Ratings and Reviews
The Zen I didn't know I needed...
This game gets as habitual and addictive as Cookie Clicker or Adventure Capitalist, while being much more low-key and chill. Even with the ambient music off, even the sparks bouncing off shard after shard make their own eerily pleasant music, while the chaotic trails and dancing shards make their own weirdly-beautiful moving art.
Put it before you go to sleep and you'll wake up much richer (in-game) than you were the night before.
You don't necessarily need to pay anything, as everything you get (in-game) can be easily earned with enough time and patience, but I'd be happy enough to pay regardless, both to reward the dev for this minimalist masterpiece and to unlock premium features that would genuinely make my game experience all the better...like a Safe that quietly fills with bonus Prisms, doesn't force you to buy it, but occasionally reminds you it's there, and waits for you to come to it and get a tidy windfall (in-game)...
Amazing Developer and Game
I like this game, I’m not a spender like micro transactions and stuff but the game does offer adds for speed ups and helpful little things along the way. Every so often instead of an Ad you’ll get a “thank you but we got this one” and you get this stuff instantly whatever it may be. Never been have I seen that. Amazed me. Also after every ad I watch I see a Thank you message which I really appreciate coming from the team and I feel like I’ve just contributed along with thousands of others to provide more funding to make the game better.
And trust me it is fun I’m getting locked in playing it and I’m loving every second of it, if you like an “idle game” this one is real - no forced ads no forced anything. Just a good time that will last
Surprisingly Calming and Addictive
I personally just enjoy listening to music or watching a video while playing this app. It gives my hands something to do, which really helps me stay focused. I have pretty bad ADHD, and this game has honestly been a great outlet for me. It keeps my mind engaged just enough without being overwhelming, and the repetitive yet satisfying gameplay is really calming.
It’s perfect for those moments when I need to fidget or stay occupied without having to fully commit my attention. Whether I’m unwinding after a long day or just trying to stay grounded, this app has become a go-to for me. Definitely recommend it for anyone who needs a simple but effective way to keep their hands busy while listening to music or watching videos.
