its not bad but its not ground breaking either. its good enough fun to 100%. Not a huge fan of having to replay the game twice to get new items that honestly dont do jack tochange the game play. Game is a good example in my opinion in how you dont need amazing graphics to have a fun game if the gameplay is fun enough
About what you would expect from a 1.99 game. Pretty simple, not a lot to it, but worth it if you want to sing a few hours into an incremental/idle game. I wish the items and upgrades had descriptions, because you dont really know what anything does, and even as you use it its not clear.
ieri sera ho giocato al gioco e da come si vede il video stasera sono entrato nel gioco e non cera piu niente e gia la decima volta che mi succede lo sviluppatore dice che a lui li va bene e li rimangono i salvataggi a me no mi sa che non lo risolvera mai questo problema le ho detto fai una opzione metti che salviamo noi mi ssa che non lo a capito e per questo mi sono stufato adesso li metto un negativo perche ogni volta devo rifare tutto da capo prima https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eka_-UmAPDk&t=127s dopo https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3663820615 aggiornamento del 19/02/2025 il gioco non viene sistemato lo sviluppatore non li interessa anzi sta creando unaltro gioco in vece di sistemare questo si dovrebbe fare una bella segnalazione a steam perche lo sviluppatore non risponde neanche io non so se queste recensioni sono vere in tendo dire quelle possitive secondo me sono tutte false perche il gioco fa veramente schifo e ingiocabile perdo sempre i miei salvataggi nel gioco lo sviluppatore a tolto pure la selezione su discord il nome del gioco io lo disinstallato al brucio perche e uno sviluppatore falso prende solo i soldi della gente e non risolve il problema e steam non fa niente in merito
This is a neat, albeit short incremental game where you collect.. stuff in the middle of.. the desert? Anyhow, the controls function fine, graphics are okay-ish and the mechanics are decent enough. It's only 2 bucks, so well worth the money you can save instead by not purchasing that energy drink you saw at the drug store.
Fun, great art, and very little issues while playing. Got all achievements in 2 hours. The only issue i had was my camera would skip a few frames randomly. Even if i was moving it slowly. Though this might just be a hardware issue.
Fairly simple incremental game. Played in its entirety on steam deck with no issue. What is really impressive about the game, however, is how much the dev cares about it and the community: they are active both here on steam and on the discord server, quickly answering questions and trying to solve any issue in a timely manner. Definitely worth supporting!
A terrifying example of how easy it is to delve into addiction I found myself blacking out and coming to thinking "ok, I just need to upgrade this, then I will be fully efficient... wait what the ♥♥♥♥ am I doing?!". Insanely addictive from the start. I had to pull the plug early otherwise I would have spent hours, farming, upgrading, killing boxes. I recommend this game if you have an addiction you want to replace with another.
This is a inexpensive game so I don't want to come off as extremely negative but this is a rough small upgrade and number go up game. It has charm but its very buggy, the aim doesn't feel great and unless I missed something there's no information on what anything does. Some of it is obvious but some of it isn't. One of the achievements requires you to beat the game at least twice but there's no incentive to do it besides the achievement. Again this is only a couple dollars so I think its worth it to support the developer to continue their passion making games but there are definitely improvements that could be made. If you want to chill for a couple hours and watch the number go up give it a try but expect some jank
The game is extremely simple, and that's okay for the price point it's at. The game has a few glitches where control is lost for a few moments before returning, but it didn't affect my play that much. The game could use some more story aspects and just a few minor gameplay tweaks to ranged weapons.
