Update 6.4

2:28pm

A batch of quality-of-life fixes from your feedback — bundled into one update.

Hiscores

The Hiscores screen now shows your global rank on every board, not just one. Ranks are also remembered between menu opens, so they appear instantly instead of reloading each time.

Quality of life

Endgame is clearer — once all your skills hit level 99, the refound prompt reliably reappears (even if you dismissed it earlier), so it's obvious where the prestige loop continues.
Activity log remembers its state — collapsed or expanded, and its height, now stay how you left them between runs.

Fixes

Fixed the "What's New" window popping up on every launch.

Thanks as always for the reports — keep them coming.

suggestion

Make a money/second under each category and make one for all the current activated skills. Very simple little improvement!

Update 6.3

6:28am

Two fixes straight from your reports — thank you for the detailed write-ups.

Mastery income, fixed

A recent update capped how much Mastery boosted your income, which made earnings flat-line late game and stall your runs. Mastery now scales income on a smooth, ever-growing curve again — it ramps fast early and keeps climbing the more you stack, so high-Mastery runs feel rewarding instead of hitting a wall. (It still settles enough to keep the prestige loop meaningful.)

Bulk-buy indicator

The little "you can buy something" dots on the upgrade tabs now respect your selected buy amount (x1 / x10 / x100 / Max). No more dots telling you something's affordable when the x10 batch you've got selected isn't.

Keep the feedback coming — it shapes every update.

Update 6.2 — Comfort & Clarity

Jun 22

More straight from your suggestions — making the game easier to read, and easier to read at a glance.

Resize the UI

New UI Scale slider (Menu ▸ Display) — text or buttons too small (or too big)? Drag the slider anywhere from 80% to 150% and the whole interface resizes instantly. A "Reset to 100%" button returns to the auto-detected size. The single most-requested quality-of-life feature — thank you to everyone who asked.

Live income readout

See your $/sec — each running skill now shows its current earnings rate right on its row, and the top bar shows your combined rate across every active skill. Easy to see at a glance what's paying off.

Fixes

Tidier achievements — fixed already-earned achievements popping up again on launch (and, in rare cases, appearing to grant all at once). They're synced quietly now, so only brand-new unlocks get a notification.
Smoother offline play — fixed a softlock where maxing every skill while away could block new skills from unlocking. Your unlocks now catch up the moment you return.

Thanks for playing! Tell us what to build next on our Steam page.

Product received for free

sadly such an obvious AI game, i had it wishlisted and thought it would be really cool.
almost no features, definitely unfinished

the AUDACITY to have ingame-purchases for such a game has to be studied

Income no longer increasing with Mastery?

One of the updates today seems to have broken income scaling with mastery. Previous runs you were able to watch the income continuously increase as the mastery stacked up. Went and did a couple resets to get the x10 Found achievement and restarted the game to install the most recent updates. Now the income is static despite the mastery doubling/tripling/quadrupling--which is to say after getting farther in the game with more buffs, my runs are now very noticeably slower. Edit: Actually, after a point it's...

While using AI is not a crime, this game is entirely made with it. Even the patch notes are a fresh copy of what our dear friend claude says.
Dont waste your time, the idea could be nice but the execution is very poor, no balance at all, UI is cheap.
There are better idle free games out there (like upload labs for example)
