I was trying to remember what game this reminded me of, but every example I could think of was actually a lot more elaborate and more rewarding than this game. If I had to get to the root of what I mean: You start by clicking on "Mine a crystal". You continue doing this until you can buy a Pickaxe upgrade, which boosts how many crystals you get per click. You repeat this several times. You save up enough crystals to buy the Grinder stone upgrade, which boosts how effective your Pickaxe is. You continue clicking, buying upgrades for now your Pickaxe and Grinder stone along the way. You save up enough to purchase the Reinforcement upgrade, which boosts your Grinder stone. You continue clicking, until you can prestige. You repeat this process, this time with some boosts. You do get some options to autobuy upgrades, but you are still clicking, and still repeating the same process, ever and ever again. Hours later, you realize that's there's nothing left to do except continue to repeat the same cycle over and over. There are a few other upgrades available with the prestige currently, but none of them are finished or fully implemented yet. You leave the game open a few hours, and when you come back to it, you haven't made any progress. And then you wonder, is this a new game? Is it still being worked on? And you find out it's a Patreon supported game that was last updated 6 months ago. It's abandoned, bare bones, and you've wasted hours every second you spent playing it (and not in a good way).

Anyways... this game is terrible.
