Very busy in too many areas.
Many ideas excitedly crammed in areas that needed to be spaced out.
Seems this game was done without a human element and a lot of AI.
I would say that we explored a game like this, and it was developed by AI, artwork looks completely AI driven and was a person launching a game that had little clue how to fix this mess.
We gave it an honest 5 hours active playtime, week offline to see if it would capture us, it simply has not.
Do not use AI for your game layout, it will apply too much in too many small spaces, no human element, which takes from clear explanation. Yes you have written words in plain English but the way it is done makes it confusing because of the implementation and layout.

If the developer did use someone for layout and tutorial execution, they need a lot more training and experience to be fluid and easy to understand while maintaining the tunnel vortex that is created from the AI use while maintaining end user excitement and connection.

In credits, it states the developer got the creative influence from ONI GAMING® Farmers Against Potatoes®... you have a LONG LONG way to go to be as clear, easy to understand,while providing end user satisfaction from the grind, making them want to return for more, that it offers compared to this without using AI as much as you did.

Your pricing for your in game items is abysmal and done off of a whim.
2 dollars we gave you for time and effort... for one skin.... that is where it ends.
Use the money wisely, hire some help and not the AI next time.

Again... this has too much AI use and it shows. Nice attempt, but you need years more experience in game development without someone saying... COPILOT.. make me a clicker game I can launch on steam.

The UI is an absolute disaster. It's ugly, it's inconsistent, and it doesn't fulfil it's job as a UI very well either.

Aesthetically, it's an overload of intense colours.
Functionally, different sub-menus work differently which makes it really frustrating to figure out how to just navigate the different tabs. In particular, you don't just have one area in the UI for accessing different tabs.

And as many other reviews stated, the game also hits you over the head with all the content that will be unlocked over time and already shows a lot of empty menus from the get go which is really overwhelming.

That's without going into how microtransactions actually have a huge impact on the gameplay, which is always disgusting. Or how the minigames mean you do have to babysit the game constantly. Made worse by how a lot of automation and QoL are then gated behind....you guessed it, premium currency that you can also buy through microtransactions and don't get much of otherwise. No thanks.

To be fair, i haven't gotten further than a few hours, but i can only imagine how bad things will get as more mechanics are available, given what a mess this game already is a few minutes in. It's free, but it's still just not worth your time. It doesn't respect you or your time as a player. Especially with there being absolutely gems out there that are also free to play like Unnamed Space Idle.

Game dev for some reason cant explain unlock mechanics on certain things to save their life, i planned on something else then community clarified that it wouldnt work, so the next over week long grind would have been essentially useless and made virtually little to no progress, at least compared to if the information would have been clear the first time, but hey thats why i dont spend money on idle games because then i can at least say i didnt waste money
