Gameplay

Balancing and pace was good until the 3rd ending, with relatively limited grinding phases
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The fun part for me was up to the 3rd ending, that took around 50-60 hours.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are pretty slick for this sort of game, comparing it to things like Groundhog Life and Increlution.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It feels like the game needed more time in the oven or perhaps a more experienced developer, but if you can look past all that, the game offers the classic idle-game feeling of constant progression while having an actual skill ceiling, which I found very satisfying to push against, even with all the flaws.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound effects fulfill their goal while the music is too repetitive, and feels really unfitting.
