Fun idle game. I'm FTP atm, but there are absolutely reasonably-priced purchases I'm considering. The only ads are in exchange for tangible benefits/boosts. Overall fun and well-designed from what I've seen so far. I do wish there was a little more available in terms of either a tutorial or help screens. It took me a while to figure out what the deal is with blueprints, and while most items have an "i" icon for more info, they're tiny and usually display their text directly under my finger. >_<

Thank you for your suggestions! Our discord community is a great help for new players. There a tutorial videos, a Wiki and helpful players. We figured out this is much better than any solution we could squeeze in the game itself. You should check it out!

This game has entertained me for probably about a year, so honestly the best you can get out of an idle clicker. This is a great game with incredible quality of life features that every clicker game should have. It's honestly the best one on the market. Unfortunately it's tanked to unplayability by just a few major flaws. It's been really great, until up at a certain point, where you start hitting the diminishing returns like you do I every idle game. Around level 40, it starts taking weeks to level up, and around level 50 it can take months. The next item costs too much to unlock, and the only way to make more money is by upgrading the items you already have unlocked. Upgrading makes hardly any difference at all, and unfortunately, by design, each item is worth so exponentially much more than the previous one, your upgrades become totally negligible. Once you unlock a new item, it becomes 99% of your incoming profit, even with the entire rest of your factory upgraded. A brand new top item makes EVERYTHING else worthless. This would all be alright, it's an idle game, taking some time to progress is okay - even if it's a little longer than it should be. But the leveling up is dependent upon doing "fame quests," which make you send away some of your products to fill quotas. Once your quotas are filled, you gain experience towards leveling up. These quotas in and of themselves are fine because, like I said earlier, everything other than your most expensive product is 100% worthless. The part that makes them impossible is that they don't have any logic behind them. They require random amounts of random products, and sometimes they need huge amounts of something really expensive to make, and hardly any of the easy things. The biggest problem is coal. Coal is ALWAYS going to be your limiting factor. If your fame mission requires anything iron or steel, prepare for weeks and weeks of waiting. Opening the app, not having enough money to upgrade coal, then putting it away again until next time. If your mission needs more than one item that require coal to make, hunker down, it's gonna be a few months before you can play again. This all being said, up until level 40ish, it's wonderful. The fact that it auto builds your factory when you reset is incredible. The ability to hire merchants and scientists is awesome. Upgrading things based on achievements is cool, other than the ones that rely on upgrading your factory, because it's a waste of time to upgrade things, essentially locking those achievements. All in all, 4/5. Very good.

I like the game. It's a nice idle, however I am ready to quit if they are going to keep playing the ad for Wordscape. The ad automatically opens the app store without pressing anything and then most of the time when I try to go back to the game it reboots game and doesn't give the reward for watching the stupid ad. I will never download wordscape cause of it also so doubly a reason for not advertising the game...funny enough I haven't seen that ad since I posted the review.
