2025-12-19 ga***** Overall, I really enjoyed this game. I have played a lot of idle games, and I did greatly enjoy what I got out of this one. The two currencies, sand and money, which are used to upgrade and unlock other items, is fairly unique. I enjoy how much being active pays off compared to a lot of other idle games, while being idle also provides lots of sand once you progress to a certain point. However, I found that after only a few thousand product upgrades, things seem to be slowing down drastically. While I have everything maxed out for additional upgrades, from prestige to prestige the prestige currency is hardly keeping up with what I need to get much out of each prestige. In addition, the other two worlds progress are also incredibly slow at first and have been a bit hard to pick up and play. Overall, I have really enjoyed this game, but it seems like I’ve hit a bit of a wall. I’ll keep playing for a bit, and if that wall is surmounted I will update my review.

2025-10-17 Mr***** Thanks for pushing sweeping updates to the calculation tables- your new maths bricked my progress and I can’t hit the same prestige markers I was hitting previously by a long shot. Greedy dev just wants people to pay for more progress speed I guess.

2025-08-07 Mu***** The gameplay isn’t bad, but not ground breaking. I like that exporting gives you a profit multiplier. But the music.. dang dude. That is SO well done. It’s just like one long track with how all the movements seamlessly come together. A+ Music B+ Gameplay B Graphics/Art Style

2025-06-21 Ku***** The newest update that added 10 more levels and revamped upgrades was fantastic and made progression a lot more streamlined but the new patch that reset sand capacity and spawn rate ruined any semblance of progression I once had. Every time I reset I barely get any more upgrade currency and it’s stalemated my progress to a point where I don’t think I can recover my current game that I’ve worked on for 3 months now. The game is probably fantastic now for new players but I feel completely stuck at my current rates now and even 5-day fast forwards don’t do anything to boost my rates or currency amounts.

2025-05-31 DC***** I love idle games don’t get me wrong but there is no sense of progression I’ve been playing for a couple days and am level 9 and I don’t feel any different from when I started. Solid game to start with but this one is super slow and lacking features atm

2025-05-22 di***** Very chill game with a really beautiful esthetic. The system them have is excellent and i like everythibg they are doing. They seems to be good devs with a well thought out plan of attack and i beleiev they will make this a really interesting game in the future with more mechanics in future updates. Its pretty bare bones rn but its enjoyable

2025-05-07 Ri***** Started and everything is locked, completely locked and then the screen is just question marks? The in game tutorial tells you to follow the glowing buttons essentially and uh my glowing buttons didn’t work I guess
