Excellent clicker game, definitely worth the money
- Quincy Allan · v1.0.11
Wasn't a big fan. It's done well but it's too automated for me. Felt more like I was managing the game vs playing it. Deeper in the changes to the cards and money scale were anything but intuitive.
- Ben Herr
while the game itself is very fun and unique in comparison to other incrementals you can very easily tell that this port was lazily done with little to no account for screen size. it'd probably play better on tablets which I believe was their original intent but even on the screen of my pixel 10 XL the buttons are small enough to dampen the experience.
- Mack Flynt · v1.0.11
Do not buy this game. There are no instructions. Okay, you figure some things out. Then the game glitches and you cannot get it to move anywhere. There is a button on the cog labeled System that reads “reset all data”. So, you decide to start over, hit that button and you wind up in the same place with absolutely none of the resources that you spent a couple of days building up. I tried resetting it. Same place. I tried deleting it and reloading from the App Store. Same thing. Nothing to do but consider this a real learning experience and just be glad it was so cheap anyway. I would like to get my money back or the game fixed, but on their website (pretty cool looking site, by the way) you have to jump through hoops, download some software to join them, etc. I do not download those kinds of software. I do not do Social Media. I just want easy pay and play and a way to fix it if there’s a problem. Who ever heard of a game that you cannot restart from the beginning? No simple Customer Service spot, just like there are no instructions on how to play the game. Sorry, don’t get it, you will be frustrated.
- KnitKitty · v1.0.10
My only complaint is that the game isn’t longer. But, for $3 I am happy with the purchase. Gave me a good 7 hours of engaging game play that make sense with no spammy mechanics. I really enjoyed this game!
- Rioku96 · v1.0.10
Game was very enjoyable, felt like we were moving very consistently fast as opposed to most idle games, but considering that I finished with under half of the upgrades, that was fairly disappointing by itself. Another boss or level of prestige is needed.
- Logan Thr · v1.0.10
this game is probably one of the better incrementals i’ve seen. unique, visually charming, and fun. but there’s one-ish things that if they were added, i would never stop playing. firstly, more content. i literally just started but seeing as how most people beat it with one night of idling is so much shorter than i was expecting from an idle game. secondly and most importantly, portrait mode. i know there’s a lot of UI elements that need to fit in landscape, but there are tons of ways to fit them into portrait, even if it removes some of the personality. just turning the clipboard and upgrade book into buttons on the screen would work just fine. and you already have to scroll through all of your decks anyway. landscape mode is just uncomfortable for me and a lot of other people. having portrait mode as a toggle in this game would be absolutely incredible. overall, great game, uncomfortable to hold for long periods of time, and while it’s very quality content, there’s too little content. 4/5

Fun
- Haasaan Torres
The visual style is nice. Otherwise, the gameplay loop became boring after a few short sessions.
- GenericAssUsername · v1.0.10
game good👍
- Caleb Caldwell · v1.0.10
This is a really fun game and it seems like the developers care. The writing is funny and gameplay engaging. The issues it has are fixable. Primarily the pacing is just too fast. After my first overnight idling, I had enough to max out all the fairy upgrades, leaving no goals to grind toward or unlocks to look forward to discovering. And on the next run I had way too many new gameplay elements to get used to all at once, and at the same time was upgrading rune-level upgrades so fast I didn’t have time to learn what anything was for. There is no sense of tension, strategizing, build up, or looking forward to unlocking anything. I’m just mashing upgrades all over the place as fast as I can. A faceroll. Which really took the fun out of it. It seems like slowing the pace quite a bit would solve this, so that I could enjoy it across weeks with multiple runs per major prestige, maybe even having to idle to push through a plateau. That’s what makes a good roguelike fun. Just make things cost more, let growth happen slower, and other small tweaks to get it balanced. Other issues are cosmetic. The particle effects, even when graphics are turned low, are honestly blinding. As in, I can’t even read the cards. It runs my battery down faster than it can charge. I really don’t need a light show to enjoy a game with this level of intrinsic fun. I’m here to strategize and watch the numbers go up. I don’t need the gimmicks.
