It was a bit slow to get going, and there is a learning curve, but it is pretty easy once it all clicks in your head. For an idle game I'd give it a solid 7-8

who on earth are the <1% of people who bought this game and thought to remove the GEARS part of the title name and just put the game on hold indefinitely

The game concept is just amazing. So novel! Just great! However, unfortunately, the game is buggy to the extent that it's close to unplayable. There's no presence on the discord from devs, and no idea how to report the bugs. Makes me so sad. This could have been best idler game in years! Update: Maybe it's not as buggy as I thought. Let me defer judgment a bit here.

It is a very slow progression. A unique aspect on a clicker game, but it takes a lot of time to get anywhere in the game. I still have only ascended one time for one point after 55 hours of gameplay.

Fairly enjoyable game, but it's got some weird physics. The biggest issue is that gears give free power/torque multiplication. The compound gear mechanic works as expected, converting high speed/low torque to low speed/high torque, but by simply connecting a large gear to a high speed/low torque small gear, you get high speed/high torque. I don't know if removing this mechanic ruins the gameplay, but everything just feels a bit wonky because of it. I like the game, but the weirdness with the physics does affect my enjoyment of it.
