I beat the game after almost 10 hours (I was afk most the time)
it's good semi-idle game if you're looking for a side game
also it's very cheap, Why are you hesitant? just buy the game already!

if there was a "Meh" option instead of a thumbs up or a thumbs down I'd give it.

Its kinda boring, but for $1, and does precisely what it says on the tin, it doesn't deserve a thumbs down.

the main gameplay loop gets repetitive quickly with few significant changes other than scaling health and costs. In fact the only things that do change are bullet patterns and few of them actually help in a meaningful way.

The music is baller, though. Would buy a soundtrack.

I was just gonna give it a positive rating, write some notes and call it a day, but on the 2nd thought I don't really recommend it.

The main problem here is that the dev hasn't realized what's fun about this genre and made something similar to Nodebuster (and maybe To The Core, but I haven't played that) but stripped of all the fun elements. The VFX are almost non-existent, the upgrades are some the lamest you'll ever see, and by the time the game feels really smooth and fun there's little point to be playing it other than bringing it to the finish line.

There are also missing QoL features like adjustable zoom (at one point you'll almost stop seeing enemies because many die outside the screen), lacking tooltips/numbers for the production and combat stats, achivements, and probably some others I've forgotten by now. These are easily fixable but I doubt the dev will overhaul the entire upgrade tree and that's where the game is just flat and boring.

It's a very short game, 60-90 minutes of actual gameplay (few hours if you leave it to let the points generate like in my case), and the price is similar to Nodebuster so I'd get that instead if you haven't played it. And if you have then go walk a dog or something it'll be more fun.
