Really simple and straightforward tool that was exactly what I needed for my production workflow!

Solid concept for an incremental game, I had fun letting it run in the background for a few weeks. The progress generally feels satisfying, but it got a bit repetitive by the end.

I think the game suffers from not allowing the player to decide when to play idle vs active. In order to progress you have to check back and intervene every 20-35 minutes when your "loop" completes. There's no way to play actively for more than a few minutes at a time. There also isn't enough choice/strategy involved, the optimal path is pretty much always obvious. Also the NG+ system is underpowered and I found my second playthrough to be pretty unsatsifying.

Regardless, for the price it's definitely worth a playthrough.

As someone who played the ♥♥♥♥ out of NGU on Kongregate I'm struggling to find the fun in this game. The first map was great but I quickly realized that the game loop never really changes once you progress into new maps: buy upgrade, redo your whole setup because the upgrade messed up your production ratios, buy upgrade, redo setup, etc. It reminds me of a worse version of Factorio where nothing ever gets automated so you just spend the whole game building belts & assemblers.
