It's alright, but it should have gotten a quality of life patch imo. So many weird ui choices, no enough clarity in the menu, having to reselect prestige levels for planets over and over, not being able to continue progress after beating a challenge on the 2nd+ time of a planet. Other than a bad and often buggy UI, the gameplay is great! However, why does an incremental game have an achievement that requires like 4x the effort of completing the game itself (breaking 10M blocks). If there was a super huge planet I would maybe understand, but there is no nice way of achieving this amount of blocks. Just a mindless grind without any progression. Should have been removed or lowered to perhaps 2.5M - 3M blocks imo.

It's a good game, not more not less. Gets you about 7-8 hours of play time, maybe 9 if you take your time. My main critic point for this game is the power scaling. The first 1-2 hours are relativly slow. After you get some key upgrades, like modules, the game progresses super fast. To the point where it's more about clicking the buy button, and rushing through prestige. Felt a bit boring in the end.

One of the best incremental games I've ever played. The elements (HA) of the game are very well thought out and I like it when number get big. The completion time of the game is also extremely reasonable. If you've got a day when you're bored and wish you had a game that could push your 5070 to its limit because of how many particles are on you screen, this is the game for you. 10/10
