This game is not tagged as "Early access", even though it's very, very, VERY early access. There is a "**BETA WARNING**" in the description so I'm guessing this has been forgotten by the dev, but as it stands it's very misleading. You'll see everything the game has to offer in around 20 minutes (bar maybe the "Prestige shop", which has only 3 mostly useless entries).

Beta warning? Should be a pre-alpha warning with an early access tag. There's content for like 10 minutes since other than placing 5 different buildings and upgrading to lvl3 is all that works currently. Too many issues to even count. You should release this as a demo.
It might get interesting, but it's still far from that.

There are still a lot of bugs in this game, it would help if there was a tutorial and i'm not even getting any income from my factories.

This idle game stands out with an interesting yet initially confusing premise. At first, I didn't quite understand what to do, so I set it aside. But when I returned, I discovered that it's actually pretty accessible once you get the hang of balancing upgrades and prestige points. I even let it run overnightāby morning, I had maxed out all achievements and prestige upgrades!
That said, there are a couple of minor frustrations. Having to click on every field individually to build structures is a bit tediousāit would be much better if you could select an entire area. Plus, the performance takes a hit as you accumulate more buildings, sometimes dropping down to 20 fps.
Overall, though, it's a good game for free, and the criticism seems a bit overblown.
