I definitely find the hostility unwarranted here. As I wrote in my review of the original:

"The concept is simple but clever: it's a standard incremental, but your buttons have timers that get increasingly lengthy. It may seem slow to have a game where you can only make the number up on intervals measured in hours, but is that REALLY much different from grinding prestige runs for days to increase a multiplier, for example?"

I stand by that. This is a streamlined, even meta, take on the genre. I find it funny this one is getting savaged despite the fact that, believe it not, it's been retuned to play much faster than previous versions.
