i still don't know what makes a human human
Pretty fun loop, and meaningful progression when you prestige. (which you should do early and often) Even has a nice little story, which I never expected in a game in this genre. Well worth the price.
Неплохая игра с любопытным геймплеем, но странным балансом веток талантов (некоторые ветви прокачки - имба, а другие за ту же стоимость почти бесполезны). В остальном прикольно.

리뷰를 보고 2시간 녹이려고 3천원? 개이득이다 싶어서 샀는데 2시간 넘게 했는데 아직 스킬트리도 다 못찍었ㅆ어요,,, 물론 제가 효율을 극대화 하는 편이 아니라서 효율이 떨어지게 파밍한부분도 있지만 2시간만에 깰정도는 아닌것같기도.. 진행도를 모르겠어서2시간안에 끝나실수도 있어요 이 게임은 마우스를 위아래로 움직이거나, w,s 로 위아래로 움직이는거 그리고스킬찍어서 업글하는거 정도 밖에없습니다 이런게임이 다 그렇죠 뭐...그런것 치고도 단조로워요 근데 저는 마무리까지 달려보고싶은것이 사운드가 너무 좋습니다 깊은곳에서 유영하는 물고기가 된 기분이 들어요 나른해집니다 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 틀어놓고 자고싶을정도로 ㅅ사운드가 취향이었ㅆ어요 부딪힐때나 게임에 들어갈때 나는 물소리등 사운드 최고입니다 최고 ㅅ사운드 트랙도 구매해보려고합니다 사운드 맛ㅅ집 힐링하고 싶으시다면 구매 추천~
Great game, wish it was longer!
[h2]Turns You Into an AI Engineer (Kinda)[/h2] Super addictive gameplay. It’s a roguelike that basically lets you “build” an AI, and it does it in a way that just clicks. After a few runs I found myself googling how my own PC works and how AI is done today—systems design and learning curve are on point. The vibe and mini-lore are great too. [spoiler]I held off and read all the files on the final dive, and wow—the ending tied the mechanical and narrative breadcrumbs together in a way that really landed for me.[/spoiler] Awesome idea, slick execution. A huuge thanks to the devs—would love to play whatever you make next.
War ganz ok, bissi wenig zu tun bzw. nur UpAndDown hab dann Idle angestellt und bin da damit durch.
This was a fun little incremental. 3 hours of entertainment with an excellent lo-fi soundtrack and a fairly deep (as these games go) ending. I wouldn't have minded it lasting longer.
A fun incremental that took about three hours to get 100% achievements in. Gameplay is nothing too special, if you've played one game like this then you know how the gameplay goes in all of them. But the music was chill, upgrades were satisfying, prestige wasn't too annoying to deal with, and I was a fan of the story and got lowkey emotional during the epilogue. Good times.
