What players say
i have played this game annually for over ten years and the game is... fine. it used to be worse but the Dev team kind of flaked on this game. first they released it then reworked it, let it sit for a good eight years then reworked it again making it fun. And then they made an auto clicker. then they abandoned this game for an online game. I am really disappointed in the fact so many bugs and issues still exist in...
