an oddly painful and frustrating grind....

... and yet that's what it took to make me realize I really WAS enjoying this.

So I tossed money at the dev. In a silly free game.

... worth it.

It's my favorite "idle" game. I'm only to sector 32 but whenever I get stuck I focus on something else and I can advance. The grind doesn't feel so bad when there is always a strategy to change. Fun game.

The grind is mostly automated so while you do setup your strategy you can simply put the game on a second screen, minimize or even close it after tweaking.

It is one of those games that are perfect distractions for a few minutes a day. Or what I do during dull waiting times on server log processing at work where you are staring at a percentage bar.