- Corbden · v1.0.10
Don't understand the hype, honestly it's just boring.
- Zentoryx
so.good.
- Mr Yeahhh · v1.0.10
Nice gameplay loop, finished the game in about a week. Would have liked to see more endgame content though as I've really enjoyed playing it and I don't really want to just do the same thing over again just yet. The only major issue is that this game is a massive battery hog in its current state. Need more options to reduce visual effects on mobile. Would also like to see some buttons that make it easier to mass buy upgrades after a prestige.
- Brian Korhonen
like this game is super fun and all, i dont have a problem with its length, i think it looks great and is super satisfying to play, but MAN is it awkward to play in landscape. like im pretty sure this game came out on steam first, but revolution idle has a portrait mode, cmon neow 😭
- prehistoriad · v1.0.10
This game definitely scratches the dopamine itch, with cards flipping over, flashing lights, and increasingly large numbers filling the screen. Unfortunately, that’s the extent of the game for the next 4-5 hours, with a few incremental unlocks (jokers) and specialty cards. The upgrade prices increase exponentially from thousands to millions to billions to trillions, but the resulting “big ticket” items don’t move the needle enough. If you’re happy with “number go up” (but slowly), this is a good fit. I enjoyed my time, but after a few hours I uninstalled because I felt like I had seen everything there was to see (I didn’t really explore the new suit variants because it was just more of the same).
- Mike molecule · v1.0.10
fun. took about a week or less to beat though
- Ken Stone · v1.0.9
very good just very short, I will adjust once it grows more
- ky white · v1.0.9
well, it's not a poker
- julio kautsar · v1.0.9
This was way to short of a game and a bit grindy as well I think I paid too much for this being the thing that glowed up my phones ram
- Jimmy doodle 4 · v1.0.10
Fun, could use a suit list like balatro so you can see how many of each suit you have. The joker fight was too easy and the game is short. Edit: Got all the achievements it took maybe 12 hours of play. You only need 3 specific Jokers throughout your run. Compared to something like cloverpit or ballatro the game is overpriced, unless features are added for replayability.
- S G · v1.0.9
Found it on sale for $3.99 and decided to give it a try. It's a fairly good idle game but it's pretty short. I think even playing non optimally I beat the main story in <2 days. Biggest gripes were that it wasn't an idle that you can have running in the background and it was both a terrible battery drain/overheated my Google Pixel 9 Pro. The graphics and unlocks alone make it seem worth the $3 especially since there are no ads or microtransactions.
- Matt S · v1.0.9
Numbers get big! DOPAMINE DOPAMINE DOPAMINE. Cmon buy it, get your fix, I DARE YOU!
- Jarrod Levandoski · v1.0.9
So much fun, I'm addicted! Add more legendary cards!
- Ismael Santtos · v1.0.9
very fun and flashy, but short. theres definitely room for additional prestige layers and some rebalancing. completed this with just a few prestige resets and about six hours of messing around. i would love to see more control over the deckbuilding aspect, and some more jokers (and reasons to use non-legendary jokers). im replaying it now just to try and make a better deck because the game ended before i was satisfied with the deck i had that run.
- Kanin Kokinoko · v1.0.9
This game is okay. Everything is so automated. If you're a fan of Balatro and Clover Pit this game would be recommended. I am a fan of the others, I didn't enjoy this.
- Nate
this game is fun and all but once you get into the midgame it drains so much power that even fast charging isn't enough to keep the battery from going down
- Alexander Wong · v1.0.9
Keeping getting access blocked error and unable to play game, also was unable to refund.
- zack mendoza · v1.0.9
It's fun and simple for an idle game, starts slow but begins slowly ramping up. It doesn't have offline progress when you close the app, which I understand why (It's a short game), but kind of goes against what an idle game is supposed to be.
