I want to like this game, but I just don't. It is not satisfying. Every upgrade seems minimal. I've grinded for a 30,000 shard upgraded and felt like it did nothing... this has happened more than once.
Update to review:
The dev is communicative and listens to feedback. Though, it seems like my main gripe of the game is by design. Which is completely fine, not every game is meant for every person. This will be enjoyable to you if you enjoy a grind heavy game with incremental upgrades. I will continue to check in on this game as it receives updates. Hopefully things become more satisfying and there is more of a "purpose" to playing.
