enough to get you a win. Most unfortunate of all, every time you finish the game in any mode, a pop-up comes out that says "buy my newest game pwease 🥺", which is the fastest way to ensure I will never buy your newest game. The base of this game was really good, but the longer I played to finish the achievements, the more bitter I got, and now all I have left is the wish that they would have just put the base mode out by itself.

I don't think this was written by humans. This has that oddly abstract, poorly cohesive feeling that AI written games has.

非常爽快的增量游戏，模式很多，标准模式的数值设计得恰到好处，每打一次都有相应的天赋可以点，天赋树只有一个方向，可以说哪里亮了就点哪里，这对选择恐惧症的人来说非常友好。破珠者模式加入了类似打砖块的玩法，宝珠在小行星之间来回碰撞非常解压。肉鸽模式比较一般，既没有增量游戏的爽感又没有肉鸽游戏的深度。电月模式很不错，每一次点击都能连锁放电，升级速度也很快。

Felt more like chore to 100% than fun/accomplishing. Main game was fine and rather enjoyable, half the extra modes aren't great and felt the same. Extra modes ruined my opinion of this one. Mini challenge, line, and grid felt like the same mode and kind of meh, but not a big deal. Roguelike felt awful and disjointed compared to rest of game despite beating it in two attempts it was not at all enjoyable. This is largely what ruined my opinion of the game as a whole

Very linear progression tree.

The game's fine, but it just isn't worth 10ish dollars.

El juego principal es muy divertido, aunque perezosamente lineal. Los otros modos de juego se sienten completamente iguales entre sí, no aportan nada a la experiencia de juego y te quitan las buenas sensaciones dejadas por el juego principal. Debido a esto, completarlo al 100% se siente tarea tediosa. Si el juego base fuera un poco más largo, con más combinaciones a escoger en las mejoras... Definitivamente sería un excelente juego, pero, por ahora, no lo recomiendo.

clean simple fun
