User Reviews

Overall sentiment is highly positive: many users call it surprisingly deep and story-driven, with an addictive, hourlong appeal and good value as a one-time purchase. The strongest downsides cited are the lack of a dark mode, no save/progress persistence, and clunky mobile UI. Occasional bugs in space-age progression also surface. The game is praised for its design and writing, but these accessibility and reliability issues limit its appeal for some players.

Pros

Deep, story-driven idle experience with meaningful narrative beyond simple numbers.
Addictive and engaging; users can lose hours to it.
Simple, minimalist design with an authentic feel from the developers.
Solid value as a one-time purchase.
Long-lasting appeal and nostalgia for classic PC/browser origins.

Cons

Lacks a dark mode/theme support (repeatedly requested).
No save feature or progress persistence; starting over after reset or reinstall is a major frustration.
Mobile UI is fiddly: too many taps to interact with prices and limited resizing/scrolling compared to the browser version.
Occasional bugs in space-age progression (energy/clips conditions) disrupt progression.

Recent reviews

No ads, no micro transactions, just a one-time purchase and you’re set. This is how mobile games should be.

This is one of the first incremental games I ever played and I still come back to it every so often. “Simple” number-go-up game where you press buttons to make numbers go up with the purpose of making the game press the old buttons for you while giving you new buttons to press instead. As simply a layout as it is, I do wish the game had a dark-mode (I find the all-white screen quite bright) and a save-backup system so I could etch away at the artifact screen rather than be presented with a clean slate every few years when I redownload it.
