The buttons are annoying

I started to play on the web a few days ago. It's an interesting take on the AI point of view. I do like the first part a little more. The drone power and batteries are too confusing. My biggest problem with the game is the buttons. Why do i have click so much to interact with the price ? You guys can do something about this. I downloaded the game on my phone thinking it wouldn't be an issue here. But no it's the same thing you have to click click and click. Please take a look at the interface o

Perfect port no save function

It was fun trying to figure out the balancing features. I did not enjoy finding out there is no saving the game whatsoever. Deleted game means start over. Seems like a pretty simple mistake to leave this iCloud support out.

Most addicting game I ever played

First time playing and got sucked into it while learning how it worked and once i beat it i seen that 4 hours had passed

awesome fun game

add dark mode and i will give you my soul i don’t like getting flashbanged

indescribable

i’ve played this game for years on browser but now on mobile it’s crazy, i’m on reality 36/100 and must finish them all. a beautiful, deep app that teaches many lessons. the only complaints are a) NO DARK MODE PLS ADD and b) there’s a bug where when u first load the app the alien artifact area shows the activate button even though nothing is selected, and when pressed it breaks. tiny complaints compared to the perfection of this game, thank you for making it.

Needs dark theme

Really enjoy the game, please add a dark theme.

Loved it

Happy to see a one time purchase game

It would be great to have an update.

A good update would be the best.

Played this game years ago, still holds up.

As title reads, i played this game 5+ years ago and after searching for decent idle/clicker games, this one still stands as the best one ive ever played on mobile and even beats out most ive played on pc. 10/10 masterpiece

Please make changes!

I love this game, but... I simply cannot stand (nor use) the app version! In the browser, you can freely resize the screen, zoom in and out, and play in landscape or portrait, however you prefer. The app cannot do any of these things! Also, IDK how it is in the app, but the browser version uses so much computing power, I cannot charge the battery *and* play the game simultaneously! Very few other apps even come close to taxing my iDevice like this. Please make these changes! I, like so many oth

It’s much older

This game I played in 2004. Not sure why it says 2017, unless someone deleted the traces of it. I play this game every 10 years, I am surprised that its history has been erased of the PC days, that was the only way to play this.

I can’t stop playing

I’ve been playing this game for an hour (in total) and I can’t stop playing it. Please buy the game!!

Bugged at space age

Game seems to be bugged when you try to get to space age. Don’t have enough clips or don’t have enough energy when you disable everything but the solar panels. When you disable everything you have 6 oct. but when you build power to have 10 million mw/s it drops to 3.23 oct.

Good game, needs polish

The game is good but it's not optimized for mobile at all. I'm rather enjoy the spartan aesthetic, but the UX needs updated for mobile. 1. Buttons need to be bigger. The look is fine but make them at least the size of a finger 2. Make it so we can scroll the event log and also make it larger. Due to the iPhone notch, I could only read one line at a time and missed a lot of the story 3. Maybe allow us to hold down a button to have it auto click at a rate that a human could realistically click a

I used to think an octillion was a lot…

This game changed my sense of scale about everything. Literally everything.

Love this game forever

This game allows me to tune everything out and PRODUCE CLIPS

Addicting. Gets me off twitter!

Would recommend the game. Some small bugs - Clicking “activate” on an already activated artifact (possible if you have just opened the app sometimes) gives you a bunch of red error text over the screen. The only way to get rid of it is to restart the app. - There’s a button to turn on and off sound. There is no sound. Not sure why that button is there.

Such a great game

A mixture of nerdy, retro videogames and futuristic. A great game to play through!

Great game, but bugs can very much ruin the experience

(Some spoilers ahead) As far as bugs go my main issue is with how some things just lose you a bunch of progress, like returning to a world. Every time I’ve tried returning to a previous world to reach an artifact easier I end up losing the world I just reached including the artifact even though I already got to it. Another one is with the final Drone/Factory upgrades just not working properly, making phase 2 drag out for a while at the end. I really REALLY hope these bugs get fixed sometime beca

Probably best incremental game ever made

I’ve never written a review for an app before, but if any game deserved one it’d probably be this one. The UI is poor but the gameplay is the most addictive I’ve ever played. I hope this game gets more recognition and this developer make more games like this.

Love this game.

Great iOS edition. Wish it had iCloud saves and a better iPad version but it’s super fun to play. Thanks for the port!

Great port, except …

Auto tourney never appears for me. I have played through twice to be sure, but it’s simply not working for me. Makes collecting Yomi *very* time consuming.

One of my favorites but an odd issue

I love this game a lot but I’ve noticed I seem to be unable to get any universe exploration now that I’ve moved to world 2, is this a known bug or does it take longer and longer as you prestige?

My favorite mobile game

By far the best game to play on a phone. I would love to see offline play!

Love the update!

This game is super entertaining and the update makes it much more fun to play over and over. One suggestion: it would be nice to have a way to sync progress over multiple devices or even the web version.

Update Fixed Everything

Recent updates fixed saving issue, new artifact system makes replayability possible and engaging

Bug

I believe the ability to get gifts bugged out due to the synchronize event and bored event happening at the same time. I think. Cool to see it can still be beaten with a huge nurf like that though.

I would love to see

An option that allows the game to run in the background so I can read the news while I collect yomi. Keep up the good work. Very impressed.

Gr8

makes my brain go burr. numbers go up, am happy, numbers go down, am not happy

bug

bug wasnt a bug, im dumb ty for fixing the game devs

Buggy

Hi great game, but I ran into a breaking bug late in the game. After collecting all matter on earth, my clip production stopped working. Clips per second is 0 even with 200 factories, plenty of wire and power. What to do? :( please look into this

Help, I can’t stop.

Someone help me. I clicked Make a Paperclip and it’s been 4 days now and my husband left me, my children are dirty and starving, and my dog has just been peeing behind the couch. But I have made a lot of paperclips.

Moar, but later not

It starts so…simply. Beware that turning off your iOS device can cause to stop working until you uninstall and reinstall, thus losing all “universe/sim level” progress. And there are other bugs, but so fun!

Game breaks with low battery mode

Noticed that if you turn on low battery mode it no longer runs at full speed. Noticed this happening once I bought Swarm Computing. Notice difference in all counting when turned on.

Paperclips.

No time to review, the paperclips must grow.

Hilarious and terrifying

My favorite combination of emotions.

One of the greatest clickers of all time

If you’re in the mood for an existential crises, this is the game for you! No, I’m not joking.

Worth every penny

This game is a true masterpiece. I enjoyed everything about it. The story telling was unique and gameplay was addicting. The ending was phenomenal and very thought provoking. I encourage anyone to buy this I was not disappointed.

Love it!

OMG love games like this. Find the right combinations to get optimal production of paperclips 😁😁😁

fun game

i was hoping you could keep going and didnt realize that releasing the drones would end the game, but oh well

great game

if u could make a delete save function it would be six stars

Good but bugged

Hit several bugs. Some that did not give promised trust. Big one that late game limerick repeats result in negative creativity of 10 mil ending the game basically. Hopefully the 2 bucks per app makes them fix this crap. Five stars if fixed.

Gameplay

I noticed in the space stage I was unable to see the drone war. Please fix

Great Game

Very engaging and rewarding to play. Perfect for killing time on road trips or long flights. Well worth the price.

Fun but stage 3 is like hitting a brick wall

This is a fun game, but reaching stage 3 was like hitting a brick wall. I feel like I’ve been painted into a corner with no way to proceed.
