“Bought game, dev removed things I enjoyed most less than a week after. Then informed us he was no longer going to work on the game shortly after that. And now announced game will be free and no regards to people who paid. Yikes. Zero trust…”
“Simply not fun. There are many better idler and creature collector games out there. Also, offline progress was removed, you gotta keep your computer on all the time.”
