The Space Clicker

It’s a pretty clear progression for the first round of new buildings, but after that, it starts to get a little muddy. Leveling up the elemental buildings takes absolutely forever, and if you don’t specialize early on, you’re out of luck. The skill tree runs out way too quickly, and now I am left with 31 singularities and counting, and nothing to do with them. It would be great if there were star levels of progression for the skill tree so that they didn’t go to waste. It’s nice to just have running in the background and check in on occasion, which is the only way to play after a while. Off-line progression is way too slow, and clicking is basically useless. You have to rely on the 10% bonus to make any measurable progress. A fun game and definitely recommended, but it needs some work at the higher level levels to keep it engaging.

Either this game enjoys the idea of RNG being a gateway to progression, or the makers want you to dish out some money to make only some of the pains go away. Instead of a reincarnation system with runs, you will be playing off the same progress the entire time. So if you are playing and hoping that there will be something new or a way to make some of the grinding lessened, NOPE sorry. Didn’t get any crew for the space laser? When you go back around and have only the space laser as your main income, you could STILL not have any crew. So that section will be a slog and so on and so forth. There is an addition of the elements buildings to try and add some sort of variety and personal builds, but with the amount of time going into the skill tree to remove old ones selected for the old main building to whatever the next tier is, its more of a pain than anything fun. I would say the worse thing about it all is that there was a decent game in here but either greed or what someone thought was a fun progression loop hindered it.

This is an idle play game, growing and expanding as you go. It has super fun and creative pixel graphics. And lovely music. It’s not based on speed, but growing your space port over time. There are lots of great layers like different crew members, pets, and equipment that improve your expansion as you go. If I’d have one suggestion, I’d maybe add two or three more songs for the background music. But it is an idle play game, where the joy comes in gradually growing overtime. That’s how idle play games work.
