The game is alright? There's a bit of lag sometimes when changing menus and it feels like waiting happens very early in the process. I wish early progression was faster,

Newgrounds isn't for free advertising.

i dont think this is a bad game but i also cannot say that its good. i feel like in the first 10-15 hours of gameplay its very smooth and it takes a reasonable amount of time to get an upgrade. after that it is ridiculous how long it takes just to get a single upgrade, and yes i did try to play in an efficient manner and it was still awful at that point. a prestige system where you get more resources would make the game more playable.

I wish it hadn't stopped registering my medals

There are many times I thought about closing this down, honestly don’t know why I went this far, kudos to you for making something that really draws you in. Very educational as well. I will end with an exam score of 90, which is good enough for me. I only have continues I but not 2 or 3 and I did not get the total time achievement. Screen time out kills afk and question of life must be achieved early on, once you get deeper in the game, it’s impossible to achieve with out knowing what it is, requiring looking it up is unfair to the player. The rest of exam, I could get a couple by moving my nodes but as of now, I don’t care.
I bought every upgrade and 100% knowledge. I always focused on auto upgrade to max I could. I don’t even want to finish the last 28% in evolution because even with every upgrade, it fails 5-8 times in a row. Of course I’ve come this far so I will 100% that before I call it quits.
It is a good game, I wish it wasn’t SO idle, if I knew how long it would take, I probably wouldn’t have even started. The ‘stoppers’ or ‘slow down’ spots in it are brutal. I would have enjoyed this game much more if spots like RF - HS and CN weren’t so fun and progress killing. Its one of those games you check on once a day, but I left it up 9 hours, 5 days in a row and checked it once a day on the next 2 days, then the next 3 days again 9 hours, now at 2 hours into the next day and about to finish evolution and close it out.
edit: it took six hours of active time on the last day to just buy enough to get the last 28% for ascension.
