[h1]Forget About Those Spinners[/h1]
What good could I say about this game? I have not encountered any bugs, and no bugs have been reported. It seems, that assets are original, and the spinners look pretty good. That's all.
It's a cheap game, but unfortunately the cheap applies much more to the game, than to its low price. It's a dull game both in it's graphic design (despite those spinners) and in its gameplay. It's a mindless game both in its gameplay and in its design. Having those nice spinners already designed, the devs didn't even think about using them as achievements or trading cards... none of those here. Being a clicker in which clicking is generally a waste of time, the game's description should say: [i]"Run it in the background, every so often spend all of your coins on upgrades, and check, how fast you can unlock all those nice spinners here."[/i]
To finish the game, it's enough to let it run for 25h or so, every so often upgrading just 3 or 4 elements[spoiler]generator, chests and gold chests. The chests open automatically, though generate at close to half speed, if spinners are idle (and possibly slower, if there are not many spinners activated on board, so maybe also slots should be upgraded)[/spoiler]. Then you can wait, till enough money is generated, and max everything else. For some it could be a perfect "challenging" achievement farm, but no achievements here.
The only challenge here is to figure out, what are the upgrades, giving you the best idle performance. There is no tutorial, no explanation, mostly no tooltips, and coins running to your bank barely relate to coins, that are really generated. Still, it's a very easy task, as there are no real combos, no paths unlocking new opportunities, no story, no any level of complexity, and no events, that would make it worth to click.
If you want a real mix of an idle game and a clicker, with a lot of variety and strategy involved, you can try instead the free, browser-based [url=orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/] Cookie Clicker [/url]. If you want a wonderful, cheap clicker with a charming story and nice design, for the same $1 you can buy [url=store.steampowered.com/app/699180/Humanpowered_spacecraft/] Human-powered Spacecraft[/url].
I'm really surprised by all those positive reviews, and I can only assume, that the devs have created the first few of them, and then the bandwagon effect took over. Seriously.
[b]My rating 1/10[/b] for being a rare collectible: a perfect example, how to put quite a bit of work into a game [i](unless it's an asset flip, that I have not been able to trace)[/i], missing almost all opportunities to create a game of any value.
