How it feels

A relentlessly cheerful and absurdly self-aware clicker where the main thrill is watching numbers inflate while fighting silly bosses like a flock of Canada geese.

What players say

Players sink thousands of hours into it, calling it one of the best idle games next to Antimatter Dimensions and Cookie Clicker. Many say the humor and references keep them going, but a few find the constant poop jokes uncomfortable. Players split on whether it is a harmless time waster or something that will consume your life.
