Steam Reviews
What players are saying:
"the "game" uses Slop generatored images for it's graphics."
"I 100%'d this game so you didn't have to, and I'd rate the experience a generous 15 dead punnies out of 20 expired whoppers. I'd also like to formally request a refund for the countless hours I spent afking... doing literally what the game was designed for. Truly peak entertainment."
"I enjoyed this game, it's not perfect but it's a little side idler (ignoring the fact that it contains AI)."
