I like free games as much as the next guy, but there's so little explanation of what you're doing here that it's just a confusing mess. It appears that there's no in-game help at all and the linked Discord server is basically dead. Give this a try to see if you can get it figured out but you're likely going to want to find a different game.

Honestly pretty good for a free game. At first I was a little lost with the different systems that aren't explained very well, but once you get into it a bit more, it's not that complicated. You collect new creatures by having your creatures fight them in "training" or by trading for them. Then you have your creatures mine gems to turn them into different colour/rarity variants. You can also breed them to upgrade them and do a few others things. Overall early progression was pretty smooth and after about 100 hours I've unlocked everything except the last legendary creature. My only complaint is that now I'm basically stuck waiting with nothing left to do and will probably take another 20-50 hours to unlock the last few achievements (getting the last level of the garden/shrine and getting a bunch more levels for skill points I don't really need anymore except for the achievement, hoarding money, and the achievement for getting all creatures which I'll get once I unlock said legendary). I finished everything else there is to do and now there's just waiting. But it's an idle game, so it's not that big of a deal. And since it's free, I'm not gonna complain about some very minor late-game balancing issue. Especially since the game has zero microtransactions/in-game-purchases to speed up progress. It's truly free, not freemium like most of these games, and thus deserves extra credit, since that also means it's not balanced around making you pay to win. I applaud the devs for that.
