It's fun for a few days, but not very balanced. Early game progress through new content is very quick, followed by several days of grinding through identical content at slightly increasing rates, followed by a waterfall of progress faster than you can even get all your mechanics configured, followed by that waterfall just becoming a long slog to no particular end (still fast, weirdly). The developer puts ads entirely under player control, which is nice. Watched a lot to aupport that decision.

I have spent a good amount of time on this game. I have had 0 forced ads and there are no flashing banners at the bottom either. Games like these are far and rare, and I very much appreciate them. Game is really addictive, I've sank hours into this game. There are different ways to play so it keeps things fresh. That being said, I am a little sad because I am nearly done with everything I can do. Maybe add one of those generic timed weekend events with random twist??

There are some balancing issues. I have enough data to reset the whole world, but I'm still lvl 36 with hacks. This "gatcha" modules is stupid because the bonuses become meaningless throughout the game. The battery system is a feature that I really enjoyed, but the way hacks works makes it hard to engage. Some modules makes no sense to use. Some are super useful to use with specific hacks, but only if know already. I wish I could leave a complete review because I love this game.

Simple yet fun, easy and non intrusive. Ads are optional. Progression tree is linear, so there are no real choices to be made on the tech tree. Just keep grinding until you hit the next threshold. The real customization comes in the Hack and Modules menus, where you get to choose a limited loadout to configure your grind to your particular play style. Over 800 levels in under 2 days, not a bad dopamine generator.

Reached Ng+1 a couple minutes ago. As simple as the ending was i liked it a lot. Amazing game just like the first one was, never felt stuck and it always felt like i had a way to go instead of just waiting for hours. The best idle game that i've ever played, followed closely behind by the first game. I wish the devs all the best. Thank you for making these games. Edit:Right, leveling up your hacks is very slow, i'm still only on lvl 29. Will you ever add a way to increase xp gained for it?

Finally got home after a long 10 hour day at work and was hoping that the 10 hours of idle time would be enough to get me through my next reboot (prestige), but it said I only had 5 seconds of idle time which is just it going through the start up screen. I've had it do this to me twice in the couple days I've had it installed. Kind of defeats the purpose of an idle game if you can't let it idle. I do like how long it can (allegedly) be idle, seems to be a few days. Gameplay is good otherwise.

this game is an upgrade from the first edition of the game. some mechanics stayed, but it's mostly all new mechanics. there is some new music and some from the previous game (the background music is so good). this game is still pretty new in the app store, so i haven't unlocked everything yet. this idle game is by far my favorite. it also has achievements, too. 5/5 (the developers are amazing). awesome game!

Solid 9/10 for me. HOWEVER, the 3rd to last research (which is required for progression) shows as unlocked and acts like it isn't. I can't and haven't bought it, and I am softlocked now. With it being so close to the end of the game, I still decided to rate it 5 stars because it's otherwise very good. (I am still very sad about the bug tho)

Good game, no annoying or really required ads or p2w, progress is noticeable. What I didn't like so much is lack of some kind of "congrats" when completing the last universe (last universe itself was quite disappointing), indicator "game completed". Returned to default universe and did a few more rounds, but was feeling that it's way too easy. While now I need e2000 for universe reset, I get e3000 without too much effort. And it's getting only easier. So end game could be better...

I think the game has great potential. on good side - theme (upgrading hardware, uploading), tiers, points and perks for levels to distribute. Some of the mechanics and bots are a bit cumbersome. Bots for generators are not picking the most optimal setup - so you still have to manage manually. Some features should have more explanations - in-game wiki for quick review of terms and tips would be beneficial. If you leave with Max, it will reset to 1x upon reopening the game, and you loose progress

You click the hack menu, it doesn't open for 1 second, you click it again, and now the menu opens and you spent hack point on the "reveal" skill, AND TO REFUND IT YOU NEED PREMIUM CURRENCY?! What the ,,,,, is this. Please make hacks refund free, then i change to 5 star.
