Project Chromata

The full day of play, spread over multiple days of real-time, just for slogging through an incredibly slow and uninteresting third section was tolerable, even if it proved that the design fundamentally did not come from a place of understanding "fun", "progression", or even "anything remotely new or interesting". Being presumably near the end of it just for my save to corrupt, shunting me back to the start with nothing, that was not. The fact that a save which I exported the day before could not be imported is total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. This is a waste of your time more than most other idle games, and definitely more than any actual functional ones written by competent programmers. Do anything else.

The game was neat up until the Screaming Nodes and the Root Nodes got introduced. The former can be pushed through, if you can put up with rage games. The later could be fixed if the dev followed a simple, BASIC rule of giving the player a way to remove those unpassable tiles those f*cking things create. But since you can't for whatever reason(even though you should at least after breaking all of them, if not having them removed automatically after breaking the responsible Root Node.) the game can randomly decide that you lost the run and there is nothing you can do about it. Until that is fixed, all I have to say is f*ck this game and f*ck the creator for trolling players like this.

You can overlook a lot of the old negative reviews, they've done a lot to improve various sections of the game, and it's genuinely a fun incremental game, this coming from someone who was fully stuck at stage 4 until the updates and now I've been genuinely enjoying it

the game starts out great with a good pase of progress and you start to get automation but then you get a bit further in and the game changes from an idle game to a bad tower defence style search and destroy with a time limit for allmost no accual progress even worse if you get past that then you now just have to wait opening up the game once a day without making progress to unlock a thing that does the exact same with no upgrades or accual progress towards what the game told you it was

if iim honest this game is good-ish but after stage 3 the game becomes and RTS game witch is pretty bad if you want play at your own risk and if you like RTS games play something better than this

For the love of god balance part 4, I have lost track of how many times I've sunk 20-30 minutes into a level to uncover a root and physic node right beside each other being boosted by a shield and I lose literally from just having those 3 showing at once. Fun idle game but I'm done until something gives on this. Setting up a RTS module inside an idle game that makes the player rage quit repeatedly is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ design.

Honestly, I had a lot of fun with the beginning of the game. As soon as I got to the section that had a timer countdown to permanently losing resource nodes, I turned it off for the the night, thinking I would pick it up in the morning... then I never opened the game again, because I dreaded the timer, and didn't want to play it. So... I guess I can't recommend a game I wouldn't want to play myself.