- John Doe · v1.0.9
fun but too short. a bit too expensive for a short game that can be finished in an afternoon
- Andrew Hilyer · v1.0.9
idle poker supreme
- James Upton · v1.0.9
addicting
- Christian · v1.0.9
It's a fun enough experience and things start to look pretty as you watch the numbers go up, but it doesn't run in the background which feels like a pretty big sin for an idle game.
- Eleven Ohnoes · v1.0.9
Paid for the game and can't even play it because it says "Access Blocked, if you think you should have access contact the developer"
- Han Jung
really fun to play, very relaxing
- Marceline Simas · v1.0.9
All I get is the opening title photo, can’t interact with anything
- Real Poser · v1.0.9
Poker Rougelike. Do I need to say more
- Jameson Garrett · v1.0.9
Fun, flashy, fairly short incremental. Starts fun, mid-game gets a bit slow, ends with a bang.
- Ben Newell · v1.0.9
It was alright. As an idle game it could use some qol like autobuying upgrades. It also makes my s25 run really hot even on low settings. Pretty short incremental game. I think it took about 6 hours to beat.
- Anthony Atkinson · v1.0.9
I just I bought this and said. access blocked. I read the reviews and everybody said. this a fun game so I thought to give it a try. but I can't even play it
- Travis Gano · v1.0.9
took me a few days to finish the run, its a fun and addicting game that has an ending
- Logan Duran
There is a lot going on in this game, and a bit of a learning curve. But it once you figure it out it’s a really fun way to pass the time.
- BKW985 · v1.0.9
I really enjoyed this game. It’s fun and genuinely unique, but it feels quite short — I finished everything in just 1-2 days. That left it feeling a bit underwhelming overall. I really hope the developers release updates in the future with more content and activities. The game could also use better optimization, as my device gets extremely hot during longer play sessions.
- ١٦٨٩٠٤ · v1.0.9
I beat the game in about 6 hours total play time. I’m kinda disappointed there’s not much left to do besides rack up higher numbers. Honestly though I had a blast beating it. It was a fun play-through, but I think the boss should get harder each time or something so there is still something to work towards. I’m hoping the game gets updates in the future but I won’t be checking on it. The game could really use some more end game content. Worth the investment? Sure why not… kept me busy during a rather boring workday
- Anonymmmous · v1.0.9
The game is pretty fun to play but is short and also has multiple issues with the UI (particularly an issue for players on iPhone). In particular: the menus/buttons are very small which leads to consistently clicking out of them accidentally (a scale slider would be fantastic here). Also, the demolish card function is very difficult to identify separately from the create card function and this leads to constantly deleting cards you want by accident thinking that you are creating them.
- bdcrisco98 · v1.0.9
A bit different from I thought. Similar to belatro but idle.
- Satau Liknimi · v1.0.9
I defeated Lester today, such an addictive game, you must try. Actually I'm waiting for Easy delivery too
- Macabreur · v1.0.9
Very fun idle clicker. This is the epitome of the “numbers go up” genre. It’s nothing like Balatro, which I love, but this is just a totally different game and core mechanic. Like many idle games, the game expands quite a bit after a while so don’t get too bummed when you think you’ve hit a wall. Things will change and grow. Why only three stars? I love playing this game - for the 15 minutes I can get in before my iPad turns to smoldering hot metal and my battery is already dead. No joke - this is one of the most poorly optimized games I’ve ever played.
- Reviewing_Stuff4U · v1.0.7
The game is good and fun but I finished everything in 2 day there is not a lot of gameplay
- Krkrkr krkrkrkyyyy · v1.0.7
After completing the game and obtaining all achievements after 10 hrs. I would say i was entertained. Enjoyed the bells and whistles that accompanied the large numbers. For $5.99, not a bad game. Needs end game activities after battling the jester.
- Brzyeggy · v1.0.7
Runs very well for a day 1 release. Game itself is solid and a relaxing way to kill time. Haven't played the PC version to compare myself but it functionally appears to be a 1:1 port.
