What players say
A fun little incremental game "upgrade fest" that would have been well received in the flash game era. Everything you do makes number go up. There's no way to fail, so how much time you waste is up to you. I love mining games, and I enjoy incremental games. The only problem is that I feel like a time-wasting piece of poop after sinking hours into them.
Recommended with the caution that this is more activity than game, an exercise in faux productivity, a procrastination aide. It lacks ... some things ... that would make it fun. That would create decision points. AS is, it's a grind. But the art is colorful and the naming and writing amusing. Need more defensive and offensive options. As it is, too often (WAY too often) monsters dog you, damaging you, frustrating...
Not good even for a clicker game. You'd think after four hours a new mechanic would be introduced but no. If you play this game for approximately 30 minutes, congratulations you've seen all it has to offer.
