How it feels

A surreal, minimalist idle game where you tap keys to control progress bars, blending absurdity with a deadpan, reflective tone.

What players say

Players say it is exactly what it advertises: clicking through progress bars. Most find the novelty wears off fast, and the achievements demand heavy grinding or an autoclicker. Some enjoy the nostalgia and hidden secrets, but others compare it unfavorably to more substantial idle games.
