Great Incremental
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.

Great, but I was let down
I was having a blast playing this. Slowly making my way through the universe and discovering artifacts. Then because I chose to go to the bottom right corner, the game ended. I spent a lot of time getting there and was excited for the artifact, only to find that is the one square that ends the game. I could teleport away to keep playing, but I couldn’t keep the artifact. I played for days looking forward to this goal only to be disappointed.

I got introduced to this years ago; can’t stop coming back to it
This parasite lives in my brain and feeds me dopamine occasionally when I watch the numbers go up. The single best purchase on the AppStore I’ve made and I will stand by that until the sun collapses or is converted to paperclips.

Maybe the best App Store games of all time, no joke
It’s so simple, but it feels like a game for the iPhone from the days where you used to actually be able to find real games for your iPhone. Now, it’s all just ad traps. It has character and fun little things left there by the developers. Personally, it’s my favorite game. It’s not flashy, it’s not some big production non-sense circus. It’s just a good simple game that you can clearly tell the devs had a fun time making. That’s 5 stars in my book.

Bugged at space age
Game seems to be bugged when you try to get to space age. Don’t have enough clips or don’t have enough energy when you disable everything but the solar panels. When you disable everything you have 6 oct. but when you build power to have 10 million mw/s it drops to 3.23 oct.

It’s much older
This game I played in 2004. Not sure why it says 2017, unless someone deleted the traces of it. I play this game every 10 years, I am surprised that its history has been erased of the PC days, that was the only way to play this.

Please make changes!
I love this game, but... I simply cannot stand (nor use) the app version! In the browser, you can freely resize the screen, zoom in and out, and play in landscape or portrait, however you prefer. The app cannot do any of these things! Also, IDK how it is in the app, but the browser version uses so much computing power, I cannot charge the battery *and* play the game simultaneously! Very few other apps even come close to taxing my iDevice like this. Please make these changes! I, like so many others, plunked down my $2 dollars -- but I have not used the app since, and this is why. It's time for

Played this game years ago, still holds up.
As title reads, i played this game 5+ years ago and after searching for decent idle/clicker games, this one still stands as the best one ive ever played on mobile and even beats out most ive played on pc. 10/10 masterpiece

i’ve played this game for years on browser but now on mobile it’s crazy, i’m on reality 36/100 and must finish them all. a beautiful, deep app that teaches many lessons. the only complaints are a) NO DARK MODE PLS ADD and b) there’s a bug where when u first load the app the alien artifact area shows the activate button even though nothing is selected, and when pressed it breaks. tiny complaints compared to the perfection of this game, thank you for making it.

Thank you Frank
My life‘s going well, but I still get bored. I searched online, trying to find a free browser game and that’s how I initially stumbled upon this game. After a while, I I felt the need to transition to the mobile version and having seen a taste of it online I paid the two dollars happily. I never knew how much of a story and a message could be told through an idle game. This is one of the most simple and yet most satisfying idle games ever made. At first, it’s like any other and it appears almost too simple, you click, and you build your paper clip factory. For those seeking more, the plot

Perfect port no save function
It was fun trying to figure out the balancing features. I did not enjoy finding out there is no saving the game whatsoever. Deleted game means start over. Seems like a pretty simple mistake to leave this iCloud support out.

The buttons are annoying
I started to play on the web a few days ago. It's an interesting take on the AI point of view. I do like the first part a little more. The drone power and batteries are too confusing. My biggest problem with the game is the buttons. Why do i have click so much to interact with the price ? You guys can do something about this. I downloaded the game on my phone thinking it wouldn't be an issue here. But no it's the same thing you have to click click and click. Please take a look at the interface one more time.

Very cool game
I’d weighed in earlier with a couple less glowing reviews, but I think the quirks I’d originally classified as bugs were actually my own misinterpretation of the data. This game is crack - clever, interesting, and poignant. Worth far more than the pittance they’re asking for it.

Almost gave me a panic attack (in a good way)
Although I will not spoil it, it takes less than 10 hours to beat, which I appreciate. Second, this game gets very intense very fast. Third, this game was a rollercoaster of emotion in the end. All that considered, it’s well worth the 2 bucks. The only downside is there is no dark theme.

It's best if you only know a little bit about the premise of the game, and then watch it unfold. I absolutely couldn't put it down. Prepare to lose 8-12 hours from friends and family, but you'll come out of it for the better. Absolutely brilliant how they could make a game that's so riveting with such a basic interface.
