Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I really wanted to like the game. For some weird reason, the idea of a puristic math focused idle game with simplistic graphics is enticing to me. And the progression and challenges are somewhat interesting. But the execution is just…”
“Progression falls off a cliff to a point where basically nothing is gained for weeks on end. Starts well, interesting ideas here, but just not enough substance to keep this interesting.”
