Best game for chilling
I have been on this game for weeks so fun
just another pay to win game
just like every other scam game in the app store. avoid
Slow progression, but it’s for the best.
No adds, no slop, genuinely a good use of my time, and it’s going to take a lot of my time. But that’s a good thing.
Starting to idle games more and more on mobile
Another “pay-to-win-“ idle mobile game. You are not reaching the orange and pink sparks not unless you buy the 5-day ad free version and the events is not unless you reach TRILLION or QUADRILLION. So far, I am in the QUINTILLION, because of the 5 days, and I have 4 orange sparks - on day 2. The boosts - Ghost sparks, Core Sparks, and focus sparks starts to become useless and requires you to buy more prisms. You better off just playing the game normally and checking back to level up your sparks after the first or second restart. There should be an actual ad-free version instead of milking more money for prisms and credits.
Not a fan of purchased upgrades only lasting days
Game is fun, but perishable purchased upgrades is a problem
This game respects you and your time
This game is a certified gem, it's not obnoxious about any purchases or even rating the game in the App Store (I came here of my own volition to leave this review, I don't think they ever actually asked me to), and there's legitimately no forced ads which is wild and I'm so grateful for that. I've watched ads for certain rewards and they're worth it too, these devs know what they're doing and it's awesome to see from a mobile game, bc you don't very often. This game's going to be on my phone for a very long time
Broken update?
I am addicted to this game, so rather distressed that as of today’s update I can no longer play, as the app does not / can not / will not progress past the welcome-back splash screen. Am desperately hoping to be able to, by tomorrow! Overall 4-5 stars when it works (which was for 2 years ‘till today). My rating has recently dropped to 4 as the optional adds which used to blessedly only hold you hostage for 10-30 seconds, have crept up to an almost infuriating 1.5 to 2 minutes.
Recent update
Whatever the most recent update was completely bricked the game for me. It completely crashes whenever I open it. Aside from that, it’s an awesome game. It has ads but none of them are forced on you an occasionally the game gives you a free boost when you hit an optional ad.
No ad free version
Paid $9 for ad free and it’s for only 5 days
Ads oh oh
The ads in this game seem to be getting longer and longer still a good game but ads it nice once and a blue moon you get a skip but far and few in between guess it’s just the way it is theses day in a money hungry world just not sure it’s worth the time anymore a lot of these games are just turning into ad generators or pay to play
Chill
Nice calming game that you can play to kill time. Fun, easy, and chill.
Crashing
I have the newest iPhone and this game still crashes poor quality of a game would not recommend
Slow but satisfying
This is a game for slow steady dopamine rushes. It has a nice build up and is great to play long term! The longer you have the game the better the gameplay gets. While It’s not a play to win I do find satisfaction in buying a few in game upgrades because the devs clearly spend a lot of time into the mechanics and UI. It’s not like one of those falsely advertised ad games. The game design is clear and simple without being boring. I like to play when I have some down time. AMAZING JOB DEVS!!
Really pushy with purchases
Overall a decent game, my main gripe is that so many of the rewards just put shards in your vault that you have to purchase. We should at least be given 5 shards if I get a pop-up that’s says I got 1,500 shards but oh no they’re actually locked behind a purchase
good game but..
the game is great, it’s relaxing and if ur a casual player you’d probably be fine, but late game progress is SO slow. there’s no discord and no posts have been allowed on the reddit forum for 4 years now. there’s no community to speak to about strategies and late game is extremely slow and difficult without paying for boosts in shops and watching tons of ads. it gets extremely relative which is a shame as i really enjoyed this game but i can’t continue i’m not making any progress past level 300
Goated
They respect you for supporting the game via watching ads or purchases and also it’s such a simple but fun design overall very good 👍
Can’t open
The game can’t be played
Solid incremental with a few issues
This is a great take on the incremental genre with most of the classic features you would expect. It’s straightforward and fairly intuitive, but it has had one glaring issue since I started playing - how long it takes to get back up and running after a prestige. I do t mean time played, I mean interacting with the UI. The dev added some great QOL features to improve the speed you can buy units, as well as a ‘next level’ for training them, but here is where the problem still exists - that $@%# annoying animation when skills are being drawn. It’s entirely too long when you’re leveling multiple units multiple times. It looks good, the first 20 times or so, then it needs to go away. Perhaps a setting for this? Or just axe it entirely? The buy-unit qol eliminated most of the delay in buying units, why not the same for leveling skills?
