Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.43/day in the week to Sep 3 → 1.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

The first 30 minutes to an hour are pretty good. But afterwards it becomes extremely linear, boring, and just a complete waiting game with no meaningful decisions. I did not enjoy any of my time after the 60 minute mark, but kept the game open while I did other things just to see if it improved.
It's... okay. It's an interesting little idler for the price of a sandwich. One and done for me. Left it open while I took a break too...
nice game and cheap. kept me interested for a long time! Good job!

прикольно.
A chill game, its somewhat short but its lovely honestly, I got sucked in and I decided to 100% it, although i will say towards the end o the game it was getting very laggy but it was still enjoyable, enjoy this hidden gem :D
alguns bugs, mas super viciante. aproximadamente 10h de jogo total pra 100%
Pretty mid overall. 100% in 8 to 10 hours The graphics are decent and the presentation looks fine, but the game falls short in too many places. Several core mechanics feel broken or buggy, the talent tree has very little impact on how the game actually plays, and the gameplay itself ends up feeling flat. If you’re looking for something in this style, I’d recommend Tower Wizard over Starvester. It does the formula better.
太坐牢了
Pretty decent Idler for the price.
