You know those mobile merge games. this is what i would a pc equivalent to that but with only an upfront cost instead of microtransactions/ads. its a concept i like and would really enjoy playing. sadly i cannot recommend buying this game in its current state.

Ive managed to basically complete the game in ~7 hours, what u can actually actively play at least the only thing im missing is one upgrade which is called "Complete the game" but its so expensive its not reasonably doable i would have to leave the game open for ~7 years (because there is no progress when u close the game) to actually have enough currency to buy this upgrade and "Complete the game" and this is not the only broken thing in the game see the list below.

Broken Stuff:
-Complete the Game takes 7 years of idling
-Relic Achievements don't register (i have all relics but not the achievement for it)
-Sprites/Selection indicators sometimes just dont dissappear causing ghost textures that overlap the actual textures that your supposed to see.
-No explanations, Nothing is explained to you, most things are logical as ive played things like this before but some things just require an explanation as theyre unique to the game like what does "Achievement Multipler" do as there is nothing i can find ingame about achievements and it providing any bonusses. "Online rank Multiplier" Does this give u more points on the leaderboard itself? how are the points on the leaderboard calculated?

Even if everything was fixed i would still not recommend getting the game as this game is less then 10 hours of gameplay for $5 not on sale. I would need to see the game get an extension content wise as well as these bugs fixed before id personally recommend buying the game to anyone.

I WANT to give this game some slack, but when it comes out in a broken state that this game is in, do mind you I have completed the game in about 10 hours, this game is NOT worth the money.

You can't get boosts cause the game doesnt recognize that you have completed them, so you are stuck doing the game on level 1 instead of leveling up.

Brokeen UI where other items overlap eachothere or disappear if you do something outside the norm, meaning bad design flaw, i mean all you get is one inventory menu.

Can't Prestige past lvl 1.
Less than 10 hours to complete everything.

I expect to recieve my achievements that I earned without trying play this game ever again.

Would make a decent free clicker, but as is, has game breaking bugs involving the relic system. I've upgraded everything and completed all the top level merges, and I'm stuck waiting over 100 days of this game running to finish the final gold mission, with no way for me to get those final relics to speed it up. I don't think I'll be doing that.

Neat idea and par execution, just needs polishing and refinement. Beginning progress is torturous as you have to just sit and right click for an hour, with no reason to merge or do anything, just click the same spot for an hour

Waiting: The Game.
It's extremely boring with obscenely hard achievements to pad out the time, prestige mechanic sucks.

Way too slow start and after getting all upgrades after around 8h of somewhat active play time, there's still the "game end donation" which is taking ages to complete. In about a minute of fully upgraded gold income I get around 0.001% progress for the game end donation so this will take around 70 days of just leaving the game open (there's no offline progress) without any active gameplay to get the last "upgrade".

I don't even know why i olay this. Want to have an opinion on how is it, just go "Benefits" part in the description and imagine the opposite of everything written there.

For $5, and 2 days worth of gameplay seeing every merge, I'd say it's a "tolerable"-ish price.

(Some minor spoiler alerts)

It was fun unlocking each new fusion, which satisfies my desire for discovering and collecting shiny things. With 8 sections and 12 fusions each, that's almost 100 shinies to discover....

Now with that said, I do have critiques...

The game start is painfully slow. There were a few times I wanted to rage-quit because you are stuck on 2 squares for what feels like an hour, and it feels like you are getting nowhere. So discovering new shinies is kept tantalizingly out of reach for a good portion of the first couple of hours or so. What is a poor impatient goblin brain to do? It does eventually speed up though.

Glitches: Images do glitch out if you drag it to merge with a match and accidentally drop it too soon when an item/creature spawns into that box (leaving an image of the spawn stuck on the square). But, It does reset it when you activate a relic. Which comes to the next glitch... If you skip a relic because you don't feel like activating relics in chronological order and you want to skip ahead, you're not able to activate the last relics when you unlock the final merge of the remaining sections.

undone, sell prices go down as you level the objects its got bugs not worth it
