You can up the difficulty a LOT which increases rewards a lot... which let's you go higher difficulties....
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay can be fun even if it is a bit hollow due to its idle game nature, the game has a lot of replayability even if it is just a time sink, the story was unappealing to me and should have been done in a single playthrough so that it didn’t feel so fragmented by the time I came to the finale, the music is pretty darn great, and the art style is very appealing.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack has a great retro chiptune sound mixed with some more modern instrumentation that sounds great at the end of it all.
