How it feels
A slow, meditative idle game where you watch numbers tick upward as you patiently nudge the odds of improbable coincidences, feeling a calm satisfaction with each small victory.

What players say
Players say it is a clever idle game about beating increasingly improbable odds, but execution feels weak. Upgrades are too expensive late on and the game becomes a repetitive grind through its 20 stages, with the only active choice being an upgrade pick that can bug and reset progress.