Offline earnings doesn’t work
I’m at a point where everything is really slow and u need to wait for a while to get stuff. Plus there have been no updates to my knowledge in the last like 6 months
Pacing Issues
Fun idle game, but the pacing starts to slow to a crawl once you reach your fourth or fifth reset and it begins taking aeons to make meaningful progress.
Great chill game
Very simple game, doesn’t force adds on you, all adds are optional (at time of review). Overall game is easy and great for a dopamine boost.
Locked
Game is locked in the starting screen
BugFixes
It’s a great game, it has a fun loop, everything is unlock able without paying but it has a few bugs like - Not being able to claim offline rewards - Game freezing and crashing, loosing some progress If you may take a look into these issues, it’d be great, thanks!
Pls I have no sound
I love the game mechanics but it’s silent when I play I’ve checked setting and reinstalled pls help me
good ish
fun but repetitive
Relaxing
Way more fun then other games
Wont load
IT WONT LOAD
Fun time killer
Would be better if could buy multiple shards at a time. Maybe a “max buy” option instead of one at a time or just holding the button down. Would also like an option to buy the shard under current shard instead of having to buy a ton of starters and merge them. Overall good game. Couple tweaks and could be a great game.
Bland
Soothing but just like any other idler not really a whole lot of purpose and after a certain amount of time progression moves slow and would rather do literally anything else.
It is good but…
This game is a wonderful game but it comes with some bad falls. 1. You start the game with 10 gem things. BUT after u need to pay £5 to get more… 2. It has no sound. Which makes it boring after a while. 3. You have to pay for a lot of game passes. Other than them I guess it’s pretty good.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a great game! Sometimes it even gives you add skip breaks!!!!!! And I totally recommend this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
20 chapitres et basta
Pour lobotomisés et adepte du clic clic clic routinier, bref ça dégage
From an actual person
This game surprised me, it has no forced ads, genuinely implies you to relax, and doesn’t shove too much down your throat at once. The gameplay is a little slow and it takes a long time to get to the end of some things without the boosts, but 1 ad for 1 hour of a boost is not bad at all. The game is perfect for idling to sleep. I recommend if your looking for a chill stress-free game that doesn’t need wifi and doesn’t shove a MILION ads down your throat.
Gets boring so fast
Who would want to play this?
Game Doesn’t load
I used to play this game a lot, but now it never loads, no matter what i do. Please fix this major flaw.
Great game
One of the greatest idle merge games. Never any ads and run smoothly, not one complaint about it.
Ads Bundle is a SCAM
Confusingly worded to make you think it removes ads but does not. Absolute trash
Great game to relax but needs music
This game it so relaxing to watch and click to upgrade but when playing I notice there no music and I was like huh odd so I just add some music in the background and now it better that there is music haven’t had any major issues though just add some music like relaxing music will boost this game by a lot
Wont open
I downloaded this game cause I saw it was supposed to be relaxing, and I’m all about relaxing games, but I’ve waited for 2-3 days and it has yet to open
Can’t open it
I used to play this game and like it but I re-downloaded it and can’t open it for some reason
Great!
Beat FREE game without annoying ads. Humble devs. Support them
Adds covering buttons
I use to love this game, but now with the add bar at the bottom of the screen it gets complicated to avoid the add when trying to play the game. Also the add bar covers completely a button of the game. Very disappointing, consider changing the scaling of the screen to avoid any over lap please.
Simple fun little game
doesn't force ads on you and has relatively well paced progression
Downloaded but can’t open
I used to play this game quite a bit a year ago. I downloaded it last week, the game has yet to open.
Perfect! but not really.
and some music to make me amazed of myself but my brother didn’t relise and some SFX like make sound click if you click and make the purchase sound if you buy something and when a zen shard hits a rock make the hit sound thanks
Strangely compelling to play…
I found this “game” a few months ago and have played it consistently since (105 days now). I’m not sure why. There is very little gameplay to this game - even for an idle game. However it is oddly compelling to watch, listen to, and simply zone out to while it is running. It is indeed quite Zen - at least for me. Some days I might just check in, click a few boosts or upgrades, and then leave. Other days I might be in it for long enough I need to connect my phone to a power source. Just watching, listening to the music, and slowly upgrading. I’m not going to say this is the best part of my day, however it most certainly is a very, very nice distraction from doom scrolling and other games. 5 stars.
Boring
Boring
Good
I think the game is good, I have one suggestion, I want to know what health the blocks
Reset completely
It’s a shame cause I do enjoy the game but randomly restarting me is not enjoyable and is downright frustrating, hope it doesn’t happen to anyone else who plays it
Really fun but I don’t get any audio whatsoever
The colours are very relaxing at night
